Steven Jackson Makes Pro Bowl

In a sign that the Pro Bowl voters decided not to look at the Rams woeful 1-14 record and instead looked at the way Steven Jackson put the Rams on his back game after game until his back gave out in Week 16, Steven Jackson was voted to the 2010 Pro Bowl.  It is his [...]

Another Vote for Suh

Mike Sando of the NFC West Blog spoke with Steve Muench of Scouts Inc. and here’s what he said about what the Rams should do if they end the season with the number 1 selection in the NFL draft. Muench’s answer for the Rams: Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh — the best prospect at the [...]

RamView: Week 16 – Part 3

Receivers: Brandon Gibson (5-51) made the catch of the day, breaking open in the end zone behind two Cardinals and making a diving catch while landing his hip inside the end line for the Rams’ only TD today and their first 3rd quarter TD of the season. He and Donnie Avery (2-24) showed some field-stretching [...]

RamView: Week 16 – Part 2

RB: One of today’s big shockers: Ram RBs gained 85 yards on 20 carries even with Steven Jackson in street clothes, with back and assorted injuries finally leaving him unable to answer the bell. Jackson’s had no reliable change-of-pace back behind him all season; suddenly this week, Kenneth Darby (11-40) and Chris Ogbonnaya (9-45) were [...]

RamView: Week 16 – Part 1

RamView, December 27, 2009 From The Couch (Report and opinions on the game.) Game #15: Arizona 31, Rams 10 2009 can’t end soon enough for the Rams, and without Steven Jackson today, they were playing their first preseason game of 2010 anyway, absorbing yet another blowout loss to Arizona. Ndamukong Suh’s starting next week, right? [...]

Rams Fall to Cardinals 31-10

The Rams lost their 14th game of the season, to drop to 1-14 after a 31-10 domination by the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix Stadium. The Rams held the Cardinals to a 0-0 tie after the end of the first quarter but the Cardinals dominated the second quarter with 17 points that was [...]

Bulger Placed On IR, Parks Promoted

Not totally unexpected, the St. Louis Rams on Saturday placed quarterback Marc Bulger on the injured reserve list, making him the 13th Rams player to visit the list. The team had little hope that Bulger could return from a broken left shin bone before the end of the regular season, and Bulger was just working [...]

RamView: Week 15 – Part 9

Upon further review: Ed Hochuli’s crew allowed too much chippy play. Jackson’s helmet came off at least 4 times today; how does that happen without a penalty? Jacques Reeves’ facemask on Amendola’s long return seemed pretty cut-and-dried but the officials had to hold a conclave before confirming the flag. Pollard threw the first punch of [...]
