Sammy B’s Time to Shine

The NFC West is more wide open than it ever has been in recent memory. I honestly have no idea who will win it this year. I can tell you one thing, it certainly won’t be the Rams. Sam Bradford is looking to live up to his rather lucrative rookie contract of $78 million, but this won’t be the year he does that. At least not until he gets more help. His top receiver is Donnie Avery and he is injured.

Their offensive line is abysmal, as the Rams were one of the worst teams in the league in giving up sacks to the opposing defense. That has to change before Bradford can be an effective quarterback. Imagine if he had Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt around like in the old days. That would be a pretty dangerous team.

The bottom line remains, Bradford will not live up to his contract, or his potential for that matter, until the Rams get him some help offensively. Until that happens, they will just have to be stuck with a boatload of sacks and Steven Jackson creating from nothing out of the backfield. Bradford has the tools to become a consistent franchise quarterback.

The Rams will finish last in the NFC West with a 4-12 record. The NFC West will be kind to them. In any other division, they would be lucky to get two wins.

Choice Should Be Clear For Rams In Draft

From the day that the Rams secured the #1 overall pick in Thursday’s NFL draft, there was debate as to who the Rams should take to jumpstart the rebuild of the franchise. Well the answer to this debate should be clear, the Rams must start with a quarterback, and more specifically, Sam Bradford. Look at the teams who have been consistent winners over the past 5 years: the Steelers, Colts, Eagles, Giants, Chargers, Patriots. What do they all have in common? A pro bowl level quarterback. When you have the ability to get a franchise quarterback, you have to take it, especially when you look around the league at the teams that have not been able to have sustained success and it is largely due to subpar quarterback play. The Rams in particular, have been hampered for several years with the likes of an injury plagued Marc Bulger, Kyle Boller, Keith Null, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Sam Bradford has been given a clean bill of health and if he had declared last year, would have been selected ahead of both Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez. A minor shoulder injury should not scare the Rams away from taking a potential franchise changing player. The NFL is now a pass happy, quarterback driven league, so when Roger Goodell reads the first name from the podium on Thursday night, he better read: Sam Bradford, quarterback, Oklahoma.

Rams’ Demise Is Two-Pronged

Steve Spagnuolo isn’t normally a numbers guy, but sometimes stats are unavoidable. Such was the case with Sunday’s 27-17 loss to Seattle.

“If you said our defense was going to hold Seattle to 265 total yards, a quarterback rating of 65, and 95 yards passing, I would’ve said that was going to be pretty good,” Spagnuolo said.

When it come to pass defense, and total defense, those certainly are numbers you can live with.

But instead of earning a rare victory, the Rams got yet another loss — and a double-digit one at that — against a Seahawks squad that has won only two of nine games this season against teams not named St. Louis.

“Always a tough one to swallow when you feel like it’s two even opponents playing a tough football game … and then you kind of let it get away,” Spagnuolo said. “I think it came down to turnovers and run defense.”

On an offense that is averaging only 11.8 points a game, there is little margin for error. Legitimate chances to score haven’t come around that often for the Rams, so turnovers (and missed field goals, for that matter) can be very deflating.

Rams have lots of problems, but a little hope, too

Sunday certainly established one thing: The Indianapolis Colts are a heck of a lot better than the Jacksonville Jaguars. A week ago, the Rams went toe-to-toe with the Jags before losing 23-20 in overtime. This week… well, this week the Rams were never really in it.

After the Colts drove for a touchdown on their first possession, the Rams responded with an eight-play, 69 yard drive. That drive included what is almost certainly the biggest highlight reel play for the Rams to date this season: a 51-yard flea-flicker pass from Marc Bulger to Donnie Avery that got the Rams to the Indianapolis 14. Unfortunately, as we have seen all too often this year, that drive stalled right there, and the Rams settled for a field goal and a 7-3 game.

That’s as close as the Rams would get to the Colts in a 42-6 rout.

Rams will be without three starters vs. Lions

St. Louis Rams rookie cornerback Bradley Fletcher will miss the rest of the season with two torn ligaments in his right knee.

Fletcher, a third-round pick, started for the third straight game and was injured in the second half of Sunday’s 42-6 loss to the Colts. He’ll require two operations, and coach Steve Spagnuolo said today he might not be ready for the start of next season.

Long snapper Chris Massey also is set for knee surgery that will sideline him the remainder of the season. The team was auditioning potential replacements today.
