NFL teams often set a goal of
holding their opponents to 17
points or less each week, and
the Rams have done just that in
each of their first three home
games this season.
Overall, St. Louis ranks 11th in
the NFL in scoring defense as
theyve given up an average of
just 19.2 points per game on theseason. The Rams narrowly
missed cracking the top 10 this
week as they trail Tennessee by
just 0.2 points per game in
league rankings.
When the Rams gave up a field
goal to the Lions on Detroits
opening drive of the game last
week, it marked the first time all season St. Louis has allowed a f
quarter score. The three points allowed in the first quarter this yea
tied for the second-fewest in the NFL. The New York Jets lead
way with zero first-quarter points allowed, while the Green
Packers have also given up just a field goal like the Rams.
In the Rams three home games this season, opponents have a
aged just 12 points per game, which is tied for the fourth-best ho
total in the NFL this season.
KEEPING SCOREThrough five weeks, the Rams have been
one of the NFLs best defenses on third
downs. Opponents have converted just
33.8 percent of their third downs against St.
Louis, which ranks the Rams eighth in the
NFL in the category.
The Rams third-down success has been
crucial during the teams current two-game
home winning streak. Two weeks ago,
Seattle converted just 4-of-15 on third down
(27%) and was 0-for-6 in the second half.
Steve Spagnuolos defense held
Washington to 1-for-10 (10%) on third-down conversions in Week 3,
the lowest conversion rate by a Rams opponent since the Rams held
the Steelers to 1-for-10 (10%) at Pittsburgh (10/26/03).

THIRD-DOWN POUND
CB Ron Bartell
Steve Spagnuolos attacking defense
has seen a dramatic increase in forced
turnovers this season. Through five
games, the Rams have forced 10
turnovers. A year ago, they totaled 20
in 16 games.
Prior to last weeks game in Detroit, theRams had forced at least two take-
aways in each of their first four games.
St. Louis has four interceptions and six
fumble recoveries on the season, which
puts them halfway to their 2009 inter-
ception total as well.
TAKE IT AWAY
S James Butler secures an interception
at Oakland for one of the Rams eight
takeaways on the season.
The Rams defense has stood its ground when it counts this sea
as evidenced by their defensive statistics in the red zone.
When Detroit settled for a field goal on its opening drive last Sun
it marked six-consecutive red zone visits by St. Louis opponent
which the Rams kept the opposing offense out of the end zone.
That streak came to an end later in the game, but the Rams rec
in the red zone remains impressive. St. Louis is tied for third in
NFL in red zone defense on the year. Opponents have scored tou
downs on just 33.3 percent of their drives inside the St. Louis 20-y
line. Only Tennessee (26 percent) and Cleveland (28.6) have b
better defensively in the red zone than the Rams, and Baltimor
tied with St. Louis in red zone efficiency.
In all, the Rams have given up just 59 points on 15 possessions
their opponents inside their 20.
RED LIGHT IN THE RED ZONE
S Oshiomogho Atogwe and LB Larry Grant lead a charge to stop Darren McFadden at the goal
line. The Rams are among the leagues best in red zone defense this season.
One of the reasons the
Rams have been so suc-
cessful getting off the field
on third down is their oppor-tunistic pass defense.
Opponents are completing
just 56.9 percent of their
passes against the Rams,
which is the eighth-lowest
total in the NFL. The Rams
Week 6 opponent, San
Diego, ranks sixth.
The New York Jets lead the way at 51.1 percent, followed by the
Giants (54.7), Eagles (54.9), Chiefs (55.8), Tampa Bay (55.8), San
Diego (56.4), Baltimore (56.8) and St. Louis (56.9).

One of the biggest moves the Rams made this offseason was theacquisition of veteran DT Fred Robbins, and the addition of the 11thyear pro has paid early dividents.
Robbins had two tackles, including one for loss, last week at Detroit.Two weeks ago, he recovered a fumble and had two stops in a winover the Seahawks. In his Rams debut, Robbins recorded three tack-les, one tackle for loss and a sack. He also made an impact in Week2 at Oakland as he dropped RB Darren McFadden for a 3-yard loss
on a third-and-1 play that forced the Raiders to attempt a long fieldgoal, which they missed.
On the season, Robbins has 11 total tackles, including three for loss,three quarterback hits, a sack and two passes defensed.
Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YorkGiants. During two of those seasons, current Rams Head CoachSteve Spagnuolo was the Giants defensive coordinator. Its no coin-cidence that those two campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbinscareer as he tied his career high with 5.5 sacks in each of those sea-sons and was a Pro Bowl Alternate in 2008. He played a key role inNew Yorks run to their Super Bowl XLII championship.

bit of an anomaly
at the linebacker
p os i t io n . S t .
Louis currently
has three line-
backers on its ros-
ter that played at

ing linebacker unit.
James Laurinaitis, who led the Rams in
tackles as a rookie last season, mans the
middle. The Rams signed veteran Nail
Diggs as a free agent this spring and he
starts at the Sam linebacker spot. Diggs
spent the previous four years with the
Carolina Panther. A third former Buckeye,
Larry Grant, won the starting Will spot this
summer. Grant appeared in all 16 games
for the Rams last season and is a valuable
special teams contributor in addition to his
role on defense.
