In relation to this being the first preseason game, the Rams played solid against the NO Saints. RBs Tre Mason and Chase Reynolds had some success and I really liked the performance of QB Shaun Hill. Here is the scoring summary:
| Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | TTL |
| NO | 3 | 13 | 10 | 0 | 26 |
| STL | 7 | 10 | 0 | 7 | 24 |
A couple of field goals go our way and we get a win here. Below are some of the stats from the night:
| First Downs | 22 | 22 |
| Total Yards | 375 | 388 |
| Turnovers | 2 | 0 |
| Time of Possession | 28:36:00 | 31:24:00 |
| First Downs | 22 | 22 |
| Third Down Efficiency | 5-12 | 7-17 |
| Avg Gain Per Play | 5.9 | 5.5 |
| Net Yards Rushing | 123 | 150 |
| Rushes | 24 | 32 |
| Yards Per Rush | 5.1 | 4.7 |
| Net Yards Passing | 252 | 238 |
| Comp-Att | 27-40 | 21-34 |
| Yards Per Pass | 6.3 | 6.3 |
| Times Sacked | 0 | 4 |
| Interceptions | 2 | 0 |
| Penalty Yards | 104 | 118 |
I’ll spare you any kind of analysis since most of the stats are not from the starters, but I’ll say it again… I like QB Shaun Hill’s numbers. For the night he had 2 TDs, 71.4 pass completion percentage, no interceptions, and a QB rating of 151.2. I think we finally have a go to guy if we decide to pull the plug on Sam Bradford. Next week we have another home game against the Packers. It should be a lot of fun and we’ll be a week closer to the beginning of the 2014 season. Go Rams!!!
