Rams Fans - What do you Want?!
Ok… number #1
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
When your team doesn’t perform according to your expectations what do you want? When your team has eaten from the basket of sweet victory and then year after year has been banished to eat scraps with the dogs… what do you want?
Blood (figuratively...
Rams Cut Pisa
Wow. The Rams continue to rehad their roster and cut OLB Pisa Tinoisamoa.
That leaves starters at linebacker as Witherspoon, Laurnaitis, and Draft.
I’m surprised as I had Pisa penciled in at OLB in 2009. The Rams brass must have seen something they liked out of Draft, Culberson...
Rams Trade Brian Leonard
The Rams “man with a posistion” is now a man without the Rams anymore as they traded Brian Leonard to the Bengals for defensive tackle Orien Harris. Brian Leonard did not fit in with the new Rams regime and was certainly a Scott Linehan guy. He was slowed by injury...
Jacob Bell Packs on the Pounds
First and foremost, I know there are now a lot of Jason’s on the Rams new rebuilt offensive line. 2 out of the 5 starters are named Jason, but there is one player named Jacob. The St. Louis Post Dispatch had it wrong in their headline about Jacob Bell. They called him...
Avery and Burton Line Up as the #1 and #2 Wide Outs at Camp
The Rams tweaking of the offense continues, and this past weekend at mini-camp they showed some looks in the passing game where March Bulger threw to recievers Donnie Avery and Keenan Burton and wide outs one and two. The Post-Dispatch wrote on the wide out looks over the weekend:...

Bulger Says Haters to the Left
Marc Bulger used an interview with Brian Burwell to clear the air on a few topics swirling around him. First off, he was not going to pull a Jason Campbell with all the Marc Sanchez rumors. Secondly, he knows that the only way to remove the title of certified “non-leader...
Reason #236 Why The Rams Struggled
From Jim Thomas’s article today:
At the end of the draft, the competition for rookie free agents can be fierce. Sometimes a signing bonus of just a few thousand dollars can clinch the deal. In recent years, the Rams have not spent much signing bonus money on rookie free agents...
About the Backup Running Back
There has been a lot of concern and gnashing of teeth since the NFL draft with regards to the Rams backup running back situation, but I don’t see it. A great offensive line can make a great running back. Also, the Rams have the players on their roster to spell Steven Jackson...
Rams Will Have 2 of Top 15 Rookies in 2009
What If Sports ran 1000 simulations of the 2009 season to find out which rookies would have the biggest impact. Two of our own St. Louis Rams were in the top 15. You guess is as good as mine…
15. James Laurinaitis, LB, St. Louis
I assume they have Laurinaitis penciled in...
James Laurinaitis: Instant Starter
While it’s clear the Rams have the intent of starting Jason Smith (they’d be crazy not to), the player who could make the most impact is none other than the 35th selection of the draft. While USC linebacker Rey Maualuga was still available (and was not chosen, to those fans still...
Position Battles
With the offseason fast approaching, it would be a good idea to delve into two of the position battles that the team will face this offseason.
Cornerback
The Rams are facing a battle for both nickelback and the other starting spot next to Ron Bartell. Tye Hill is the favorite for the...
Rams Passed on Maualuga Due to Off Field Issues
While the Rams were not the only team to take a pass on him, there were plenty of questions as to why so many teams like the Rams passed on USC LB Rey Maualuga. Many thought that Maualuga would be a mid to high first-round pick, but instead ended up going in the second [...]
Undrafted Scouting
Via the list below posted by Jeff, let’s take a look at some of the Rams undrafted signees that have a legitimate shot at making the team, with some scouting data provided by NFL.com:
Roger Allen, OG:
Allen has a good upper strength and is able to secure the inside of the line....
Rams Undrafted Signees
Here’s the list of signees from Around the Horns:
Roger Allen/G/Missouri Western State
Ekenemchukwu Asiodu/LB/Central Oklahoma State
Jarrett Byers/WR/NE Oklahoma State
Ian Campbell/DL/Kansas State
Quentin Chaney/WR/Oklahoma
Dominic Douglas/LB/Mississippi State
Ray Feinga/G/Brigham...
Draft Grades Are Dead - Long Live Draft Grades
No matter how meaningless they are, pundits and everyone from Sam at the butcher shop all put together their draft grades for each team one day after the draft. These grades are less than meaningless, but yet we read them and continue to talk about them.
Yahoo! gives the Rams a...
Rams snag Chris Ogbonnaya in the 7th
The Rams added a RB who should be able to compete for depth behind SJ39. Ogbonnaya is a RB from Texas University, coming in at 5’ 11”, 220lbs. He started 13 games last year and ran for 373 yards and 4 touchdowns, while adding 540 yards and three scores in the passing game.
He...
Rams add Keith Null in 6th
There isn’t much to find on the QB from West Texas AM, but from what I can find, he should have every opportunity to make the team as a third stringer. He has good size at 6’ 4” 220lbs and according to NFL.com has great accuracy to go along with good speed for someone of [...]
How’d The Rams Do On Draft Day?
The Rams stuck to their boards and their grades and filled out a lot of the many needs they had.
In the first round, the Rams got a starter at either tackle spot in Jason Smith. He should be starting at RT in his rookie season, but should move the LT in his sophmore season assuming [...]
Rams Select Brooks Foster in 5th Round
Using Atlanta’s pick (which was involved in the trade for WR Robinson) the Rams picked up Brooks Foster, a Wide Receiver from UNC.
I think it was a wise move to wait to draft a WR. After the first two rounds, most of the players were gone that could have made an immediate impact, which [...]
Rams Draft Dorell Scott in 4th
The Rams addressed another one of their needs by drafting Dorell Scott in the fourth round. He’s a 6’ 4” 320lb. DT from Clemson.
National Football Post states that he has good natural ability; he can come of the line quick and can play with good leverage. He’s a good pass...
New Ram: Bradley Fletcher
The Rams filled another need at the beginning of Round 3 picking Bradley Fletcher, CB from Iowa.
Fletcher is a raw corner with only one year of starting experience. He’s highly athletic with idea size.
He does look like a bit of a ‘tweener between safety and corner,...
Newest Ram Smith Talks to the Media
(On how it feels to be a Ram)
“It feels great. A lot of hard work and preparation to get to this point and it just paid off. I feel privileged to be even considered to, come play for us and be drafted by them. But, I understand that we have to win, we have to [...]
3rd Round Hot Names
Who should the Rams pick at around 10am Eastern Time Sunday morning?
Ramses Barden - WR - Cal Poly
Juaquin Iglesias - WR - Oklahoma
Derrick Williams - WR - Penn State
Michael Johnson - DE - Georgia Tech
D.J. Moore - CB - Vanderbilt
Sean Smith - CB - Utah
Is there anyone else out there?
With the 35th Selection in the 2009 Draft
The St. Louis Rams select James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State. I’m torn right now between him and Rey Maualuga, but I think Laurinaitis is a great choice for the Rams. If everyone passed on Maualuga, there must be something we don’t know. I trust Devaney and his decision making...
