Rams QB Sam Bradford set a new single-game career high last

week as he passed for 331 yards against the New York Giants. He

completed 22-of-46 throws with one touchdown and no intercep-

tions in his Monday Night Football debut.

The performance was Bradford’s second 300-yard game of his

career. His first came in Week 12 of 2010 when he threw for 308

yards in a St. Louis win over the Denver Broncos.

This week, Bradford’s Rams square off against the Baltimore

SLINGIN’ SAM BRADFORD

QB Sam Bradford’s numbers during his rookie season compare favorably with other quarterbacks chosen in the first round in recent years, including those of his Baltimore counterpart this week.

During his standout rookie season, Rams

QB Sam Bradford saw his name attached

to numerous NFL rookie records.

While proud of his statistical accomplish-

ments, Bradford has always maintained

that the win-loss column is really the only

item he’s interested in tracking.

That being the case, Bradford did make

an impact in his favorite statistic. His

seven wins are the most by a rookie

quarterback drafted number one overall

since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.

Bradford took over a team that went 1-15 in 2009 and led the Rams

to a 7-9 record.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER



Steve Spagnuolo’s swarming defenseis predicated on takeaways and pres-sure, and the Rams have becomeadept at forcing turnovers.

Last week against the Giants, SQuintin Mikell ended New York’sopening drive when he intercepted EliManning. In Week 1 vs. Philadelphia,the Rams ended an Eagles drivewhen Mikell sacked Michael Vick and

forced a fumble, which LB JamesLaurinaitis recovered.

Mikell’s interception last week markedthe eighth-consecutive game in whichSt. Louis has recorded at least one takeaway, tied for the fifth longestactive streak among NFL teams.

Last season, the Rams’ second under Spagnuolo, St. Louis finishedthe year with 26 takeaways, which was six more than the Rams hadin 2009.

The Rams were one of the best teams in the NFL when it camgetting after the quarterback in 2010, and they’re off to a good sin 2011 as well.

St. Louis has recorded three sacks in each of its first two games season, and the team’s total of six is tied for sixth best in the NDE Chris Long leads the way with 2.0 sacks. Long finished secamong Rams in the category last season with 8.5, while James Hwho recorded dropped Eli Manning Monday night for his first sthis season, paced the team with 10.5.

In 2010, the Rams recorded 43 sacks on the season as a tewhich ranked seventh in the NFL. St. Louis saw a dramatic improment when it came to reaching the opposing quarterback. In 20the club ranked 30th in the NFL with 25 sacks. No team in NFL experienced a bigger increase in sacks last season than Rams’ 18.

SACK ATTACK

DE Chris Long closes in on Eli Manning for one of the Rams’ three sacks last week. The Ramshave six sacks as a team through three games this season, tied for sixth most in the NFL.

S Quintin Mikell, who signed with theRams as a free agent this summer,has provided an immediate impact onSt. Louis’ defense.

The nine-year veteran has provideda takeaway in each of his first twogames in St. Louis. In his Rams debut,

Mikell sacked Eagles QB Michael Vickand forced a fumble, which was recov-ered by LB James Laurinaitis.

Last week in New York, Mikell endedthe Giants’ opening drive of the gamewhen he intercepted Eli Manning deepin New York territory.

Mikell, who spent his first eight NFLseasons with the Eagles, boasts career totals of 5.0 sacks andinterceptions. Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo was Mikell’s ption coach during Mikell’s first NFL season and in all, the two spfour seasons together in Philadelphia.

WELCOME ABOARD

S Quintin Mikell celebrates an interception with LB Ben Leber.

The Rams’ ability to get off

the field on third down defen-

sively was a crucial part of

their success in 2010, and

St. Louis was clutch on third

down last week in New York.

The Giants converted just

5-of-15 third downs and were

just 1-of-7 in the first half.

St. Louis finished the 2010season ranked second in the

NFL on third down as oppo-

nents converted just 33.5 percent against the Rams.

GET OFF THE FIELD!

DE James Hall, CB Bradley Fletcher and LB Chris Chamberlain stop Ahmad Bradshaw on third down during last week’s game in New York.



LB James Laurinaitis led all NFL rookie linebackers in tackles in 2009,

and he followed up his stellar rookie campaign with a strong perfor-

mance in his sophomore NFL season. Laurinaitis led St. Louis with

129 stops last season and became the first Ram since Pisa Tinoisoma

to record 100 tackles in each of his first two seasons.

Laurinaitis rarely comes off the field, and he played in a team-high

1,093 snaps in 2010. His ability to help in the passing game as well as

the run is a huge asset for the Rams. The former Ohio State Buckeye

had seven passes defensed, one interception and three sacks on the

year. Among Rams, only starting cornerbacks Ron Bartell (13) and

Bradley Fletcher (12) had more pass breakups.

Last week against the Giants, Laurinaitis had a team-best 14 tackles.

In Week 1, he had six tackles, two passes defensed and recovered a

fumble after S Quintin Mikell knocked the ball away from Michael Vick.

MAN IN THE MIDDLE

Linebacker James Laurinaitis enjoyed another productive season as he led the Rams in tackles and made numerous plays in the passing game while rarely leaving the field.

DE James Hall recorded his first sack of the season last week when

he dropped Eli Manning, and in his 12th NFL season, Hall continues

to be a rock for the Rams’ defense.

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 58.0 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 season 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-year career. He’s seen here sacking Matt Cassel during a preseason game in August.

DE Chris Long is off to a hot sta2011 as he’s picking up from whhe left off a year ago.

Long has picked up a sack in eof the Rams’ first two games to him 2.0 on the season. He’s recorded at least one sack in 9his last 13 games. Monday marthe seventh time Long has recora sack in back-to-back weeks du

his four-year career.

According to StatsPass.com, Lwas credited with 36 combined qterback hits and knockdowns season, which tied with SeahaDE Chris Clemons for the ninth m

in the NFL last season.

In Week 6 against San Diego, Long turned in his first two-sack pemance of the season and second of his career. For his efforts, Lwas named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

LONG ON TALENT

The Rams’ opening day roster featured nine veteran free agents, they can only hope they’ll make the impact that DT Fred Robbinsas a new addition last year.

Robbins, who had a tackle for loss last week against the Giants,a new career high with 6.0 sacks in 2010 and had a big impacthe Rams defense. He held off blockers to allow James Laurinaitrun free, and his pass rush acumen drew the attention of opposoffenses and helped his defensive line mates.

Among NFC defensive tackles, only Ndamukong Suh (10) and CuJenkins (7) had more sacks last season than Robbins’ 6. SaintsSedrick Ellis also had 6.

On the season, Robbins had 24 total tackles, including four for leight quarterback hits and seven passes defensed. He was areason why the Rams saw a big improvement against the run on third down.

Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YGiants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo wasGiants’ defensive coordinator. It’s no coincidence that those campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins’ career as he tiedprevious career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and a Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New York’sto their Super Bowl XLII championship.

Rams DT Fred Robbins drops Seattle RB Justin Forsett for a loss. After joining St. Louis as a freagent last spring, Robbins made a big impact on a much-improved Rams defense in 2010.



Rams P Donnie Jones boasts one of the

strongest legs in the NFL, and his deep,

high kicks have been a weapon for St.

Louis in his five seasons with the club.

Jones was named an alternate to the Pro

Bowl after another strong season in 2010.

He finished eighth in the NFL and fourth in

the NFC with a gross punting average of

45.5 yards per kick. He also ranked third

in the NFL and second in the NFC in netpunting average (40.0).

Jones’ specialty is pinning opponents deep

in their own territory. He tied for fifth in the NFL with 32 punts in

the opponents’ 20-yard line last season.

The Rams signed Jones as a restricted free agent prior to the 2

season, and during his time in St. Louis, Jones ranks third am

K Josh Brown is among the NFL’s best

when it comes to kicking from long dis-

tance.

Brown hit six field goals of 50-plus yards in

2008 and 2009, tying the team record for

most field goals from 50-plus in a season.

His 2008 and ‘09 seasons are tied with

Tony Zendejas for most 50-yard field goals

in a season in team history.

In last week’s opener against Philadelphia,

Brown hit a 49-yard kick and was 2-for-3

on field goals on the day. He added three field goals last week to give

him five on the season, tied for the most in the NFL.

Brown now ranks sixth in NFL history in successful field goal tries

from 50 yards or more. Of the five players who rank ahead of Brown

- Jason Hanson (46), John Kasay (41), Morten Andersen (40), Jason

Elam (39) and Sebastian Janikowski (30) - all but Janikowski played

at least eight more seasons than Brown. Janikowski entered the

NFL three seasons before Brown.

Since entering the NFL in 2003, Brown has made 28 field goals from50-plus yards, most among kickers during that time. His 68.3 per-

centage on field goals of 50 yards or more is second best since ‘03.

In 2009, CB Bradley Fletcher’s rookie

season was off to a bang before a torn

ACL and LCL ended it seven games in.

After an exhaustive offseason of rehab,

Fletcher bounced back and earned the

starting right cornerback job in 2010.

Fletcher led the Rams with four intercep-

tions, finished third on the club in tackles

(91) and second in passes defensed (12).

He got off to a strong start in 2011 as well.

In Week 1 against Philadelphia, Fletcher

recorded six tackles and two quarterback hits, including one that

helped DE Chris Long tally his first sack of the season.

Fletcher’s road back wasn’t an easy one. He underwent an operation

to reconstruct his LCL. After rehabbing from his first surgery, he again

went under the knife, this time to repair and reconstruct his ACL.

Still, Fletcher made it back to the field for the start of 2010 training

camp and was a huge asset to the Rams. For his efforts, Fletcher’s

teammates named him the club’s Ed Block Courage Award winner.

Brown, who this week will face the

team that drafted him in 2005, hasn’t missed a start since entering

the Ravens’ starting lineup in 2006, his second NFL season.

During his career, Brown has blocked for three different 1,000-yard

Williams signed with the Rams as afree agent in August to backup StevenJackson. In the team’s 2011 opener,Jackson suffered a quad injury in thefirst quarter, and Williams was smoothin deed while playing in place of thethree-time Pro Bowler.

Williams rushed for 91 yards on 19 carries and caught 5 passes for59 yards against the Eagles.

Rams have pieces in place to build consistent winner

By Pete Prisco

Sitting at his desk eating a chicken sandwich in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, a NASCAR race on the TV in the background, St. LouisRams general manager Billy Devaney looks more prepared to use that surfboard leaning against the wall in his office than he is to diveinto running a football team.

But despite the laid-back, California way about him, Devaney is serious when it comes to football and especially building the Rams intocontender -- not only in their division, but in the league.

"We're getting better," Devaney said. "We know we've made progress. But there's a lot to do."

In 2009, the Rams were 1-15, the joke of the league, and Devaney was in his first year in charge of turning the Rams around.

"I wouldn't wish that on anybody," Devaney said.

Here were are two years later and the Rams are considered one of the rising teams in the NFL. Under Devaney's watch, and with coachSteve Spagnoulo ably assisting, the Rams are being built for the long run.

We have had countless teams that have popped up over the years to have good seasons, but then fade away. They don't have stayingpower. If you notice, the really good teams have staying power. They are not the aberration-season teams.

The Colts, Patriots, Steelers have all had staying power. The Rams are working to get that.

If you study the structure of those good organizations, there are five reasons they have had that sustainable success. They are:

• Good general manager

• Sharp coach

• Franchise quarterback

• Good veterans for guidance

• A key group of young, core players

The Rams look to have the same makeup. It's far too early to think that the Rams are back to the glory days of The Greatest Show onTurf, but after going 7-9 last season and pushing for a division title, the needle is pointing up.

"Teams still look at us as the 1-15 Rams of two years ago," veteran running back Steven Jackson.

That would be a mistake. They might not be ready for a Super push this year, but starting in 2012 and beyond they will be in the mix forthe Lombardi Trophy.

They have Devaney and Spagnuolo, two sharp men, even if they are opposites in terms of demeanor, running things. They have thefranchise passer in Sam Bradford, the veteran leader in Jackson and a nice group of young core players.

Here's a look at each of the Rams five important components in building a sustainable championship contender.

• • •

The laid-back general manager

Can you believe that a guy from New Jersey is actually laid-back?



Devaney was born and raised in the Garden State -- his family is still die-hard Giants fans -- but on his way to running his own team,including stops with five NFL teams, and various jobs that included being a baggage handler, Devaney has morphed into this beach-bumpersona.



That comes from his days working with Bobby Beathard, the surfer-GM, when they were in San Diego.

"I'm more of a don't-worry-about-it guy," Devaney said. "I took a lot of that from Bobby."

Beathard was considered a sharp draft man when he was in the league. And so far in his three years running the Rams draft, Devaney hadone a heck of a job. He landed Bradford with the first pick in 2010, and he landed five starters in the first three rounds of his first twodrafts in 2009 and 2010. One of those, right tackle Jason Smith, was the second player taken in the 2009 draft and hasn't quite lived up toexpectations yet, but he is starting.

Building through the draft is the Devaney way.

"We knew we had two years to start showing things were turning around or we weren't going to be around," Devaney said. "We had toshow improvement in Year Two. What that was going to be, we didn't know. Was it four wins at the end of the year? Whatever it was, ithad to be better. We were hoping for the turnaround in Year Three, but now we're just trying to build on what we did."

Devaney's first duty was hiring a coach. So he reached out to another East Coast guy in Spagnuolo, who is the exact opposite of Devane

"He's a live-wire," Devaney said. "But our personalities mesh well."

Devaney makes the football decisions, but he consults with Spagnuolo on most of them.

"Hopefully, it works for a long time," Devaney said.

"He's firm in what he wants and what we want," Spagnuolo said. "It's been a nice transition. Hopefully in Year Three we'll show that onthe field from a personnel and coaching standpoint."

• • •

The mile-a-minute head coach

Spagnuolo is like one of those wind-up toys. You pull the string, stand back, and let it go.

If ever there were a coaching candidate for a study on Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, Spagnuolo would be it. He's even joked about it

That's because his mind always seems to be racing. When I interviewed him in his office, he was distracted by an injury suffered bynickel corner Jerome Murphy earlier in practice.

"Sorry," he said. "I just keep thinking about the kid."

The kid suffered a broken ankle. You could see the hurt on Spagnuolo's face as he talked about it. He cares.

A Spagnuolo conversation has more detours than I-10 during construction. One minute it's football. The next it's about his wedding at th

Vatican. Then baseball. Then back to football.

All the while, he is friendly and welcoming.

That's why his players like him. He can be tough and demanding, but they also know he cares.

"He's a tough, old-fashioned coach, but at the same time he has a feel with the players," Devaney said. "He has a great reputation. It'sreally neat in free agency when you hear from guys on other teams that they really want to play for Spags."

Said Jackson: "Guys respect him. He understands what it takes to be an NFL player."

Spagnuolo came to the Rams after serving as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. He also served on the staff of Andy Reiin Philadelphia. So his style meshes that of both Tom Coughlin and Reid.



He is actively involved with the defense, but leaves the offense to new coordinator Josh McDaniels.



"I still think you win with good quarterback play and good defense," Spagnuolo said.

Spagnuolo still has the Boston accent from his youth, so when he yells at players there's no denying where he was born.

In two years, the Rams have improved by six victories. That has them wanting more. Spagnuolo had a sign put on the wall in the lockerroom to remind his players what it takes go get it.

It reads: Make Excellence a habit.

"I don't think we'll make the next jump if we don't have enough guys who strive for competitive greatness in all they do," Spagnuolo sai"It's something we talk about. It's just talk. Now guys have to go out and do it."

• • •

The confident and competitive franchise QB

When Spagnuolo was looking to hire a new offensive coordinator after the departure of Pat Shurmur to the Cleveland Browns, he had aconversation with Bradford.

"If I were to hire a coordinator with a different offensive system, what would you think about it?" Spagnuolo asked him.

"I learned last year's offense in one year," Bradford said. "It won't be a problem."

That's Bradford, always up for a challenge.

"He wasn't even fazed by it," Spagnuolo said.

Devaney wanted Bradford the minute he saw him throwing at Oklahoma. He knew Bradford could be the guy to turn the franchisearound. After the 1-15 season, giving the Rams the first pick in the 2010 draft, there was little doubt that the quarterback-obsessed

Devaney would get his man.

"There seems to be so many great ones now," Devaney said. "You need a great one. In years gone by, you could have a solid quarterbacand win a lot of games. It seems now unless you have a truly great one, you are at a big disadvantage now. Getting Sam was huge for us

As a rookie, Bradford struggled some, but finished with solid numbers. His passion for the game was something his teammates noticedright away.

"He takes his job serious," Jackson said. "He's one of the first guys in the building and he's always here on Tuesday, our day off. He'smade great strides this year in being more of a leader, not feeling like he has to prove something to the guys. We saw what he did as arookie. We believe in his ability and where he can take this team."

Bradford's competitive drive is second to none on the team. Teammates marvel at how he enjoys being challenged, in anything, anywher

by anybody.

"That spreads throughout the locker room," receiver Danny Amendola said.

Bradford loves the new offense under former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels. It will push the ball down the field more, which should plato his strengths more. He's also more in command of the offense.

"When I stepped into the huddle, I was the one talking," Bradford said. "Now I'm more comfortable in the huddle, so if I feel like I mighneed to say something to a guy about an alignment on a play or say something about a route, I have no problem doing that this year. Lasyear, I was figuring out what I was going to do most of the time."

Looking into the offensive huddle and seeing a guy like Bradford to build around is the most comforting thing for Devaney andSpagnuolo.





"It's a good feeling," Spagnuolo said. "But it can't be just on that guy."

"Having a quarterback like that to build around is a pretty big piece," Devaney said. "Even he knows that."

• • •

The veteran leader

Jackson has been through a lot of tough times in St. Louis. All the while, he has put up big rushing numbers with little fanfare.

He is the hidden superstar.

"I believe at the end of the day, when everyone is retired, you don't focus on the scoreboard, you focus on performance on plays day inand out," Jackson said. "I built my legacy around here on being a tough, hard-nosed player. It's unfortunate the majority of the carrieshave come on bad teams. But that doesn't make who you are."

Now entering his eighth season, Jackson has played on teams that have gone 35-77. He's never been on one with a winning record and hplayed on teams that went 2-14, 3-13 and 1-15. But, even with little help at times on offense, Jackson has rushed for more than 1,000yards in each of the past six seasons. He is still a vital part of what the Rams do.

"I've used the Reggie Jackson line before, but Steven is the straw that stirs the drink," Devaney said "He's been through a lot of toughtimes, but he's the consummate pro. He helps people. He's a great teammate. They respect him. It's great that all the crude he's beenthough and he can still carry himself the way he does."

Said Spagnuolo: "He loves it. He's like a warrior."

Jackson's per-rush average was 3.8 yards last season, the first time in his career where it has been less than 4.0. That has led to some talkthat he's slowing down at age 28. The reality is the interior of the line wasn't very good. They didn't get much push, which hurt thenumbers. The passing game also didn't stretch the field, which meant a lot of eight-man fronts.

Jackson wouldn't throw teammates under the bus when asked about his drop in production.

"It is what it is," Jackson said. "I know I can still play."

• • •

Core players

If you look at any of the recent Super Bowl champions, including the Packers last season, the rosters are dotted with good, young,building-block players.

These might not be the stars, but they are vital to the success of building to win a title.

The strategy is simple: Draft them. Play them early. Go through growing pains and then watch them blossom in the third, fourth and fifthseasons.

The Rams have several of those kinds of players who are essential if they are to build something special.

There are middle linebacker James Laurinaitis, defensive end Chris Long, cornerback Bradley Fletcher and left tackle Rodger Saffold.

All four are 26 or younger. All four will be counted on for big things in 2011.

"Look at the two teams in the Super Bowl," Devaney said. "That's the way you want to build your team. They had a sprinkling of freeagents, but most of their kids are from the organization. They draft well, earmark the guys they want to keep around, and then win withthem. We want to copycat those guys."



When Long arrived as the second player drafted overall in 2008, he came with big expectations. It took time, but he had his best season i2010. Now he, and the team, appear ready for more.



"I had this misconception coming out that all NFL teams are equal in terms of talent," Long said. "I found out that wasn't the case. We hsome holes in some areas that needed to be worked on. I think Coach Spags and Billy Devaney have done an awesome job of bringing in

all kinds of players and the right kind of players."

• • •

So now the pieces seem to be in place. Now comes the hard part for the Rams, taking a step forward.

"We learned a lot about what it takes to win in this league," Jackson said. "We blew some games in the fourth quarter that will help us thyear. Now we know what to expect. We can build on it."

Jackson was asked what it would be like to be on a winner, a playoff winner, a Super Bowl winner.

"It would take some time getting used to," he said.

He might want to get ready. The Rams should be competitive for the next 5-7 years -- thanks to having the key components in building asuccessful team.

Why Rams D will dominate in 2011

By Kerry J. Byrne

Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo rose to fame as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants -- specifically behind the awesomeperformance of a defensive front that battered Tom Brady in Super Bowl XLII and stifled New England's record-setting offense.

Those giant-slaying Giants of 2007 were not particularly great in any area, except one: with Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and JustinTuck, they fielded the best defensive front in football, No. 1 on the groundbreaking Defensive Hog Index we use atColdHardFootballFacts.com to rank each NFL front seven. That unit proved its ranking was justified by dominating New England'soffensive line in that instant-classic 17-14 Super Bowl victory.

Fast forward to today, and Spagnuolo's Rams are quickly following the same statistical blueprint that his Giants first drew up in 2007:they're building a contender around one of the most dominating defensive fronts in the game. The improvements from 2009, Spagnuolo'first year in St. Louis, to 2010 were nothing short of amazing.

The 2009 Rams went 1-15 and struggled in all aspects of the game as the worst team in football. The 2010 Rams went 7-9 and were justone win away from making the postseason. In fact, their regular-season finale loss at Seattle was a de facto playoff game -- the winnerearned the NFC West title and a spot in the tournament.

St. Louis rookie quarterback Sam Bradford earned much of the credit for the turnaround, as quarterbacks often do. And he was certainlysteady and largely unflappable hand at quarterback, especially by the standards of a first-year player. But the truth is Bradford was not adifference-maker last year. It was the St. Louis defense -- and its Defensive Hogs in particular -- that brought the dreadful Rams of 2009to the brink of the playoffs in 2010.

Our Defensive Hog Index rates each defensive front in three key areas: ability to stop the run, ability to force mistakes (sacks, INTs) inthe passing game and ability to get off the field on third down. No team in recent history rocketed up the Defensive Hog Index faster thaSpagnuolo's Rams did last year. Check out these incredible Cold, Hard Football Facts:

• The 2009 Rams ranked 30th at forcing Negative Pass Plays (6.4% of dropbacks ended in a sack or INT); The 2010 Rams ranked 9th atforcing Negative Pass Plays (9.3%)

• The 2009 Rams ranked 29th in third-down defense (43.5% success against); The 2010 Rams were 2nd in third-down defense (33.5%

success against)

• The 2009 Rams were 32nd and dead last overall on our Defensive Hog Index; The 2010 Rams were 7th overall on our Defensive HogIndex.

The only area where the Rams failed to improve dramatically was in run defense: the 2009 Rams ranked 20th in run defense (4.4 YPA);the 2010 Rams ranked 22nd in run defense (4.5 YPA). But the ability to stop the run is largely overrated. It's a passer's league, andmaking life miserable on opposing passers is the singular key to successful defense in the NFL.

The Rams were light years better pressuring the passer in 2010. The 2009 Rams forced just eight interceptions and 25 sacks; the 2010Rams forced 14 interceptions and 43 sacks -- nearly doubling the total of Negative Pass Plays in the space of a single year (33 to 57).

That pressure sparked a dramatic improvement in pass defense and, most importantly, a dramatic improvement on the scoreboard.

• The 2009 Rams ranked 31st in Defensive Passer Rating (96.9); The 2010 Rams ranked 9th in Defensive Passer Rating (80.2)

• The 2009 Rams surrendered 436 points (31st); the 2010 Rams surrendered 328 points (12th).

Defensive ends James Hall (10.5 sacks) and Chris Long (8.5) emerged last season into one of the best pass-rushing tandems in the leaguSpagnuolo's system certainly deserves some credit.




Publication: SI.com Section/# of Pages: Sports/2 of 2 Date: 6/16/11

In Hall's case, it was the second-highest sack total in his 11-year career and most since 2004; Long, who struggled in his first two years,emerged as the legit pass-rusher the Rams must have expected when they drafted him No. 2 overall in 2008 (pre-Spagnuolo). Meanwhiledefensive tackle Fred Robbins, an 11-year veteran who played for Spags in New York, also had a career year, with a personal best 6.0sacks.

Spagnuolo has proved his devotion to the position by doubling down on Defensive Hogs in his own drafts. He drafted James Laurinaitisin the second round of the 2009 draft, and the Ohio State product has started all 32 games at middle linebacker for the rapidly improvingRams defense. This year Spags grabbed talented pass rusher Robert Quinn with the No. 14 overall pick.

The Quinn pick told the football world that Spagnuolo intends to win in St. Louis much the way he won in New York -- with adominating group of Defensive Hogs. The unit he'll put on the field in 2011 has the potential to be the very best in the league.

Rams defense looking to make people take notice

BY JIM THOMAS

One of the best-kept secrets of the Rams' Super Bowl XXXIV championship run is that one out of every six touchdowns that 1999 seasowas NOT scored by the offense.

Of the 66 TDs scored during a 13-3 regular season, 11 came on returns. Eight of those 11 return TDs were scored by the defensefollowing interceptions or fumble recoveries. (The other three came on kickoff or punt returns.)

"That is amazing," Rams defensive coordinator Ken Flajole said.

As the Rams aim toward being more productive on offense this year, Flajole is trying to have that mindset spill over to his side of the linof scrimmage. The Rams didn't score a defensive TD last season, and it was the first time since the franchise moved to St. Louis in 1995that the Rams failed to score a return touchdown of any kind.

For the Rams, three or four defensive TDs could mean one or two more victories, and that could be the difference between a playoff beror sitting out the postseason for the seventh straight season.

"It can certainly be a game-breaker if you can turn a turnover into a score on defense," Flajole said. "That can really be a momentumbuilder for your whole football team."

With that in mind, Flajole and the rest of the defensive coaching staff are placing greater emphasis on making "house calls" withinterceptions and fumble recoveries.

"We've made a big deal of it," Flajole said. "Even in our pre-practice, what we call our Pride Drills, we've spent a lot of time oninterception returns. Making sure we're blocking the right guys. Making sure we get to the near sideline. We really have kind of fallenshort on getting the ball into the end zone."

Scoring TDs may be an extreme example, but there's no doubt this could be the most aggressive defense since coach Steve Spagnuolo'sarrival in 2009. The overall talent level and depth has improved on that side of the ball. Many of the core players are entering the thirdseason in the defense and are very familiar with the scheme.

Take middle linebacker James Laurinaitis, for instance. "For the most part, we're just trying to focus on being downhill, attacking,aggressive, physical," he said. "And you're trying to do those things over perfect execution all the time."

Complex scheme

Execution is important, because in the spectrum of NFL defenses, the St. Louis scheme is on the higher end in terms of complexity.Beyond any physical skills needed to succeed in the system, it's also a thinking man's defense.

"We're not vanilla by any means," Flajole said. "We ask our guys to play the chess game out there on the field, and they've done a nice joof it. I'm looking at a guy like a James Laurinaitis; I think he, in my opinion, is a very cerebral guy.

"When I say that, I think he enjoys the dissecting, diagnosing, getting us in the right call. 'What are they doing out of this formation? Hodo we adjust?' He's that type of guy. Instead of just lining up and playing."

The Rams' aggressive style helped attract several of the seven veteran defensive free agents that signed with the team in late July andearly August.

"When I was in the market, that's exactly what I was looking for," said linebacker Brady Poppinga, who signed with St. Louis after sixseasons in Green Bay. "This is like putting on a pair of comfortable shoes and going with it."

Prior to the arrival of Dom Capers as Green Bay's defensive coordinator in 2009, the Packers played more of a passive read-and-reactscheme. "It really went against my nature, and it was very difficult for me to adapt," Poppinga said.

At that time, Poppinga looked with envy at NFL defenses that had aggressive schemes. "Like the Eagles, like the Giants ... saying, 'Manwish I could some day get the opportunity to be a part of those defenses,' " he said. "And lo and behold, that wish came true. So here Iam."





McDaniels' philosophy: 'I just want to win'

BY JIM THOMAS

Josh McDaniels grew up in a football town, in a football family and the son of a football coach. And all the stories surrounding that aretrue.

By age 4 he was attending two-a-days to watch his dad's high school team. By age 10 he was scouting games with his father. He got afootball for Christmas every year, and slept with a football every night well into his teen-age years. He'd wrap the footballs in a towel tokeep them warm; it helped keep them properly inflated.

When it was story time, his grandmother pulled out the NFL Football Encyclopedia and read to him.

"I still have that book," McDaniels said. "I had asthma, so I was sick a little bit more than most kids. So my grandmother spent a little bimore time with me. My parents spent a lot of time with me."

Anybody who knows anything about Ohio high school football knows who Josh's father is — Thom McDaniels. From 1982-97, the eldeMcDaniels went 134-42 at powerhouse McKinley High in Canton, winning a state title. He later coached Maurice Clarett at HardingHigh. In a twist of fate, he's now an assistant coach at McKinley's archrival — Massillon High. "He's gone over to the dark side,"McDaniels said, laughing.

With all that in his background, was there any other way for Josh McDaniels to go career-wise than coaching football?

"I was around it a lot," said McDaniels, who eventually played quarterback for his father at McKinley. "Got to go to practice. Got to go tthe games. Got to be in the locker room. See all the inner-workings of a football program. And just kind of fell in love with it."I didn't have any idea I would do it at the NFL. Never really thought about that till I had the opportunity to latch on with New England.But I just wanted to be involved in the game because I think it's great. I think it was a great way for me to grow up"

So, long before McDaniels was a graduate assistant under Nick Saban at Michigan State, or was hired by Bill Belichick in New Englandor learned the Patriots' offense from Charlie Weis, he learned football from his father. And Thom McDaniels wasn't just a football coachhe was a football junkie.

He attended a clinic almost every weekend throughout the winter. Every spring he'd make a couple of visits to a college campus, wherehe'd watch practice and study film. Legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler was a big influence; so was former Ohio State coach JiTressel.

"Maryland, West Virginia, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Minnesota," Thom McDaniels said. "I've gone all over the place to get answersand to learn more about whatever phase of the game I had an interest in at that time.".

At first it may have come more by osmosis, but young Josh McDaniels was the beneficiary of all that football exposure and knowledge.He couldn't help but have a higher football IQ than many of his peers, be it in high school or as a quarterback-turned-wide receiver atJohn Carroll University in suburban Cleveland. (One of McDaniels' college teammates was London Fletcher, the former Rams linebackenow with Washington.)Who knows what McDaniels would be doing now if his father were ... an insurance salesman.

"I don't know," he said. "I always felt when I was younger that I learned more from being around football stuff than I did in any class Iever took or any year of schooling that I was ever involved in. Because you get to learn about adversity and teamwork and leadership anworking with people."

UP THE COACHING LADDER

McDaniels had barely gotten his feet wet in coaching, when he found himself out on the street. Saban left Michigan State for LouisianaState following the 1999 season, and in the aftermath McDaniels was out of a job. He didn't have to sell insurance; just scrap plastic.

"We'd bring it in, melt it down, and sell it," McDaniels said.

Brian Daboll, currently the Miami Dolphins' offensive coordinator, helped get McDaniels out of plastics. Daboll had been on thatMichigan State staff in '99, was with New England in 2000, and helped hook McDaniels up with the Patriots.





McDaniels interviewed with Belichick and Patriots executive Scott Pioli in February 2001. His first day on the job came later that monthat the NFL scouting combine. He split his time doing grunt work for Pioli in the front office and grunt work for Belichick and thecoaching staff.

"They put me in charge of breaking down all the film for the Patriots' defense to study," McDaniels said. "So I was breaking down theoffenses that we were playing. That was when I got to see St. Louis in depth that year because we played them in the regular season, thewe also played them in the Super Bowl. It was kind of a neat deal because you got to see all the things Mike (Martz) was doing."

As stunning as the Patriots' Super Bowl victory was over the Rams, Martz said after the regular-season victory at Foxborough 2½ monthearlier that the Patriots were good enough to reach the Super Bowl.

"I remember that game," McDaniels said. "We blitzed a ton. It was like 55 blitzes, and I don't think we got to Kurt (Warner) once. It wasclose — 24-17 or something like that. But we weren't quite good enough at that point. We were getting better."

(Actually, the Patriots did sack Warner once in a game where he threw 41 times for 401 yards and three touchdowns.)

Next came two years as a defensive assistant. "Those two years, where I was actually in the (meeting) room on the defense side, weretotally invaluable to me because I got to spent every day with Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Rob Ryan, Pepper Johnson, and Bill."

In '04, Belichick switched him to quarterbacks coach, and in '05 after offensive coordinator Charlie Weis left to become head coach atNotre Dame, McDaniels began calling plays. At age 29. He wasn't officially given the title of offensive coordinator until the followingseason.

It was a meteoric rise up the coaching ranks, and one that didn't stop there. Following the 2008 season, he was hired as head coach of theDenver Broncos. At age 32. Maybe it was a case of too much too fast, because McDaniels crashed and burned in the Mile High City.

After a 6-0 start in '09, the Broncos lost 17 of their next 22 games. Little more than a week after it was discovered that the Broncos hadillegally taped a San Francisco walk-through practice prior to a game in London, McDaniels was fired with four games left in the 2010season. He wasn't unemployed long.

REVIVING AN OFFENSE

For McDaniels, Denver already seems a long way off. He likes being back in the Midwest, and seems relaxed entering his first season aRams offensive coordinator. He has a No. 1 overall draft pick at quarterback in Sam Bradford and a two-time Pro Bowl running back inSteven Jackson. But there are question marks in a revamped receiver corps, and the offensive line must show improvement.

The Rams drafted a tight end and two wide receivers; in free agency they signed a wide receiver, a right guard and a pair of backuprunning backs. But really, the team's biggest offseason acquisition was McDaniels.

"Bar none, he's one of the best coordinators in the business," said defensive tackle Justin Bannan, who came to the Rams via free agencyfrom Denver. "This guy knows football like no other. He knows the offensive side, and he knows the defensive side. He knows footballpretty much better than anyone I've ever seen, so as far as an offensive coordinator you're getting a guy that's a complete student of thegame. That knows the game, and knows how to attack weaknesses."

The Rams averaged only 18 points a game last season, tied for 26th in the league. To be a legitimate playoff team, they need anothertouchdown a game. Where does McDaniels find it?

"Whenever you go back and look at your team from the last year, there's always things that you see and you say, 'You know what, we'vegot to improve in these areas,' " McDaniels said. "There's usually a lot of 'em."

MISCONCEPTIONS

The challenge is identifying the best ways to improve in those areas, and hope that those improvements make you more efficient, moreexplosive, more productive. Which all sounds pretty basic. On the other hand, trying to pigeon-hole McDaniels' offensive philosophy istrickier. In fact, since he arrived in St. Louis a couple of misconceptions already have sprung up. Namely:

1.) He loves throwing to tight ends.





Not really. During four seasons calling plays in New England and two years doing so as Denver's head coach, McDaniels had a tight endcatch more than 36 passes only once. In comparison, last year's top tight end in St. Louis (Daniel Fells, now with the Broncos) had 41catches.

As a unit, Rams tight ends caught 70 passes for 697 yards and seven TDs last season. In his six seasons calling plays, McDaniels' tight

end units topped 70 receptions only once, had more than 697 yards only twice, and combined for more than seven TDs only twice.

2.) McDaniels is all about the passing game.

Not necessarily. Although he's never had a 1,000-yard rusher in New England or Denver, the Patriots finished sixth in rushing offense in2008, 12th in '06, and 13th in '07. So in three of those six seasons, McDaniels-coached offenses finished in the top half of the league inrushing. They weren't far away from that in 2009, either, when the Broncos finished 18th.

So what is his offensive philosophy?

"First of all, I just want to win," he said. "That sounds simple, but sometimes I think that means we've got to do what's necessary thatweek against that team. Sometimes it may be asked of us to play faster and be no-huddle because that's the best thing for that game. Othetimes it may be run the ball a whole bunch — maybe more than normal because that's the best way to play 'em.

"The way that I would describe it is we want to try to use the people in our room to give ourselves the best chance to succeed. So if thetight ends warrant us throwing them the ball a whole bunch because they're that good in the passing game, then that's what we should do

"And if we have a great running back — which I think we do here — then he deserves to touch the ball a certain number of times everyweek. If the quarterback plays better in the shotgun, then we'll be in the shotgun more. The receivers, if we're better out of a bunchformation than we are in a spread formation, then we should be in a bunch formation."

TAKING IT WEEK TO WEEK

So take the notion of being flexible using offensive personnel. Couple that with the idea of attacking specific weaknesses of the opposindefense each week. And you have the two basic tenets of the McDaniels' system. In that sense, it's a week-to-week proposition

"Largely our concepts and our protections, and what runs we want to run, those will stay fairly the same," McDaniels said. "It's just how

you place your guys in the best position to succeed against that defense. That to me is what changes on a weekly basis.

"Our guys have been great in training camp because we've tried to simulate that a little bit. Each day has not been, all right, we're runninthe same things we did yesterday. It's been, here's the new stuff, let's learn it, let's go out and execute it well. We've tried to get them intothat frame of mind because that's kind of how we hope to play when we go from week to week."

The seeds of that approach were sewn with his father back in Canton.

"We were taught to be analytical and we were taught to understand what it is that defenses are trying to accomplish with that front andthat coverage and so forth," Thom McDaniels said. "Because everything has a weakness. Everything has a strength. And if we understanthe strength and understand the weakness, then we'll attempt to expose the weakness and to attack the weakness to the extent that we canWe'll manipulate the defense if that's possible."

Those two early years spent as a defensive assistant in New England were invaluable as well. "We were trying to figure out how to beatother team's offenses, and how our rules worked against certain people," McDaniels said. "When I did transfer over (to offense), a lot ofthat information has really shaped how I do things on offense."

Because of the lockout, McDaniels has had only five weeks to figure out what the Rams's offensive players can and can't do. And if youplayers aren't good enough, there's nothing in the playbook that can help. And certainly nothing in the NFL Football Encyclopedia, eithe





Bradford steps into Year 2 ready to go to next level

BY BRYAN BURWELL

The making of an NFL quarterback is a fascinating process. A year ago at this time, the pro football world was awaiting confirmation thSam Bradford was as good as advertised. He was the No.1 pick in the NFL Draft, and he was in the early stages of learning his craft.

Surrounded by teachers who were trying to teach him new techniques and an entirely new football language — not to mention dealingwith the scrutiny of teammates and legions of hard-bitten pro football wise guys who are not easily impressed — young Mr. Bradfordpassed with flying colors.

He was the NFL's offensive rookie of the year. He set an NFL rookie record for most consecutive passes thrown without an interceptionHe opened eyes and removed all doubt about his ability to hold up under the physical pounding at this level. Yet now we are on the vergof his second season in the NFL as the Rams starting QB, and the same eyes are on him again.

Since we live in a "what have you done for me lately" world in pro sports, we have to pay close attention to these things.So consider this the Bradford Update 2011: The kid isn't a kid anymore, and he's dead set on getting better.

The throws are getting better. His command of Josh McDaniels' new offense is shockingly good and his willingness to assume leadershiof this team — his team — is now complete. And just in case you were wondering, he is not looking for modest, incrementalimprovement for the Rams.

He's convinced the Rams can win the Super Bowl.Not in the future, people. He's talking about right here, right now.When asked what his goals were for this season recently, Bradford didn't play coy.

"A trophy," he said with a glimmer in his eyes.

As in the tall, sterling silver Lombardi Trophy?

"Uh huh," he said, smiling even more. "Why else are we in this business?"

This came up a lot during the summer as Bradford sat with all the national football writers who came to camp ready to praise Bradford

and the Rams for last year's 7-9 season. And every time that happened, Bradford got angry. He told them he did not come to St. Louiswith the intent of being average. He came here for the same reason he went to Oklahoma. It's the same reason he used to give his bestchildhood friend the silent treatment when as 11-year-olds they were playing childhood games in the summer sun.

If they're keeping score, Bradford wants to win.

"That was my whole point in getting angry with those (reporters)," Bradford said. "Every time I was asked (if he was pleased with lastseason), I was thinking who in their right mind sets out to go 7-9? If you do that, that is so far from the right mind set that you're almostlike not even allowing yourself the chance to succeed. ... It's a joke really."

There is nothing in Bradford's competitive DNA that suggests he wants to do anything modestly on the field of play.

GROWING UP BRADFORD

"I hate to lose," Bradford says, almost embarrassed. "I reallllllly hate to lose."

He chuckles when he says this then drops his head in mock shame when asked how competitive he was growing up. "There were a lot ofstories, lots of 'em," he says.

He recalls the time when he was 11 years old and he and his best friend would get dropped off at a local golf course. The day would starof innocently enough with a bucket of balls on the driving range and maybe a dip in the swimming pool. "But as soon as we got on thegolf course, right after the first or second hole, everything changed," Bradford says. "As soon as someone took a one-stroke lead, westopped being friends. For the next 17 holes, we didn't say a word to each other. It was just bearing down and trying to beat the other guy





"If you hit a good shot, I didn't expect to hear anything from him and he didn't expect to hear anything from me, because it wasn'tcoming," he says now. "I wanted to beat him and he wanted to beat me and it was just put your head down, make your shots and dowhatever you could to get in the other guy's head."

The little boys were grinding it out and even after the round was complete — win, lose or draw — the competitive fire did not extinguis

for an hour or so after they finished playing.

"We'd be sitting in the kitchen at my house and my mom would make us sandwiches for lunch and that's when we remembered we werefriends again," Bradford says. "It was bad. We wouldn't calm down until she handed us our lunch. And then a day later we were back at again. It really was bad."

Even now, a decade later, though, Bradford didn't really act like it was all that bad. In fact, as he tells the story, it sounds like this is acompetitive badge of honor, particularly when he explains that he can't really think of a circumstance growing up where he would cut afriend or family member a break on the field of play.

"Oh no," he laughs. "I would never let anyone win."

'HE'S OUR LEADER'

There were plenty of challenges for the rookie quarterback last year, but there are just as many for the second-year QB, too. There isanother new playbook to devour, another offensive coordinator to tutor him on the finer points of the job, another season full of expectations to fulfill. But the one thing that we have already learned about Bradford is this: the questions no longer revolve around if heis up to the task, only when he will blossom fully as one of those once-in-a-generation franchise quarterbacks who can lead a team tochampionship prosperity.

"You know it's crazy to think of him only in his second year," nine-year veteran offensive lineman Adam Goldberg said. "I don't eventhink of him as a young guy anymore. He's our leader and we do what he tells us to do. You know sometimes when you test things thatare not proven, like a rookie, you just keep putting more on their plate to see how they handle it? You start off small, then you keep onpiling more and more stuff on their plate."

Goldberg is one of those people who enjoys sizing people up. He carefully observed every subtle and not-so-subtle thing that Bradfordwas confronted with, and came away distinctly impressed. He was waiting to see if the burdens that were being piled on the kid would

buckle him even in the slightest way. "But with Sam," said Goldberg, "the more stuff you add, he seems to get more comfortable. It's likyou're just giving him another tool in his tool belt."

The first challenge he faced for his sophomore season was the labor lockout that kept the players away from coaching and supervisedmini-camps and organized off-season team activities. That meant that there would be no intense instruction from coaches on McDanielsnew offensive system. But before the lockout began, Bradford received a playbook from McDaniels and on his own took a crash course learning every detail of the thick playbook.

TAKING CHARGE

As the lockout dragged on, the players got together for several unsupervised workouts. As the Rams players traveled around the countryconducting off-season workouts from St. Louis to Norman, from Houston to Phoenix, Bradford's teammates began to notice that the quieand reserved rookie had vanished. It was more than just his outspoken demeanor, though, that was different. It was his complete

command of his environment.

There were veterans and rookies at these lockout workouts with a new playbook and no coaches there to explain it to them. There were ncoaches around to make sure that these makeshift OTA's and mini-camps had the same sense of urgency that supervised workouts wouldhave provided.

They had no coaches, but they had Bradford, and that was more than enough.

"We knew that we were going in the right direction with Sam this summer," said Mardy Gilyard, the second-year wide receiver who wasrecently cut. "Sam was some of everybody. He went from being Coach Spags to Mickey D (McDaniels) to being (receivers coach NolanCromwell. He was whoever we needed him to be. He took the tight ends to the side and 'Hey we need to run it this way.' He took our wireceivers aside and said 'Hey we need this (pattern) run here, and we need this (pattern) run there. We need you to break it off at this



ST. LOUIS RAM S NEWS CLI PS


point, not this point. Do this, do that.' Sam knew exactly how he wanted everything run. And for all this (offensive system) being so brannew, we were all looking at Sam like 'Damned man, you really know it.'"

And then Gilyard smiled like he had just discovered a wonderful secret, which of course he actually had.

"That's exactly what we need in our starting quarterback," Gilyard said. "You would have thought Sam has been in this league for 10years by the way he took control of everything."

THE GROWTH PROCESS

A year ago, he wouldn't have been able to do this. At least that's what Bradford thought. He did not want to be viewed as a cocky rookiewho came in with no pelts on the wall expecting people to follow him simply because he was the No.1 draft pick.

"I think there were a couple of times (last year) where I shied away or looked for someone else to say something just because I felt, youknow, who am I to say something?" Bradford admitted. "As the season went on, I probably felt like in the back of my head, yeah I couldhave said something. But at the same time I was still not trying to step on toes, and not be that guy where everyone looked at and said,'What do you know rookie?'"

That attitude was not only noticed, but appreciated by veterans like cornerback Ron Bartell. "You definitely appreciate somebody whocomes in humble, and willing to learn, willing to listen, especially with the amount of money these guys are being paid nowadays. So itwas refreshing to see that. But this football team is going to go as far as he takes us. It's his team. We all recognize that. He's the No.1overall pick. He did a lot of great things last year. This is his football team. We make no bones about that."

But based on the way he played as a rookie, I asked Bradford if he really thought anyone would have raised an eyebrow if he had spokenup more often.

"I don't know," he said.

This wasn't false modesty. It was the sensible, even-headed manner of a young man who was smart enough to know that leadership is nosomething you grab, it is something you earn.

"Looking back at the beginning of the year, I still had to prove myself," Bradford said. "Now by the end of the year, I did become more

vocal. But for most of the time last year, I was still trying to figure out what I was doing. I didn't have time to worry what everyone elsewas doing. When we were watching film, I was still trying to figure out where I was going to go with the ball. I wasn't trying to harp onpeople about being a yard short or a yard deep on a pass route. I was just trying to figure out what the defense is doing and what am Igoing to do. This year I am more comfortable with everything, so I am able to do more than concentrate on my own situation."

THE COMPETITIVE FIRE

That comfort level with assuming the outspoken leadership role is one of the many things that immediately struck McDaniels as heobserved his young quarterback. "That's been really an exciting thing for me to see," says McDaniels. "He is a little bit more reserved incertain settings. But I think that's because he's paying great attention to all the little details and all the coaching points.

"But the other night for example (before the pre-season game) in Kansas City, we made one mistake in pregame. We were running our 7on-7s and somebody was misaligned, and he grabbed the skill group right there and just lit into 'em, you know, in a positive way about,

'there's no room for that.' I think that he shows that fire and that intensity specifically on game day. And I think the more comfortable hegets in our offense this year with the guys he's playing with in the huddle, I think you'll see that on a more continual basis. It's there and shows it. He has a great sense for the right timing for it, too."

There have been several revealing moments over the past year where Bradford has exhibited that competitive fire. There were two gamelast year where coach Steve Spagnuolo wanted to take Bradford out of the game, once when the head coach was trying to protect the kidfrom getting battered by the defense and once when the coach thought the kid wasn't playing well. Both times Bradford barked back atSpags and refused to come out.

It was not a rebellious move. It was a leadership move. Bradford believed that a bad message would be sent to his teammates if the coacever took him out of a game for any reason other than injury. He didn't care if he was getting beat up. So were his teammates. He didn'tcare if he was struggling. He would find a way to rebound and give his team its best chance to win.





Those were eye-opening moments that showed that Bradford was finding his leadership voice.

"When Sam talks it's not for just any reason," says receiver Danny Amendola. "It's because he has something to say. He's going to be onof the great ones. He knows how to get it done."

Competitive fires stoke Bradford and rebuilt Rams

BY PETE PRISCO

Sitting in a chair inside an office at the St. Louis Rams' facility during a recent interview, Sam Bradford was about as cool as he looks onthe field. He was polite. He was courteous. He was thoughtful. But then I made the tactical error of bringing up the team's expectations

after the Rams' surprising 7-9 record in 2010, a season that saw Bradford, the top pick in the draft last year, show that he has the tools tobe a top-tier quarterback. The Rams were a game away from winning the NFC West after going 1-15 in 2009, so the natural assumptionthat it was a good year, including the surprise push for a playoff berth. Don't dare say that to Bradford.

"It bugs me when people like you say our expectations are higher now," Bradford said. "For most people, their expectations for this teamare middle of the road. That just bugs me. If guys in this building ever start to believe in people's expectations, than we are in trouble. Ouexpectations are way up there. If we don't get there, we should be mad. We should be pissed off. Last year, for example, we were a gamefrom the playoffs. And I heard more people say we had a good year. I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?' We didn't make the playoffs. Wedidn't win a playoff game. We didn't make the Super Bowl. You're telling us we had a great year?"

That's who Sam Bradford is as a competitor. He doesn't play anything or do anything to finish second.

"My expectations are for us to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl," Bradford said. "If you don't think that way, you just settle.That's the worst thing in the world. If I came out and said last year that if we could just win four games it would have been awesome,that's terrible. Who wants to be 4-12? Why ever set expectations like that. It blows my mind."

It's that way wherever he competes. Take the ping-pong table. He is the best on the team. But receiver Danny Amendola beats him nowand then, and Amendola said it drives Bradford crazy.

"I let him know all about it," Amendola said. "He beats me more than I beat him, so I have to get on him when I do win. He doesn't likeit."

It's that drive and determination that helps feed this young team. If they see their second-year quarterback with that much drive, it has torub off.

"He wants to be the best at ping-pong, he wants to be the best at pool, he wants to be the best at everything," Rams linebacker JamesLaurinaitis said. "That's the way he is. When your quarterback is that way, guys look to that. That's what's so special about him.

"He wants to be the best quarterback. No matter how much money you give him. No matter how high the expectations, nothing willchange. His goal is being the best. He's very motivated. He's very competitive."

In his first season, Bradford threw for 3,512 yards and had 18 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions. It was an impressive rookie seasonone that made Bradford look at times like he's been doing it for a long time.

That was on the outside. On the inside, it was a different story. "I was trying to figure out what went along with playing the position,"Bradford said. "Kind of doing it on the fly."

Bradford said early in his rookie season he would rarely get past the second read. By midseason, he was getting to third and fourth readsThat inability to go through his progressions led to what some said was too much checking down.

Bradford's yards-per-attempt average was 6.0 yards, which was lowest among starting quarterbacks -- except fellow rookie JimmyClausen of Carolina.

That led to the notion that Bradford wouldn't take chance throws. He doesn't like that perception. "I wouldn't say chance, I wouldn't sayrisky," Bradford said. "I feel as a second-year quarterback now it's a lot easier to go through my progressions. Last year, for the most parespecially early, I'm going to one and two and if it's not there I'm going to throw it away or check it down. Once you feel comfortable ingoing through the progressions that's where I guess what can appear to be riskier throws happen. They're really not. They're just takingwhat the defense gives you."

Bradford now has to learn a new offense for the second consecutive year. Just as he got settled into the offense run by Pat Shurmur, theBrowns hired Shurmur away to be their head coach. Josh McDaniels replaced him. McDaniels was fired as coach of the Denver Broncosbut he brings a reputation as a good offensive mind. The new offense will have more formations. It will have more throws down the fiel-- be more wide open.




Publication: CBSSports.com Section/# of Pages: Sports/2 of 2 Date: 8/8/1

And Bradford loves learning a new system all over again. That's the competitor in him.

"Any quarterback would be crazy to tell you they wouldn't be excited to play with Josh," Bradford said. "The challenge of learninganother new offense is what makes it fun. It's not like it's something I've been doing for 12 years and it's repetitive and boring. I'm nottired of doing the same things every day. It's something new. Every day is a challenge. Every day I feel I am getting better. Every day ou

there I am getting more confident."

Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said the offense will be made up of 60 percent of what McDaniels brings and 40 percent of what Bradforddid well last season.

"I enjoy watching the interaction between Josh and Sam and seeing how intense Sam is at getting everything down perfect," Spagnuolosaid. "That's who he is. I can see that he is very determined and motivated to be perfect in this thing. That's the guy. He's motivated to ruthis offense better than anybody who has run it."

In case anybody's wondering, a guy named Tom Brady ran the same offense. Bradford has a long way to get to that. But he's off to a goostart. Just don't tell him that. There's so much more to do -- and this is one quarterback that doesn't seem as if he will ever be content witwhat he's already done.





Rams Spagnuolo Will Keep The Faith

BY BERNIE MIKLASZ

In the late stages of his team's disappointing 31-13 loss to Philadelphia, Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo was already working on nextweek's game plan. It began with the effort to restore his players emotionally.

Spags moved from player to player on the sideline, offering words of encouragement and a pat on the back. You could see the players noat the coach in agreement. Some put an arm around him.

"I knew there was a teaching moment there," Spagnuolo said Saturday afternoon in his office at Rams Park. "Most of what I was sayingwas, 'Hey, men, we have a long way to go. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Get your heads up.' I'd like to consider myself to be a teacher. I'mhere for them. Not to bang them down and wear them out because I want to show that I'm some kind of tough guy or 'leader.' I don'tbelieve in tearing people down. I'm here to hopefully build something."

Spagnuolo believes that it's best to challenge players after they've had time to cool down, and think. In the days after the loss to theEagles, Spagnuolo's upbeat persona gave way to his more pragmatic side. In reviewing what went wrong against the Eagles, he isolatedtheir mistakes and demanded more attention to detail.

"It doesn't accomplish anything to overreact," he said. "I don't think knee-jerk is the way to go. It just shows a lack of composure. After couple of days, I still jumped them for things that shouldn't have happened."

Spagnuolo's patience and power of positive thinking will likely be tested in the coming weeks as the Rams navigate their way through avicious early-season schedule. Next up: Monday night's game in New Jersey against the New York Giants.

Whether the Rams win or lose, you can count on Spagnuolo to keep his head together. That consistency is a reason why playersappreciate playing for Spagnuolo.

Coaches tend to be insecure. The pressure, the losing, can drive them crazy. When things get nasty, you'll see coaches try to score pointswith the media and fans by berating players publicly. These diatribes are entertaining, but they tend to damage the trust between playerand coach.

Rams players know that Spagnuolo will have their back. He won't sell them out to redirect the heat away from him. If he's upset, he'll de

with his guys privately, and his criticism is almost always constructive.

So where does this come from? Why does Steve Spagnuolo strive to see the best in people when it would be so much easier to wallow innegativity and misery?

Faith is an important component of Spagnuolo's life. Faith formed much of the foundation of his marriage to wife Maria. Faith is thefabric that holds everything together, including his positive coaching philosophy.

"Faith is huge to me," Spagnuolo said. "There is no conceivable way that I should be sitting where I am. There's only one reason that I'mhere, it's because God wanted me here."

And to understand why Spagnuolo considers it something of a miracle to be sitting there in his office on this gray Saturday, preparing fothe Giants, you have to go back to a warm summer night in 1980, when he was 20.

It was July 8, the evening of the annual MLB All-Star Game. Spagnuolo, living in Grafton, Mass., made plans to go watch the game withis best friends Richie Vacca, Jackie Herbst and Craig LeClaire at a local hangout.

At the family dinner table, Steve's mom, Carol Spagnuolo, asked him to reconsider. Her father — his Grandpa Leo — wanted to comeover and watch the game with Steve.

Spagnuolo initially resisted. But he remembered a conversation with his girlfriend after the death of her grandfather. She told Steve toappreciate opportunities to be with Grandpa Leo while he still had the chance.

And so the young Spags called his friends, told them to go on without him. He stayed home to watch the All-Star Game with GrandpaLeo.





At 7 a.m. the next morning the phone rang.

Richie, Jackie and Craig never made it home. After midnight, their car had swerved into an oncoming tractor trailer, and all three werekilled in a horrific head-on collision.

"I should have been in that car," Spagnuolo said. "I shouldn't be here. Someone, for whatever reason, watched over me. There are nonormal reasons why I should have been in New York and won a Super Bowl in my first year with the Giants (as defensive coordinator.)Or why I should be the head coach of this team.

"When I have doubts in my mind, I go back and say 'Wait a minute, I know God has got me here for a reason.' And I don't believe He'dset me up to fail, because look at what all that He has done for me.' So it gives me strength."

And it keeps Spags positive, too. That wasn't always the case. The shocking death of his friends actually pushed Spagnuolo away from hfaith.

"I was pretty young, confused, searching for answers," he said. "And I remember thinking about why my life was saved that night. Andwhy my friends died. I have to tell you I had a dark period for eight, nine years after that.

"I was always thinking, you know, 'How could You let that happen to my three friends? There must not be a God.' I was lost for a whileBut there were people in my life who kept knocking on the door. They weren't going to let me stay in that place. Finally, I began to comaround, and I grew."

Spagnuolo is grateful to Leslie Frazier, now the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. As assistants on Andy Reid's staff in Philadelphiathey shared an office. Frazier, a devout Christian, helped Spagnuolo clear his head during long talks at night, after the football work wasdone for the day.

Frazier helped revive Spagnuolo, spiritually. And when Maria came into his life, Spanguolo was rescued completely.

"My wife is so unique and special," he said. "She never has a weak moment. She is an amazing person. I believe the reason she is like this because she has Christ in her. That's where I think it comes from. I'm not always like that. I fail all of the time. But she has it. And howlucky I am to have someone with me like that every day."

During quiet moments, Spagnuolo will occasionally think about his three friends, Grandpa Leo, and the twist of fate that eventually ledhim on a path to become head coach of the Rams.

"When we leave our high school years, and go away to college, you probably end up with only two or three really close friends in lifefrom that time," he said. "And three of mine were just wiped out. So there was a big void there. I think about it a lot on the anniversary."

Richie, Jackie and Craig died on July 9, 1980.

Steve and Maria Spagnuolo were married at the Vatican in Rome in a small, quiet ceremony on July 9, 2005.

"We didn't plan it that way," he said. "But it's a good thing. It really is a good thing."





Burwell: Quinn offered hope in player's time of need

BY BRYAN BURWELL

Nancy Butters doesn't know all that much about football, but she sure knows plenty about people. Butters is a social worker at DukeUniversity's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, and you can learn a lot about people when you spend your working hours dealing

in the incomprehensible sadness and uncommon inspiration inside a hospital pediatric ward.

This is where Butters first set eyes on a 19-year-old Robert Quinn sitting amidst a room full of kids his age and much younger. Some of the children in the room were laying in beds with IV needles in their arms. Many were frail and bald, barely clinging to life.

But there was nothing frail about Quinn. He was a well-muscled football player, not a terminal cancer patient. It was the fall of 2009, twyears before the talented University of North Carolina pass rusher would become the first-round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams. Here hwas, two years removed from being told rather clinically that he had a tumor growing in his head and that soon he potentially could endup brain dead.

"The nurse told me that, then made this very dramatic walk out the room," Quinn remembered. "It was kind of like that Boobie Milesmoment (in the movie "Friday Night Lights") when they told him he would never play football again. I looked at my mom and just lostit."

But Quinn was one of those medical miracles Nancy Butters prays for every day. He was lucky because the doctors not only discoveredthat his tumor was benign, soon after an operation to shrink the tumor and reduce the swelling to his brain, Quinn was back playing sporand on his way to becoming a scholarship athlete and a future NFL first-round draft pick.

And now here he was at the hospital — at her request by the way — trying to provide some inspiration for another young football playernamed Lavelle Sloan, who had recently learned that he too had a tumor lodged on his brain.

"It was the most amazing thing," Butters said. "Think about it for a moment. It can't be the easiest thing in the world for a kid that youngto have survived something like this like Robert had. And you could understand completely if the last thing he wanted to do would be togo into an environment where everyone around him was acting as a reminder of what he'd gotten through. It could have been the last thinhe wanted to see or do. But here he was walking right into this ward with kids taking (chemotherapy), and he handled it wonderfully."

Before you start questioning what sort of character the Rams may have drafted with the No. 14 selection in the first round, you might

want to check in with Nancy Butters. You have heard the stories about the kid being permanently expelled from NCAA competition foraccepting "illegal benefits" from an unscrupulous South Florida jeweler, and maybe you're wondering if the Rams have brought some soof unsavory scoundrel to Rams Park.

If you feel that way, ask Butters what she thinks. She can't stop finding fine things to say about Robert Quinn.

"I was sitting there watching him get drafted (Thursday) night and I can't tell you how good that made me feel," she. "I know all thethings that were said about him and the trouble he got in with the NCAA, but the Robert I know is a fine young man. ... If you know whI know, you'd understand exactly why I feel this way."

A time of hope

So what does she know that you don't know?

This is not the sort of thing you will find on his football curriculum vitae. The story begins in May, 2009, in a small North Carolina townof Spring Lake when a 5-foot-5, 170-pound running back at Pine Forest High School near Fayetteville named Lavelle Sloan was rushed Cape Fear Valley Medical Center with blurred vision, severe headaches and vomiting. The 18-year-old Sloan underwent tests thatrevealed a golf ball-sized tumor growing on the right side of his brain.

One day later, he was at Duke undergoing exploratory surgery. When he came to hours later, Sloan sat in his hospital room with hisparents and listened as doctors and social workers tried to explain what was wrong. They called it a grade 4 glioblastoma, a malignantcancerous growth that is aggressive and difficult to eradicate. But when you are an 18-year-old kid with a lifetime of dreams floating inyour head and some stranger in a white coat starts such sobering conversations, surely all you can hear are the most frightening fragmen





Tumor ...

Malignant ...

Cancer ...

Chemotherapy ...

They told him he would have to give up football, but Lavelle kept hoping, praying and believing that he would beat cancer and find hisway back onto the football field for his senior year. The treatments made him too weak to play, but one day in the fall of '09 he waswatching a UNC football game on television with his father, Randy McLaughlin, when they heard the commentators talking about RobeQuinn and how he had overcome his brain tumor and gotten back on the football field.

"He's been through what I have," Lavelle said at the time. "He gives me a lot of hope."

In October of 2007, early in his senior year at Fort Dorchester High in North Charleston, S.C., Quinn began waking up each morning wisevere headaches. The headaches got worse, and Quinn began acting strangely. "I noticed things were going on," his mother, Maria, said"The color of his eyes were changing, he was complaining of headaches. He was going to bed early, and that wasn't him. Then one nighthe went to bed at 9 o'clock on a Saturday and I knew something was wrong. But I just figured he was tired. But the next day he woke upand something was really wrong."

The headaches were so severe that he collapsed in the bathroom, and his parents immediately took him to the hospital where theydiscovered a benign tumor on the right side of his brain just above his forehead. He underwent emergency surgery to reduce the size andremove fluid from around the tumor that was causing the swelling in his brain and causing the headaches.

Before the operation, that's when the nurse made the dramatic announcement on the severity of the tumor. "They told us he would neverplay sports again," Maria said. "I said that was up to God."

Her husband, James, a former world-class high hurdler in college, said the only thing he wanted to know about was "whether (the tumorwas cancerous or not. When it came back that it wasn't cancerous. I was relieved. Then, when they said he might not be able to play sporagain, I was okay with that as long as my son was going to be alive. That was my biggest concern."

But Robert was devastated to hear he would never play sports again. He was an undefeated heavyweight state wrestling champion andwas receiving countless football scholarship offers, and he couldn't fathom a life without sports.

"I cried like a baby when they told me that," Robert said. "But a few months later, I was back on the mat and winning the state wrestlingtitle again."

Lavelle Sloan heard that part of the story, and he knew he had to meet Quinn. Nancy Butters remembers the conversation she had withhim about his new favorite sports hero, and she decided to see if she could get the two kids together.

"But Nancy told me not to tell Lavelle because she wasn't sure it was going to happen," Sloan's mom, Marilyn, recalled.

"To be honest with you, I was just hoping he'd send us a jersey or an autographed picture," Butters said. "But here comes Robert. Heshowed up, and it just immediately lifted Lavelle's spirits."

The first time they met was when North Carolina played Miami in Chapel Hill on Nov. 14, 2009. Sloan and his family were invited totheir first-ever college football game, and during warm-ups he was allowed on the field. Quinn came across the field and brought a few ohis teammates with him, and they all gave Lavelle hugs and encouragement. Then, Quinn promised they would meet again.

Two weeks later, when Sloan came to Duke for his intravenous chemotherapy treatments, Quinn came to the hospital to visit.

"I don't know to this day what they talked about in that room, but whatever it was, it lifted Lavelle's spirits," his mother said.

"It was just guy stuff," Quinn said. "We talked football. We talked about life. We talked about the tumor. I told him he was going to makit through. I told him the doctor told me I was supposed to be brain dead, so I'm living testimony that it can happen. I didn't want to go inthere and tell him something negative no matter how serious his condition was. I wanted to give him hope. I had to give him hope,because at times like that, that's all you have to cling to."





Aggressive Tumor

By Christmas, things were not going well. Lavelle was losing more weight and getting weaker. He could not take Quinn up on aninvitation to visit the team as Quinn and the Tar Heels prepared for a bowl game against Pittsburgh. The first round of chemotherapywasn't working, and the cancerous tumor was getting more aggressive and doctors were changing him to a physically and emotionally

draining 21-day cycle of oral chemo.

Just before Christmas, Robert sent Lavelle a color photograph of Quinn in action, bursting around the edge of some hapless offensivelineman. Across the bottom of the photo was Quinn's autograph and a short message.

"He wrote, "Keep your head up,'" Marilyn Sloan said. "The day that photograph arrived, Lavelle saw it and for the first time in weeks, hgot up out of the bed. He was strong and energized. It was such a wonderful thing."

And then there was a long sigh.

"Unfortunately, it didn't last long enough," she said.

On April 14, 2010, Lavelle Sloan died peacefully in his mother's home in Spring Lake, just a week shy of a special graduation ceremonyhis high school had planned for him. On the day he passed away, Robert Quinn said someone sent him a text message to inform him of Sloan's death.

"I remember looking at my phone and I just broke down in tears," Quinn said. "I just kept thinking about what his mother was goingthrough."

A week later, officials from his high school presented Marilyn Sloan with her son's diploma and his football jersey. She buried him in hi jersey. "He kept working, and he was trying to make it to graduation," Marilyn Sloan said. "It was his dream to go to Wake Forest."

One year later, on the day after the first round of the 2011 NFL draft, Marilyn Sloan was in her car listening to the radio and they weretalking about Robert Quinn being drafted into the NFL, and she just started to smile.

"It made me think of Lavelle and all the kind things Robert did for him," she said.

Nancy Butters felt the same way as she watched the draft on TV.

"Meeting Robert was the highlight of the last 12 months of Lavelle's life," Butters said. "If you saw what he did with Lavelle and howmuch time he spent with him and how much he cared for Lavelle when he really didn't have to, you would understand why I feel the wayI do. To me Robert was an angel."

Chris Long leads under-the radar Rams defense

BY JIM CORBETT

Pressure has long been third-year St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo's hallmark from Super Bowl XLII-winning defensive schemerwith the New York Giants to ramping up a seventh-ranked Rams pass rush.

With veteran players joining the defensive unit, fourth-year Ram Chris Long looks to increase his sacks. "This could be a breakout yearfor Chris," coach Steve Spagnuolo says.

Pressure has always been an unspoken companion in fourth-year Rams defensive end Chris Long's life. Except now, the second overallpick in 2008 is bringing heat after long ago vowing never to surrender to expectations to live up to father Howie Long's Hall of Fameresume.

Long enjoyed an under-the-radar, 8½-sack 2010 breakout, a strong indication the 6-3, 276-pound left defensive end is on his way tocreating his own pro football name.

Second-year quarterback Sam Bradford is the face of the 2011 Rams. Yet how far the Rams go depends on how well Bradford iscomplemented by an improving defense.

Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan won a Super Bowl in 2007 under Spagnuolo and knows exactly how importanLong will be to proving the Rams are for real.

"It is a defensive-end system," the Fox analyst said. "The way Spags has set it up, Chris is in the right position to have a big, big season.Last year was an unsung year for Chris. He was more reactive, less mechanical. They added some veteran defensive guys who have madplays and been veteran leaders. This could be a breakout year for Chris."

Four of those free-agent upgrades include new starters in former Eagles safety Quintin Mikell, strongside linebacker Brady Poppinga,weak-side linebacker Ben Leber and defensive tackle Justin Bannan.

In tandem with counterpart end James Hall, Long combined for 19 of the Rams' 43 sacks last season.

Further, Long tied for ninth with Seattle's Chris Clemons in combined quarterback hurries and knockdowns with 36. He'll get some help

on the other side with first-round rookie speed rusher Robert Quinn figuring to spell the 34-year-old Hall at times.

Next up? Long hopes to crack the double-digit sack barrier.

"I felt like I was getting there a lot last season," Long said. "Certainly, it's frustrating to get there a lot and not get the sack numbers. Butyou just have to keep coming at the quarterback, staying positive, knowing you affected the quarterback.

"That's all part of playing good team defense, not being selfish — just trying to get pressure."

Spagnuolo's defense is built in the relentless pressure image preached by late Philadelphia Eagles coordinator Jim Johnson. Spags startedin 1999 coaching the Eagles secondary.

"I'm hoping Chris has the same performance as last year, if not better," Spagnuolo said.

"Obviously, we've always put huge value on that particular end position. We've always done that in this system. I learned that years backwith Jim Johnson and Andy Reid.

"We've got some guys now we hope can keep doing that. Chris is one of them."

A run defense that sprung cut-back leaks Aug. 20 against the Tennessee Titans tightened up in a Week 3 preseason showing againstKansas City.




Publication: USAToday.com Section/# of Pages: Sports/2 of 2 Date: 9/02/1

Long figures to see less of the incessant holding by offensive linemen give the interior line additions of Bannan and former IndianapolisColt defensive tackle Daniel Muir plus former Green Bay Packer Poppinga and former Minnesota Viking Leber upgrading the unit's twooutside linebacker spots.

"In an offseason where there were a lot of big-name free-agent acquisitions across the league, we went with guys that maybe not as manpeople know as well, but they're great football players," Long said.

"They're going to be integral parts of this scheme and also they come from places where they're accustomed to winning. Both Poppingaand (cornerback) Al Harris came from the Packers, who just got a Super Bowl ring.

"Q' Mikell just came from Philly, where they're accustomed to winning every year.

"We've acquired guys who know how to win and set that standard of excellence."

A 12th-ranked scoring defense figures to be stingier.

"It's fun to play in this defense," middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "It's a very exotic scheme with a lot of pressures.

"But just because we went from 1-15 to 7-9 and almost making the playoffs last year doesn't guarantee we'll be better."We have to stay hungry to get there."





Gibson is an early standout among Rams receivers

BY BILL COATS

With 12 wide receivers on hand for Rams training camp and probably no more than six spots available on the regular-season roster, thecompetition promises to be intense.

Bring it on, says third-year pro Brandon Gibson.

"You've got to like the competition; it's what's best for the team," Gibson. Besides, he added, "There's nothing you can do about it. Just gout there and play every day."

Over the first four days of camp, Gibson has kicked off a strong bid for a job. He's been working mostly with the first-team offense,which, Gibson pointed out, doesn't mean much this early.

"I don't want to get too excited in this process," he said. "I'm just going to try to stay level."

Despite a couple of missteps during Tuesday's 2½-hour practice in stifling heat, Gibson has been cobbling together a strong showing.

"Everything he's done, he's done it a hundred miles an hour," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "He's almost to the point where he's wornhimself out a little bit. But I know one thing: The quarterback has a lot of confidence in him."

Gibson was one of the beneficiaries of the arrival of No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford, who threw for 3,512 yards last year and wasnamed Associated Press offensive rookie of the year.

The 6-foot, 210-pound Gibson, a sixth-round draft pick out of Washington State, nearly boosted his totals significantly from his rookieyear, when he was acquired in a trade from Philadelphia just over a month into the season.

Gibson had 53 catches, an increase of 19 from 2009, and piled up 620 yards after getting 348 the year before. He was second among theRams to Danny Amendola in receptions and yards.

Still, Gibson wasn't celebrating his individual accomplishments. The 16-6 season-ending loss at Seattle, which deprived the Rams of aplayoff spot, "left a bad taste in my mouth," Gibson said. "I want to get another shot at winning the NFC West."

To close in on that goal, the Rams will have to exploit the offense brought by new coordinator Josh McDaniels. He was head coach inDenver in 2009 and part of 2010, and before that served as offensive coordinator under Bill Belichick in New England.

McDaniels' system is "intricate, it's detailed, it's complex," Gibson said. "It's going to be great. You saw last year with Denver and inyears past with the Patriots, it can be very explosive."

It also relies heavily on multi-wideout sets, something that naturally pleases Gibson. "But I think in any offense there's opportunities," hesaid. "You've just got to make the most of them."

And that's the plan, as he heads into year two with Bradford.

"That was one of my goals, to pick up where I left off last year," Gibson said. "So hopefully we can continue to get better and better."





Former Packer Harris has something to prove

BY JIM THOMAS

When you're trying to improve your game, why not study the best? So it was that Rams cornerback Ron Bartell spent an entire summer couple of years ago watching tape of Green Bay's savvy corner tandem of Al Harris and Charles Woodson.

Suffice to say when the Rams signed Harris to one-year deal a few days ago, no one at Rams Park was happier than Bartell, with thepossible exception of coach Steve Spagnuolo.

"I think it was a great pickup," Bartell said. "I've been picking Al's brain since he got here."

Bartell is entering his seventh season in the NFL and has 88 games and 64 starts on his résumé, so he's far from a wide-eyed rookie. Hisrespect for Harris is telling.

"Just to have the privilege and the honor of playing with Al Harris is huge," Bartell said. "I mean, he's been in this league 15 years atcornerback. I'm not sure many guys have done that."

For the better part of a decade, Harris was a familiar sight in the Green Bay secondary: intense, ultra-competitive, jamming receivers atthe line of scrimmage, breaking up passes, with his trademark dreadlocks flapping in the breeze. He was the quintessential in-your-facecornerback.

But Harris suffered a severe left knee injury in 2009 during a late November game against San Francisco. He missed the rest of thatseason, began the 2010 campaign on the physically unable to perform list, then was cut by the Packers last Nov. 8.

Thus ended a 7½-season run that included 102 starts.

Harris finished the 2010 season appearing in three games with Miami, but the Packers thought so much of Harris that they gave him aSuper Bowl ring following their 31-25 triumph over Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLV.

"Those are my guys," Harris said. "Spent a lot of time there. Played a lot of snaps there. Lot of consecutive snaps there. So it is what it is

At age 36, and with all those games and seasons under his belt, why does the two-time Pro Bowler still want to play?

"I love the game, man," Harris said. "I've still got something to prove. I'm here to help win. Spags is a great guy. I remember him fromback in Philly. Diggs is here. I'm just trying to help build something."

Rams linebacker Na'il Diggs was a teammate of Harris' for three seasons in Green Bay. Spagnuolo's tenure in Philadelphia overlappedwith Harris for four seasons (1999 through 2002).

Originally a sixth-round draft pick by Tampa Bay in 1997, Harris was claimed off waivers by the Eagles in 1998 and played for themuntil a trade in 2003 to Green Bay.

"We were in the same meeting room in Philadelphia," Harris said. "Spags has the same mentality as Jim (Johnson), bless his heart. Justthis defense, I was raised in this defense. This is the defense that I came up under."

The late Jim Johnson solidified his reputation as of one of the NFL's great defensive coordinators with the Eagles before his death in2009.

Even at his advanced football age, Harris said other teams showed interest in signing him this summer, but his mind was set on the Ramfrom the outset because of Spagnuolo and because of the defense.

"Spags hasn't changed at all," Harris said. "He's one of the good guys."

One reason Harris still wants to play is that he doesn't want to end his career off an injury.

"You can never leave when you're hurt," Harris said. "You always leave when you're strong."

As he enters training camp with the Rams, Harris says the knee feels good and he welcomes the challenge of trying to help build a team





"I've been in this situation before, not so much coming off the injury, but to help build," Harris said. "We weren't always the best teams Philly, and we weren't always the best teams in Green Bay. ... So you help build by working, and the things that were passed on to me Ican pass on to the younger guys."

Like all other newly signed veterans around the league, Harris can't practice until the collective bargaining agreement is officiallyapproved.

But even in the handful of practices so far in camp, he has made his presence felt working with the other cornerbacks.

Bartell and Bradley Fletcher are the Rams' starting cornerbacks, and that won't change. But Harris might help on the field in the team'snickel and dime packages. And with all his experience and his willingness to share that knowledge, his role might best be described asplayer-coach.

"I think he's a great influence on the rest of the guys in that group, because he's been through it," Spagnuolo said. "He's been doing it along time. We put a lot of value on press corners, and Al has done that for a long time. So hopefully, by osmosis here, some guys willlearn something and he'll play some good football, too."

"If I had to say anything about it, it would have to be perseverance," Kendricks said. "You've got to come out here with your mind rightand ready to go. Definitely an eye-opener."

Cornerback Ron Bartell sprained his left ankle covering rookie wide receiver Greg Salas, but walked to the trainer's room and after X-raSpagnuolo characterized the injury as mild.

Players are getting the day off Wednesday, a planned break in the schedule to avoid further soft-tissue injuries. Bradford had a long workday planned.

"My day off? Film and study," Bradford said. "I've got to try to stay ahead."





Rams are set at tackle spots

BY BILL COATS

In 1982, St. Louis football Cardinals head coach Jim Hanifan bucked conventional wisdom by deciding to start rookies at both tacklepositions. It proved to be a good gamble.

Tootie Robbins and Luis Sharpe spent 12 seasons starting alongside each other with the Cardinals, here and in Arizona. Hanifan also waan offensive line coach in the NFL for many years, including six seasons with the Rams after they moved here from Los Angeles.

And when Hanifan sizes up today's young Rams tackles, Jason Smith and Rodger Saffold, he conjures up memories of Robbins andSharpe.

"I look at Smith and Saffold and I'm going, 'Hey, they've got two fellas that should be there for 10 years,'" Hanifan said. "They're going tget nothing but better and better and better."

Sounds good to rookie quarterback Sam Bradford.

"It's very comforting as a quarterback knowing that those two guys are going to be here for a long time," Bradford said. "I think theyimproved as the year went along; that was evident. By the end of the year, they were playing at a very high level. I feel very comfortablewith those two guys protecting me."

Smith, a 6-foot-5, 307-pound second-year pro out of Baylor, was a virtual rookie after missing half of last season with a knee injury andconcussion. The second overall selection in the 2009 draft, Smith made 15 starts — he sat out one game because of concussion symptom— at right tackle this year.

Saffold, a 6-5, 323-pound rookie from Indiana University, surprised by winning the left tackle job in the preseason, then starting all 16games there. He was the Rams' second-round draft pick (No. 33 overall).

The Rams' three other offensive linemen, center Jason Brown and guards Jacob Bell and Adam Goldberg, were in the lineup everySunday, meaning that the offensive line made 79 of a possible 80 starts. Thus, the Rams enjoyed a continuity there that had been lackingin recent years.

"When you're working together with the same group of guys, the communication's real good," Smith said. "It just makes everythingeasier."

The presence of veterans Brown, Bell and Goldberg on the interior was crucial, Saffold said. "They've helped us along the way," he said"We've got to give them a little respect as well."

Nevertheless, the Rams' future on the offensive line is firmly entrenched in Saffold and Smith.

"They have a bright future," running back Steven Jackson said. "To have the amount of starts they had, to be in some big-time games,especially the last two weeks, you hope that those things help them, not only for their skill but for their confidence, knowing that they caplay at a high level in big-time games against some key pass rushers."

When the Rams drafted Saffold, it figured that he would wind up at right tackle, with Smith moving to the left side. Instead, offensive lin

coach Steve Loney first tried Saffold at left tackle, and that's where he stayed.

"My goal was to be able to play. I also wanted to be able to play the left tackle position," Saffold said. "Once I did get the job, I wasecstatic. But I knew it came with a responsibility."

The left tackle is charged with protecting a righthanded quarterback's blind side. According to STATS LLC, Saffold, 22, gave up just 3½sacks and was penalized eight times, including six false starts, for 50 yards. Smith, 24, yielded four sacks and also was flagged for eightpenalties, with five false starts, for 56 yards.

Bradford was sacked 34 times; only 13 teams gave up fewer. In 2009, the Rams yielded 44 sacks, which tied them for 25th in the leagueThe improvement in quarterback hits also was significant, to 78 (tied for 20th) this season from 98 (tied for 30th) in '09.





Those numbers are even more impressive when considering that Bradford threw 590 passes, compared with 543 by Rams QBs lastseason.

At this point in their development, Saffold is regarded as a better pass blocker than run blocker; the opposite is true for Smith. So, there'plenty of room for improvement.

"We feel like we can focus in on being better in everything that we're doing," Smith said. Added Saffold, "There's so much to work on."

Still, the positives already far outweigh the negatives, Hanifan stressed.

"Both of them have really good feet, and they've both got very good recoverability; if they make a mistake, they're able to recover,"Hanifan said. "And then just go from there. I think they're both intelligent, both sharp guys. It was really cool to see the two of themoperate.

"If I'm Sam Bradford, I'm happier than all get out that I've got Jason and Rodger sitting right there. The three of them can grow togetherthink it's just a perfect deal."

Coach Steve Spagnuolo said Saffold "certainly exceeded anybody's expectations. And Jason, I thought he (improved) all year long. ... I'mhopeful it will be a cornerstone of what we're going to do here."

That's the plan, Saffold agreed. "I think we're going to be a force to be reckoned with," he said.

As soon as possible, he added.

"I think that that's something that we all look forward to, because we know that we're only going to get better," Saffold said. "If CoachSpags didn't tell us, 'Hey, rest, get your bodies right,' I'd probably be lifting and running today. That's just the type of person I am."





Rams wasted little time getting Justin Bannan

BY JIM THOMAS

The moment free agency opened in 2010, Justin Bannan's phone rang. It was Steve Spagnuolo on the line. The Rams head coach wantedBannan — then a Baltimore Raven — to come to St. Louis as an unrestricted free agent.

"Yeah, right at midnight he called me and we just had a good talk," Bannan said. "That was pretty cool. I didn't expect that."

Bannan ended up signing with the Denver Broncos, but like a spurned suitor, Spagnuolo wouldn't take no for an answer. When the 2011free agency period finally opened two weeks ago, Spagnuolo and the Rams went out early and hard once again after Bannan, a defensivetackle.

This time, the Rams got their man with Bannan signing a three-year contract worth $8.5 million. Back on the market as a salary capcasualty after just one season in Denver, several teams showed interest in Bannan. So why the Rams?

"The fact that they wanted me," Bannan said. "They really went out of their way to let me know that, and to me that goes a long way. Inmy view, you want to go where you're wanted. The coaches did a great job of reaching out to me early in the week (following the end ofthe lockout), and getting this thing going."

Bannan hadn't forgotten that phone call from Spagnuolo a year earlier, either.

"I knew that I was on their radar screen before I went to Denver," Bannan said. "I think having Coach (Josh) McDaniels come over andprobably vouch for me was also a plus."

McDaniels, the Rams' offensive coordinator, was Denver's head coach a year ago.

It's clear Spagnuolo must have seen something he liked on tape of Bannan, or he wouldn't have gone after him two years in a row.

"I guess so," Bannan said, laughing. "Hopefully, I don't disappointment him. It's nice to have the coach look out for you like that."

When it came to restocking the shelf at defensive tackle, the Rams didn't stop with Bannan. The team subsequently signed free agentDaniel Muir of Indianapolis, and a few days later, re-signed Gary Gibson.

"We're always looking for big guys," Spagnuolo said. "We've said all along, we're wanting to build this thing from the inside out, and bigmen were important."

The newcomers, Bannan and Muir, look the part. Bannan is 6-3, 310 pounds, and Muir is 6-2, 312.

Bannan, 32, is regarded as a no-nonsense, blue-collar type, but he's more than just a try-hard, high-motor guy. He's got some athleticismand has a quick first step off the ball which helps him get penetration on run defense.

"I would describe myself as a consistent football player in the NFL," Bannan said. "I pride myself on being a professional. I take my jobvery seriously. You don't have to tell me to do something twice.

"I think I play as hard as I can, play-in, play-out. And I'm not a selfish player. I'll sell out for the defense, to help the d-line out or the

linebackers out. You're going to see a guy that loves the game of football and goes out and gives it everything he has."

Like Bannan, Muir is a run stopper by trade, although Muir insists he can get to the passer.

"I didn't get an opportunity to pass-rush at Indianapolis, so I think here they'll be surprised to see that I can pass-rush with my size," Muisaid with a playful smile.

So you're a better pass rusher than given credit for?

"Something like that," Muir said.

Spagnuolo seemed genuinely amused when those comments were relayed to him.





"I'm going to trust him on that, that he's underrated (as a pass rusher)," Spagnuolo said. "We'll see how it goes."

But Muir, 27, knows he was brought here to stop the run. St. Louis finished 17th in run defense a year ago, after finishing 27th in 2009and 29th in '08. Spagnuolo obviously wants to do even better, even with last year's improvement.

"You've got to go out there and stop the run first," Muir said. "That's the most important thing."

Muir says it's emphasized more in the Rams' scheme than it was with the Colts.

"It's a lot different," Muir said. "I wouldn't say that Indy's not concerned with stopping the run, but here, it's keyed to stopping the run firand foremost."

Muir said the Colts didn't show much interest in re-signing him. He said he talked some to Denver and "a little bit" to Seattle. The Ramsobviously, liked him a lot, to the point where they wondered: "Are we missing something? Why aren't more people after this guy?"

"I've always been the underdog," Muir said. "It's always been that way for me. Coming up from high school, college, pros — everythingcame in as a rookie free agent; I've always had to work for what I wanted. ... Hey, the Rams saw my film, that's what's important."

In Bannan, Muir, Gibson, and Fred Robbins, the Rams now have four players on their roster who were primary starters for their respectiteams last season. Throw in returning squad members Darell Scott and Jermelle Cudjo, and there is plenty of competition at defensivetackle in camp.

"There's lots of competition, and I think that's how they wanted to set this thing up," said Bannan, who missed practice Wednesday aftertweaking his triceps muscle. "What's cool is everybody on the defensive line — it's a great group of guys.

"All I can do is go out there and bust my butt as hard as I can every day and try and get better."





Mikell a big hit with Rams

BY JIM THOMAS

Quintin Mikell grew up in Eugene, Ore., and dreamed of playing in the Pacific 10 Conference, specifically for his hometown OregonDucks. But he wasn't recruited by any Pac-10 schools.

Instead he starred at Boise State, earning conference defensive player of the year once and sharing those laurels another year. But he wenundrafted.

In the NFL, he didn't become a full-time starter until his fifth season with the Philadelphia Eagles.

So this is a player who has had to prove himself every step of the way. Nothing has been simply handed to him on the football field. Tosay he plays with a chip on his shoulder because of that may be overstatement, but there's no doubt he is driven.

"Obviously, it makes you look at the whole game completely different," Mikell said. "When you have to work for everything you get, itmakes you appreciate what you have. And it also makes you realize that if I don't keep working, there's going to be somebody else that'sgoing to outwork me."

As a result, Mikell says playing football — particularly at the NFL level — is a gift, not a birthright. And he approaches it as such.

His eight-year run with Philadelphia ended this offseason. Mikell turns 31 on Sept. 16, and the Eagles have a distaste for 30-somethingsso they didn't try to re-sign him in free agency.

"The writing was on the wall, so to speak," Mikell said. "I kind of had a feeling."

But for once in his football life, Mikell didn't have to wait his turn, prove his worth, lower his sights or swallow his pride. The Rams camafter Mikell immediately once the lockout ended, and came after him hard. On July 26, the first day teams could negotiate with freeagents, Mikell agreed to a four-year, $27 million contract with St. Louis. The first two years, which total $14 million, are guaranteed. Infinancial terms, it's the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award for Mikell. But it also symbolizes his journey in football.

"Me and my wife had talked about it," Mikell said. "It was very emotional, because it was a long, hard road. It's not over yet. But itdefinitely was a lot of heartache, a lot of ups and downs, going down that road.

"Feeling like you should be playing, and dealing with a whole bunch of different things. To finally feel appreciated was probably thebiggest thing. I'm not saying I wasn't appreciated in Philly, but to feel like I was wanted once I hit the open market, it was just perfect."

The Rams needed a safety to replace Oshiomogho Atogwe, and Mikell had a history with coach Steve Spagnuolo in Philadelphia.

"He's grown and matured from when I had him as a rookie (in 2003)," Spagnuolo said. "He was just a young puppy, his head wasspinning all over the place. He didn't even know what direction he was going in. But he went fast. That's what he did. Even when he wasrookie."

Mikell earned his spurs as a special teams player, twice being named the Eagles' special teams MVP. For most of those early years inPhilly, Mikell bided his time at safety, backing up Pro Bowlers Brian Dawkins and Michael Lewis. As a young player, Mikell looked upto Dawkins in particular, watching everything he did.

"Playing behind Mike and Brian for those years, I think helped him," Spagnuolo said. "Sometimes you get in this league and you getthrown into the fire too soon, and kinda get knocked back. But he was lucky in that he had time to grow."

More time than he wanted. But in 2007, the year Spagnuolo went to the New York Giants as defensive coordinator, Lewis signed withSan Francisco in free agency, opening up a starting job for Mikell in Philadelphia. Mikell made his mark almost immediately, earningsecond-team All-Pro honors in 2008 and 2010 and making the Pro Bowl in 2009.

When the lockout finally ended, and the free agency period began at the end of July, the first phone call Mikell got was from SpagnuoloSuffice it to say, Spagnuolo didn't have to give Mikell the hard sell.





"Once Spags called me, I was like, 'Yeah, let's go,' " Mikell said. "I was very excited. Because I know the defense, I know what he bringto the table, I love the way that he coaches. It'd be nice to help a program, an organization like the Rams, kinda get back to where theyused to be."

Mikell, 5-10, 203, can play both the free and strong safety positions and is a sure tackler. The Spagnuolo system seems to blur the

distinction between the two positions anyway. But in effect, Mikell is replacing Atogwe, who not only was one of the most productiveplayers on defense, but one of the more popular and well-respected ones in the locker room.

No one was closer to Atogwe than Rams cornerback Ron Bartell. But even Bartell already gives Mikell a stamp of approval.

"I don't think there'll be that big of a dropoff — if any," Bartell said. " 'Q,' he brings a totally different style. He's physical. You can playhim deep. He's very versatile. Honestly, I think he's one of the more underrated safeties in the NFL. Great locker room guy. He's been apleasure to work with so far."

Although the basics of the Rams' defensive scheme are the same as what Mikell learned in Philadelphia, it has evolved since then. He'spicking things up quickly, but Mikell said the scheme has more differences than he expected.

Nonetheless, he says: "I felt like I was molded for this defense. I can move around. I can cover. I can let the corners play. I can play manto-man. I can coach. So I can do a lot of different things. I think I'm just a rounded player for it."

Which explains, after all, why he's here.





Sims-Walker feels blessed to be with Rams

BY JIM THOMAS

Two hours-plus wasn't enough practice for Mike Sims-Walker. He stayed after 'school" Monday, catching passes from Sam Bradford atRams Park.

"It's critical right now, man," Sims-Walker said. "We're a little bit over a week away from the real deal. We've got to buckle down. ... Idon't think me and Sam are where we want to be, especially with the timing thing. We've still got some work to do."

As a newly signed veteran, Sims-Walker had to wait until the collective bargaining agreement was approved Aug. 4 before he couldpractice with his new team. And then he missed a couple of days after tweaking his groin in the preseason opener against Indianapolis.

Time is running out for the veteran wide receiver to get tuned up for the regular season, and as fate would have it, Thursday's final tuneuis in Jacksonville, where Sims-Walker spent his first four NFL seasons.

"It's definitely bittersweet," he said. "I still have that, I don't call it a chip, I call it a crack. I have a crack on my shoulder. A chip is not benough for what I got right now."

The chip, make that crack, on Sims-Walker's shoulder is because the Jaguars showed no interest in re-signing him. Of course, playing hiold team would have been more meaningful in the regular season.

"Yeah, definitely," Sims-Walker said. "I looked at the schedule when I signed, and I saw it wrong. I thought it was the first game of theregular season. I was excited."

Nope, merely the preseason finale, meaning Sims-Walker and the Rams' starting offense will play only about a quarter. The Jaguars mayhave seen enough after four seasons, but once the free agency period began at the end of July, the receiver-needy Rams jumped on SimsWalker quickly.

"We've always liked him," general manager Billy Devaney said. "He was nicked a little bit last year with an ankle (injury) that hamperedhim. He tried to play through it, but you could see that he wasn't 100 percent. The guy scored 14 touchdowns over the last two years, sohe's got some ability. That's what we were looking for — a bigger guy that can run a little bit."

Count running back Steven Jackson among those excited to see Sims-Walker in St. Louis.

"I had a chance to see Mike up close and personal when we played Jacksonville a couple years ago," Jackson said. "He's a dynamicplayer, and he brings not only competition but credibility with being a starter in this league. He had a chance to work personally withTorry Holt for a year down in Jacksonville. He understands the art of running routes and getting open."

Sims-Walker said Holt, the longtime Ram, was a mentor and a father figure during their 2009 season together in Jacksonville.

"I called Torry up as soon as I agreed (to terms)," Sims-Walker said.

What did Holt tell him about St. Louis?

"He said it's home of the wide receivers," Sims-Walker said. "That was the first thing he said."

Sims-Walker didn't arrive as a total stranger to the Rams. He has known Jackson for a while. And he spent part of the offseason trainingwith fellow wideout Donnie Avery in Houston. "We did a lot of speed work on the track in Houston," Sims-Walker said.

The Rams may be excited to have Sims-Walker, but the feeling is mutual — and then some.

"They don't know how excited I am to be here," he said. "This is a blessing. I call it the perfect situation. I wouldn't want to be nowhereelse."

Why perfect?





"Sam Bradford. Josh McDaniels. The wide receiver corps that we do have," Sims-Walker said. "Very underrated. I promise you. Veryunderrated. I train with some of the best receivers in the game. I've seen a lot, I've studied a lot of the best receivers in the game. Trust mthese guys are right there. We've just got to get it together, go out here and grind every day, compete with each other, and we'll be fine."

Jacksonville was more of a run-oriented team during Sims-Walker's tenure there. In 2010, the Jaguars were one of only four teams in the

NFL that ran the ball more than it passed.

"Here, we spread it around a lot more," Sims-Walker said. "It's a receiver's dream with Josh McDaniels at the helm at OC. He throws theball. That's all he stresses is putting stress on the defense."

When drafted in the third round of the 2007 draft out of Central Florida, he was known simply as Mike Walker. But he changed his namto Sims-Walker after his father — Michael Sims — died of colon cancer Dec. 6, 2008.

"That was very devastating for me because my dad was like my everything," Sims-Walker said.

He started the Mike-Sims Walker Foundation in 2010, with the dual purpose of educating people on the prevention of colon cancer andproviding support for those affected by the illness.

Maybe it's mere coincidence, but Sims-Walker's career took off after the name change. He missed his entire rookie season with a kneeinjury. Knee problems plagued him again in '08, when he played in nine games and caught 16 passes as Mike Walker.

But as Sims-Walker in 2009, he broke out with 63 catches for 869 yards and seven TDs. Slowed by a nagging ankle injury last season, hfinished with 43 catches for 562 yards and seven TDs.

"I think when I'm healthy I'm one of the best guys to play this game," he said.

With a fresh start in St. Louis, he'll try to show that this season.





Williams is solid in Jackson's absence

BY BILL COATS

Since his high school days back in Attalla, Ala., Carnell Williams has been known as Cadillac because of his smooth running style. Stillif you referred to him as a Chevy now, Williams wouldn't be insulted.

"You know, a Chevy is not bad," he said, laughing. "A Chevy is a dependable car."

When the Rams called on him Sunday after running back Steven Jackson left early with a thigh injury, Williams proved to be dependablAnd then some.

"That's not easy, to come in early in a game like that when Jack does down and (Williams is) asked to play as many snaps as he did,"quarterback Sam Bradford said. "But I thought he did a great job. He ran hard, he had a great presence in the huddle, and I think the guyreally kind of fed off him when he did come in there."

The 5-foot-11, 204-pound Williams, signed in early August as a free agent, piled up 91 yards on 19 carries in the Rams' 31-13 loss toPhiladelphia. Another free-agent pickup at running back, Jerious Norwood, added 10 yards on three carries as the Rams rushed for 154yards.

Williams totaled 140 yards of offense, tacking on 49 receiving yards on six catches. Overall, the Rams advanced 5.6 yards every timeWilliams touched the ball.

"It's good to have a good backup; we sleep a little bit easier," guard Jacob Bell said. "Your second-string guy is a starter in the league anyou can count on him. That's really big."

Williams, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2005 draft, started 67 games during six seasons with Tampa Bay. He lost his first-team job torookie LeGarrette Blunt last season, and the Buccaneers deemed him expendable.

Their loss was the Rams' gain, coach Steve Spagnuolo noted.

"Good move by Billy (Devaney, general manager) and his staff," Spagnuolo said. "Cadillac has been great since he got in here from thestandpoint of being a team player and knowing his role and knowing what he had to do. He stepped right in there, and we didn't skip a

beat."

Jackson raced 47 yards for a touchdown on the first snap of the first possession of the season for the Rams. He left after carrying for 9yards on the opening play of the next series.

Williams, 29, was ready to go when Jackson couldn't.

"Obviously any time you lose Jack it's frustrating, because he is a great player and his presence on the field changes things in thedefense," Bradford said. "But to know that we've got two guys behind him that can come in and keep the level of play very high, it's realreassuring as a quarterback to know that."

Williams recalled the advice he receiving during training camp.

"I can remember Coach just came to me one day and said, 'Cadillac, just stay ready. Because in this game of football, you just never knowhat could happen. Your snaps could go from 10 to 50,'" Williams said. "So mentally, I just stayed ready."

Bradford pointed out that the Rams didn't trim back their offensive approach with Jackson out. "We didn't alter anything. We kept ourgame plan the same," Bradford said.

Williams accounted for 45 yards — 17 rushing, 28 receiving — on a seven-play, 63-yard drive that culminated in a 23-yard Josh Brownfield goal late in the third period and cut the Philly lead to 24-13.

"It was just good to go out there and get some action," Williams said. "But just not getting the 'W' ... your individual stats really don'tmatter."





After six generally productive seasons with the Bucs, Williams has proved his value in the NFL. Still, he'd like to re-emphasize hisviability.

"I feel like I have a lot of football left in me," he said. "I do want to establish myself as a guy who can get the job done. Every time I getmy chance, I'm out there doing my best. But that's just me."
