Welcome St. Louis
Rams Fans
St. Louis Rams Sign
Center Hank Fraley
The St. Louis Rams
continued with their "so
what" free agent
signings, by adding 32
year old center Hank
Fraley to their roster.
Fraley was the back up
center in 2009 for the
Cleveland Browns,
starting only four
games. Fraley has been
very durable for an
interior lineman
starting 123 games of
the 135 that he has
played in over his 10
year career. Steve
Spagnuolo again has ties
to this free agent
pickup. Coach Spagnuolo
was with the
Philadelphia Eagles
while Fraley was playing
in Philadelphia. First
we had the FOSL's with
Scott Linehan, then
ex-Saints players coming
to town for Jim Haslett
and now Spagnuolo
continues to focus on
Eagles and Giants
retreads. Sure their may
be an advantage to
knowing these players or
having a relationship
with them but are they
the top players to help
the St. Louis Rams in
2010?
Chris Long Visits
Kirkwood High School
Wednesday Chris Long
stopped by the Gatorade
G Series Mobile Locker
Room at Kirkwood High
School to talk to the
varsity boys baseball
team about the
importance of proper
training, nutrition and
hydration strategies.
Gatorade is bringing the
ultimate locker room
experience to a handful
of high schools around
the country with the G
Series Mobile Locker
Room, a state-of-the-art
facility that will
travel to at least eight
schools nationwide
between March and May.
This fully functional
locker room will be a
place for the G Series
Mobile athletes to prime
themselves before,
rehydrate during, and
recover after training
and competitions. These
students will also have
the opportunity to be
some of the first high
school athletes in the
country to test the new
G Series sports
performance products,
which were designed by
Gatorade scientists in
collaboration with the
world’s greatest
athletes to provide
fuel, fluids and
nutrients before, during
and after workouts,
practices or games.
With the 2010 NFL Draft
just a few weeks away
there is quite a lot of
speculation going around
about what the St. Louis
Rams should do with the
first overall selection.
Currently the choice
seems to be between
Ndamukong Suh , Gerald
McCoy, Sam Bradford, or
attempting to trade down
to pick up more
selections in the draft.
Currently I would like
the Rams to select a new
young quarterback, and
Bradford would be my
selection if he is
medically cleared. I
still do not believe in
drafting a defensive
tackle in the first
round of an NFL draft.
It is still very earlier
and most people will
change their minds
several more times
before April 22nd. Who
would you like to see
the Rams select with the
first overall choice?
ESPN's Adam Schefter
says Rams will pick
Bradford at #1
"Let me say this, I
have not spoken to the
Rams about it at all. I
don't need to. I have
spoken to enough other
people and have heard
enough other things that
tell me there is no way
the St. Louis Rams will
not wind up taking Sam
Bradford."

Jason Smith - Jason
Smith appeared to be a
project to start with
and still may be going
into the 2010 season.
Jason played in eight
games in 2009, starting
in five of them. Jason
still appears to be more
suited to play RT than
LT, he is also still way
better at run blocking
than pass blocking.
James Laurinaitis -
James was a great pick
right out of the box.
James filled a huge need
at MLB. Laurinaitis
started all 16 games and
was outstanding.
Laurinaitis made 120
tackles had two sacks a
forced fumble and two
interceptions. James
needs some better cover
skills but other than
that he had a great
year. Laurinaitis fell
to the Rams as did Rey
Maualuga, looks like the
Rams made the better
choice here.
Bradley Fletcher - With
the surprising release
of Tye Hill Fletcher got
an early chance to play.
Fletcher played in seven
games and started in 3.
Bradley was having his
best game of the year
against Indianapolis
when he was injured.
Bradley suffered two
torn ligaments in his
right knee and missed
the final nine games of
the 2009 season.
Fletcher will try to
return by 2010 training
camp after recovering
from a couple of knee
surgeries.
Dorell Scott - Dorell
did not get much playing
time in preseason. Late
in the season coach
Steve Spagnuolo gave
some of the younger
players more
oppurtunities and Scott
made the most of it.
Dorell started five of
the last 6 games the
Rams played recording 18
tackles and playing very
well inside. I would
love to see the Rams
draft offensive weapons
in the upcoming 2010 NFL
Draft, and continue to
develop Clifton Ryan and
Dorell Scott inside.
Foster Brooks - A
preseason injury to
Foster Brooks sidelined
him for the whole 2009
NFL season. Brooks
suffered a serious ankle
injury against the Jets
requiring surgery. While
Foster is a great
athlete I still do not
understand drafting the
3rd best receiver on the
North Carolina Tar
Heels. As a senior
Brooks only caught 30
passes and in 2007
Brooks did not start in
any game. Brooks will
most likely have a hard
time making the 2010
Rams roster.
Keith Null - With the
injury to Marc Bulger
and Kyle Boller's lack
of production along with
the Rams terrible record
Keith Null was pressed
into service. For a late
round draft pick from
West Texas A&M, it is
pretty impressive that
Keith could do as well
as he did. By NFL
standards he failed but
he did not seem
overwhelmed by being in
the NFL which is a great
sign. Keith completed 73
of 119 passes for 566
yards, including 3 TDs
and 9 interceptions for
a QB rating of 49.9.
Keith probably did
enough to earn his way
onto the 2010 Rams.
Chris
Ogbonnaya
- Chris
had a hard time making
the Rams squad bouncing
between being cut and
being on the practice
squad. Ogbonnaya was
finally given a chance
and promoted to the
active roster on
November 28, 2009. Chris
was on the Rams active
roster from week 12
through the end of the
season. Chris was able
to get into two games
were he had 11 carries
for 50 yards and one
reception for 19 yards.
Steven Jackson spoke
highly of Chris several
times about his work
ethic. With the lack of
backup running backs on
the Rams Chris will have
a chance to once again
be on the roster in
2010.

St. Louis Rams Complete
The Perfect Season
The St. Louis Rams
completed their perfect
season today with a
23-20 Overtime loss to
the Jacksonville
Jaguars. Tomorrow will
be the one year
anniversary of the St.
Louis Rams stunning
34-14 victory over the
Dallas Cowboys. That is
one calendar year folks,
without watching our
beloved Rams win a
regular season football
game. When the salary
cap and parity have made
it so easy to compete
the Rams have found a
way to lose 16 straight
games. Scott Linehan has
been gone for a while
now, and the Rams have
still managed to lose
under Haslett and
Spagnuolo as well.
Although the Rams were
only 9 yards away from
winning the game late
today, you just never
have a feeling they will
pull it out. If we feel
that way how must they
feel in the locker room?
The Rams have been
perfect, 16 straight
losses. The Rams are 0-9
in their last nine road
games and 0-7 in their
last seven home games.
To put things into
perspective the Rams
have been outscored
456-190 points in those
16 games. The Detroit
Lions who went 0-16 in
2008 scored 268 points
while allowing 517. The
Lions were the laughing
stock of the country the
only difference between
the 2008 Lions and our
Rams is the calendar
year. The Rams have lost
9 of those 16 games by
at least 19 points. We
have been routinely
blown out like a college
team.
Today's loss was almost
worst than being blown
out. The Rams took the
opening kickoff and
marched down to take an
early 7-0 lead on a pass
from Marc Bulger to
Donnie Avery. The Rams
led from that point on
until only 8 minutes and
5 seconds remained in
the game. Then just when
you thought it was over
Leonard Little made a
fantastic play, on an
awful play by David
Garrard and intercepted
a pass and took it 36
yards for what looked
like the winning TD.
However nothing is that
easy for the Rams. The
Jaguars went 75 yards on
9 plays to take the lead
back 20-17. The Rams had
one last chance and on a
unbelievable screen pass
catch and run by Steven
Jackson the Rams were
able to move down the
field. When Randy
McMichael caught a 13
yard pass and took the
ball to the Jags nine
yard line with only 30
seconds left, a win was
finally in our site.
The Rams that are 5-33
in their last 38 games
then took over. The Rams
who wasted 2 timeouts
earlier in the half only
managed two incomplete
passes and never once
threw a pass into the
end zone and were still
left with 1 time out
when time expired. The
Rams never saw the ball
in OT as the Jags went
62 yards in 13 plays and
capped off the game and
the Rams perfect season
with a Josh Scobee
36-yard field goal.
Thanks to the Rams for
our special season
The Whole Rams
Organization Needs An
Enema
I watched a lot of
football this weekend,
too much probably, but
among the comments I
heard one stood out and
it was "The whole
organization needs an
enema". I don't remember
who said it or who they
were talking about, the
Raiders I believe, but I
am now going to use it
after watching the St.
Louis Rams today. This
Rams organization does
need an enema. Before I
get into the game itself
look at what we know
already about the Rams.
The Rams have lost 14
straight NFL regular
season football games,
are 0-4 in 2009, and
have outscored 108-24.
The Rams are dead last
by a mile in scoring and
have been shutout twice
in the season, for the
first time since 1942.
Tomorrow you will
probably hear the same
softball questions and
answers between the St.
Louis Rams and the
media, so I will bring
you the truth. The Rams
themselves have posted
and sent out a Twitter
that says "A tightly
contested first half got
away from the Rams in
the second as San
Francisco surged to a
35-0 win on Sunday".
Sure it was only 7-0 at
halftime but did anyone
think the Rams were
going to score with a
group of receivers that
included Avery, Burton,
Amendola and Martin?
This team is total void
of talent. Bernie
Miklasz said "The Rams
are the worst
non-expansion year NFL
team I've ever seen".
We thought the enema
started when Jay Zygmunt
was replaced by Billy
Devaney. However as we
look at the current
roster and the roster
from the start of the
2008 season, it is clear
this team does not have
more talent than it had
previously. It is also
too early to grade the
2008 and 2009 drafts but
we certainly will not be
seeing many of these
guys on Sunday for years
to come. Steve Spagnuolo
gets a pass for now, as
we all know you can't
polish a turd.
I am really too mad to
even discuss the game or
the awful announcing
from the Emmy award
couple of Ron Pitts and
John Lynch. For those of
you die hard Rams fans
that could stomach the
entire game you already
know the Rams were
shutout 35-0. The Rams
have now started three
straight season with an
0-4 record. As I
predicted today's game
would be as painful as
watching the previous
Redskins game or an
enema, see how I did
that. The Rams managed
just 10 first downs,
half in the 4th quarter,
and only 177 total
yards. The 49ers easily
bottled up Steven
Jackson and the running
game, harassed Kyle
Boller and the woeful
passing game, and
basically embarrassed
the Rams.
The details of the game
can be summed up on two
plays: The Rams received
the opening kickoff,
Danny Amendola broke
into the open and
returned the kick to the
49ers 4 yard line. Of
course Anthony Smith was
called for holding.
Anthony Smith is a
backup safety the Rams
picked up off waivers
back on September 6th.
The ball was placed on
the Rams 22 yard line,
were they promptly went
3-and-out and punted the
ball to the 49ers. The
second play happened
with 5:40 left in the
first half with the
score tied 0-0. A short
punt from Lee bounded
down the field, while
throwing a block Quincy
Butler kicked the ball
into the Rams End Zone.
Butler quickly got to
the ball but tried to
pick it up and run with
it. This turned out to
be a bad decision as he
dropped the ball on the
ground and Scott
McKillop recovered for a
49ers TD. We have seen
the rest before. Game
Over.
St. Louis Rams Season
Preview
Offense - Change
is the word for the Rams
offense. New head coach
Steve Spagnuolo is
defensive minded. The
Rams also brought in Pat
Shurmur who runs a West
Coast offense, so expect
a lot of quick dink and
dunk passes from Marc
Bulger, and a heavy dose
of Steven Jackson. I
expect Jackson to get 25
touches every week,
hopefully he can take
the punishment. The Rams
Will go with Samkon Gado
and Kenneth Darby to
back up Jackson. At
receiver Torry Holt is
gone and Donnie Avery is
the #1. Avery has more
receptions (53) in the
NFL than any other
receiver on the Rams
roster. Their lack of
experience is sure to
show. Expect every team
to key on Jackson and
put 8 in the box. The
Rams did draft OT Jason
Smith from Baylor and
picked up massive Center
Jason Brown as a free
agent to help restore
the offensive line. The
biggest question will be
the leadership and
ability for Marc Bulger
to make positive plays
and stay away from
turnovers and sacks.
Defense - The
Rams have been in the
bottom 5 in points
allowed the previous
four years! It is hard
to win many games that
way. Steve Spagnuolo is
going to look to build
the defense around
youngsters Chris Long
and James Laurinaitis.
The Rams must have a
much better defense
against the rush and
generate a much better
pass rush. The Rams are
very young at defensive
tackle, in addition Adam
Carriker is out for the
year with an injury.
Spagnuolo has chosen to
go very young with the
roster. The Rams have
chosen to release Tye
Hill and Chris Draft and
will start Jonathan Wade
and David Vabora. The
cornerbacks are super
inexperienced with Ron
Bartell leading the
group with only four
years of service. The
lack of quality depth at
cornerback will show
against teams like Green
Bay, Indy, and Arizona.
Special Teams -
It does not get any
better than Josh Brown
and Donnie Jones. Some
of the Rams best drives
will be to play it safe
get a few yards and let
Donnie boot it 50 yards
down field to help out
the defense. The kick
returns will be handled
by Derek Stanley and
Kenneth Darby, not much
of a threat. With the
new rule of only two
players allowed on the
kickoff wedge I am not
expecting much on
kickoff returns. We need
the Rams to improve on
kick coverage as well.
Players like
Chamberlain, Vobara and
Culberson will be
expected to make a lot
of tackles.
Schedule - After
starting the last 2
years 0-4 and 0-8 I am
very worried about the
Rams first 7 games on
this years schedule.
There is a good chance
the Rams will get off to
a slow start again. The
Rams will play four 2008
playoff teams in 2009.
The records of the Rams
2009 opponents were
119-137 in 2008. That is
a winning percentage of
only .464. The Rams have
very hard games against
the Tennessee Titans and
Indianapolis Colts in
09. If you throw out
those two games Rams
opponents were 94-130
for a .419 winning
percentage. The Rams
play in the worst
division in football and
need to find a way to
start winning division
games again.
Our Thoughts -
The offense will have a
very hard time moving
the ball and putting up
points. They have the
least experienced group
of receivers in the NFL.
They have a QB that has
had two awful years in a
row, and comes into the
season with a broken
pinkie. Marc needs to
stand in the pocket and
make good decisions.
Steven Jackson will have
every defense focused on
stopping him. The
defense is very young
and I can't believe they
are going into the
season with this group
of 5 cornerbacks. I
expect them to get burnt
early and often at the
beginning of the season.
James Laurinaitis is a
great anchor to build
around. I believe you
will see the Rams
manufacture a better
pass rush with more
blitzing and they will
also swarm to the ball
in an attempt to create
a lot of turnovers.
Overall the squad is in
rebuilding mode and is
just too young and
inexperienced to expect
much this year. The lack
of star power and depth
will hurt the Rams as
well. The bottom line is
going into a season with
an offensive line that
has never played a game
together is just not
good in the NFL. They
have turned the corner
with a new front office
and head coach but they
are still a few players
away.
Prediction - (3 -
13) Early season
schedule is way to hard
