Prior to Week 7, the Rams made a
move to upgrade their receiver corps
as they sent an undisclosed draft pick
to the Denver Broncos in exchange for
WR Brandon Lloyd.
The move has paid immediate divi-
dends. Lloyd caught six passes for 74
yards in his St. Louis debut against
Dallas, and hes totaled 42 receptions
for 554 yards and four touchdowns
since joining the Rams.
A nine-year veteran, Lloyd is reunited

While playing in McDaniels offense, Lloyd posted career high
receptions (77), receiving yards (1,448) and touchdown catches (

S Quintin Mikell, who signed with theRams as a free agent this summer,has provided an immediate impact onSt. Louis defense. The nine-year vet-eran has been a part of five takeawaysthis season.
Mikell is second among Rams with 87tackles this season, including a team-high nine last week. He trails onlyJames Laurinaitis in tackles. Mikell
also has one sack, two interceptionsand four forced fumbles.
His interception in Week 10 led to aRams touchdown against Seattle.
Mikell, who spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Eagles,boasts career totals of 5.0 sacks and 12 interceptions. Rams HeadCoach Steve Spagnuolo was Mikells position coach during Mikellsfirst NFL season and in all, the two spent four seasons together inPhiladelphia.
WELCOME ABOARD
S Quintin Mikell celebrates an inter-ception with his teammates.
If you want to find Rams MLB James Laurinaitis on the football fione can often simply follow the ball because the third-year pro seeto always be around it. Laurinaitis is again the Rams leader in tacas hes racked up 118 through 14 games, including seven last we
Laurinaitis has proven to be a valuable defender against both theand the pass. Three weeks ago, Laurinaitis recorded his third sacthe season. He also has two interceptions and is second among Rawith eight passes defensed on the year.
Last year, Laurinaitis had seven passes defensed, one intercep
and 3.0 sacks. Among Rams, only starting cornerbacks Ron Ba(13) and Bradley Fletcher (12) had more pass breakups.
Laurinaitis rarely comes off the field, and hes played in a team-h981 snaps this season.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Linebacker James Laurinaitis once again finds himself atop the Rams list of leading tacklers.
WR Austin Pettis, the Rams third-round pick in Aprils draft, cau
four passes last week against the Bengals to give him 27 recept
for 256 yards this season. Three of his four receptions last week w
for first downs.
When Pettis arrived in St. Louis, he was given jersey number 83. E
in the season, Pettis switched to 18 in order to honor a family m
ber who was also a professional athlete in St. Louis. Del Rice, Pegrandfather, wore 18 when he played catcher for the St. Louis base
Cardinals (1945-55, 60). Pettis uncle Gary Pettis also enjoyed a
major league career with the Angels, Tigers and Rangers.
MOVING THE CHAIN S
WR Austin Pettis hauls in a pass from QB Sam Bradford in Week 4 against Washington.
WR/PR Nick Miller was preparing to spendThanksgiving with his family in Arizona lastmonth when he got a call to head to St.
Louis to join the Rams, and Miller made abig impact just a few days later in his Ramsdebut.
In the first quarter of the Rams Week 12game against the Cardinals, Miller returneda punt 88 yards for a touchdown. The scorewas Millers first of his career and is tiedfor the third-longest punt return in Ramshistory. It was the first punt returned for atouchdown by a Ram since Dante Hall didso in 2007.
Miller, who spent parts of three seasons with the Oakland Raiders,was on the Rams roster for two weeks earlier this season but didnt
appear in a game with St. Louis until Week 12.

WR/PR Nick Miller
The Rams used the 14th overall pick in last
years draft on a young pass rusher who theyhoped would help them get after the quarter-back, and DE Robert Quinn has shown whyhe was highly coveted in April.
On the season, Quinn has 5.0 sacks and istied with Chris Long for the team lead with 13quarterback hits. Quinn logged his first careerstart last week and notched a pass defensedwhen he raced into the backfield and swattedaway an Andy Dalton pass attempt.
In addition to his role on defense, Quinn has been an asset forSpecial Teams Coordinator Tom McMahon. Last week, he partiallyblocked a punt, which was the third time this season hes either
blocked or partially blocked a punt. In Week 8, Quinn blocked a puntthat led to a Rams touchdown and sacked Drew Brees. Quinn wasnamed NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts againstthe Saints.
Quinn is tied with Sean Gilbert (5.0 in 1992) for the third most sacksby a rookie in Rams history. Quinn has a chance to make a runat Deacon Jones franchise rookie record of 8.0, although Jonesaccomplishment came in 1961 before sacks were an official record.Kevin Carter (6.0 in 1995) ranks second in the category.

In his 12th NFL season, DE James Hall continues to be a rock for
the Rams defense. Hes tied for second among Rams with 5.0
sacks this season, and he has 46 tackles, including three for loss,
and 11 quarterback hits on the year. In Week 11, he blocked a
potential game-winning field goal to help the Rams pull out a victory
in Cleveland.
In 2010, Hall led St. Louis with 10.5 sacks on the year and also
recorded 57 tackles, including two for loss. Hall also led the Rams
and tied for second in the NFL with six forced fumbles last season.
Hall now has 62.0 career sacks. Among active players, Hall ranks
16th in career sacks. His 10.5 sacks last year was his second-highest
single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). He finished last sea-
son ranked ninth in the NFC in sacks.
A HAL L OF A PLAYER
DE James Hall had 10.5 sacks in 2010, which was his second-best season total of his 11-yearcareer. He has 5.0 this season and leads all Rams defensive linemen in tackles.
Rams DT Fred Robbins was one of the more unheralded signings of
the 2010 free agency period, but his impact has certainly been felt in
the middle of the St. Louis defense.
Robbins had two tackles last week, including one for loss. On the
season, Robbins is tied for second among Rams with four tackles for
loss and he has 23 total stops.
Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New York
Giants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo was the
Giants defensive coordinator. Its no coincidence that those two
campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins career as he tied his
previous career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and was
a Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New Yorks run
to their Super Bowl XLII championship.
ROCKIN ROBBINS
Rams DT Fred Robbins drops Seattle RB Justin Forsett for a loss. After joining St. Louis as a freeagent last spring, Robbins made a big impact on a much-improved Rams defense in 2010.
