Kickoff is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. Both teams are looking to rebound from tough road losses in Week 2. The Rams dropped a 28-16 decision to the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, while Baltimore fell to the Tennessee Titans, 26-13, in Nashville. The Rams and Ravens have met four times since the inception of the Baltimore franchise in 1995, and the series is tied, 2-2. The home team has won each of the previous four meetings. DE Chris Long

THE HEAD COACHES STEVE SPAGNUOLO
JOHN HARBAUGH
NFL Coaching Year: 13th year Rams Head Coach: 3rd year Regular Season: 8-26 (.235) Postseason: 0-0 (.000) Steve Spagnuolo enters his third season as head coach of the St. Louis Rams. In 2010, Spagnuolo’s team made a six-game improvement from 2009, finishing in second place in the NFC West. The six-game swing marked the second best turnaround in the NFL from 2009 to 2010. The Rams finished with a 5-3 home record, the first home winning record since 2004. In addition, the Rams improved their team net turnover ratio from -13 in 2009 to +5 in 2010. The Rams forfeited only six fumbles, the second fewest in the NFL. Spagnuolo’s 2010 Rams made considerable improvements in all three phases last season. Defensively, the Rams jumped 10 spots in total defense in 2010. On the offensive side of the ball, the Rams averaged 7.2 points per game more in 2010 than in 2009, largely by playing smart football that saw the team rank tied for eighth with 21 turnovers last season. Spagnuolo came to the Rams after a stellar career as defensive coordinator of the New York Giants and was the architect of the defense that shut down the high-octane New England Patriots in the Giants’ stunning 17-14 win in Super Bowl XLII. Spagnuolo spent eight seasons (1999-2006) with the Philadelphia Eagles, serving as defensive assistant/safeties from 1999-2000, defensive backs coach from 2001-03 and linebackers coach from 2004-06. From 1999-2005, the Eagles played in four NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl. Spagnuolo coached for 18 years in the college ranks and in professional football in Europe before joining the Eagles. Spagnuolo served as defensive line/special teams coach with the Barcelona Dragons of the WLAF in 1992 and was defensive coordinator/linebackers coach for NFL Europe’s Frankfurt Galaxy in 1998. A wide receiver at Springfield (Mass.) College from 1978-81, Spagnuolo coached collegiately at Massachusetts (1982-93), Lafayette (1984-86), Connecticut (1987-91), Maine (1993-94), Rutgers (1994-95) and Bowling Green (1996-97). Spagnuolo also worked as a pro personnel intern for the Washington Redskins in 1983 and as a scout with the San Diego Chargers in 1993. A native of Whitinsville, Mass., Spagnuolo is married to wife, Maria.

NFL Coaching Year: 14th year Ravens Head Coach: 4th year Regular Season: 33-17-0 (.660) Postseason: 4-3 (.571) John Harbaugh is in his fourth season as the Ravens’ head coach and after leading the club to the playoff in each of his first three years at the helm. Harbaugh, who established a reputation as one of the NFL’s top special teams coaches, is the third head coach in team history. Coach Harbaugh arrived in Baltimore with 24 years of pro and college coaching experience, including the previous 10 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was the Eagles’ special teams coach from 1998 through 2006 and headed Philly’s secondary in 2007. Harbaugh’s Philadelphia special teams were consistently ranked among the NFL’s best. From 2000-05, Philly’s units finished in the top 10 in five of those seasons in the comprehensive special teams rankings. In 2001 and 2003, the Eagles ranked No. 1 according to the Rick Gosselin composite (includes 22 kicking-game categories). Following the 2001 season, Harbaugh was voted the NFL’s Special Teams Coach of the Year by his peers. Harbaugh, a graduate of Miami (Ohio) – where he played defensive back – is from a football family. His father, Jack, is a 41-year coaching veteran who won the 2002 NCAA Division I-AA football championship as the head coach at Western Kentucky. His brother Jim, who was the Ravens’ starting QB in 1998, played 14 seasons in the NFL and is the current head coach at Stanford. (Their sister Joani is married to Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean.) Among John’s 24 years of coaching is a two-year stint as the assistant head coach at the University of Cincinnati (1995-96). (The Bearcats finished 6-5 both seasons.) John coached 10 years on offense and four on defense at the college level, launching his coaching career in 1984 at the age of 21 as a graduate assistant for his father at Western Michigan. In his second position at the University of Pittsburgh (1987), he was mentored by the legendary Sid Gillman, a Pro Football Hall of Famer. John also coached the TEs at Pitt under head coach Mike Gottfried. While at Cincinnati (1989-96), Harbaugh coached special teams, TEs, OLBs, RBs and was also the recruiting coordinator. John was part of a staff that helped Cincinnati produce three out of four winning seasons (1993, 1995-96) for the first time in 20 years. “Harbs” also coached one season at Indiana in 1997 as the DBs coach/special teams coordinator under Cam Cameron, the Ravens’ current offensive coordinator, and one year at Morehead State in 1988 as the DBs coach/special teams and strength and conditioning coordinator.

RUSHING TOUCHDOWN HISTORY RB Steven Jackson provided the Rams with their first touchdown of the 2011 season when he raced 47 yards for a score on the team’s first offensive play against the Eagles in Week 1.
There are only two running backs in the NFL who hold the franchise rushing record for the team that they currently play for: Jackson and Carolina’s DeAngelo Williams. Jackson rushed for 56 yards on just two carries in Week 1, including a 47-yard RB Steven Jackson touchdown run on the team’s first offensive play of the game, before a quad injury kept him out of the final three quarters as well as last week’s game. His 56-yard performance in Week 1 gave Jackson 8,004 for his career. Among active running backs, Jackson ranks fourth in career yards.
Jackson’s score was his 48th rushing touchdown of his career, pulling him within 10 of Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson’s franchise record and within eight of another Hall of Famer, Marshall Faulk, for second on the team’s all-time list. RB Steven Jackson

CENTURY MARK RB Steven Jackson is currently tied with Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk for the second-most 100-yard rushing performances as a Ram. SJ39 reached the century mark four times last season to give him 27 such games in his career.
Jackson finished eighth in the NFL and third in the NFC in rushing in 2010. Since becoming a starter in 2006, Jackson posted yearly rushing totals of 1,046, 1,528, 1,002, 1,042 and 1,416 yards in addition to his 2010 total. Consecutive 1,000-Yard Rushing Seasons In Rams History Consecutive Seasons Years Steven Jackson 6 2005-10 Eric Dickerson 4 1983-86 Marshall Faulk 3 1999-2001
Jackson needs 11 100-yard games to tie Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson, who rushed for 100 yards in 38 games, for the most in team history. In his eight-year career, Jackson has never faced the Ravens. He was inactive when the teams met in 2007.
SIX IN A ROW With 1,241 yards in 2010, RB Steven Jackson became the first player in Rams history to record six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. His streak of six straight 1,000-yard rushing seasons is the longest active streak in the NFL.

JACK OF ALL TRADES
CATCHING ON Throughout his career RB Steven Jackson has shown the ability to catch passes out of the backfield and while lined up at receiver. In addition to leading the team in rushing last season, Jackson ranked third among Rams in receptions (46). With 327 career catches, Jackson ranks ninth in team history in the category. He needs just six catches to tie Jim Phillips for eighth on the team’s all-time list. Since 2006, Jackson has registered 265 receptions for 2,161 receiving yards (8.2-yard average). During that time, Jackson’s 265 receptions rank second among all NFL running backs and his 2,161 receiving yards rank fourth.

RB Steven Jackson has shown the ability to contribute in the rushing game and in the receiving game. Since the start of the 2006 season, Jackson leads the NFL with 117.3 yards from scrimmage per game. Since 2006, Jackson has 1,757 touches for 8,446 yards. His touches and scrimmage yards are the most over that time period. Last season, Jackson ranked third in the NFC and ninth in the NFL with 1,624 RB Steven Jackson scrimmage yards. He gained 56 yards in Week 1 before leaving the game with a quad injury. In 2010, Jackson averaged 101.5 scrimmage yards per game, marking the fifth consecutive season he’s averaged at least 100 yards from scrimmage per game. The streak dates back to his first year as an NFL starter in 2006. He averaged 145.9 scrimmage yards per game in 2006. In 2006, Jackson recorded 2,334 yards from scrimmage, the fifthhighest single-season total in NFL history. That season Jackson rushed for 1,528 yards and 13 touchdowns on 346 attempts. He added 806 yards receiving on 90 catches. The 90 catches rank sixth in NFL history in one season among running backs. Yards From Scrimmage/Game Leaders, 2006-Present

A WORKHORSE BACK Throughout his career, RB Steven Jackson has been the definition of a “bell cow” back as he’s willingly carried a sizeable workload for the Rams. Last season was no exception, as few in the NFL handled the football more than Jackson.
With 64 total yards in Week 8 against Carolina (59 rushing, 4 receiving), Jackson passed WR Henry Ellard for fourth in franchise history in yards from scrimmage. In Week 10, Jackson became the fourth Ram and 80th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career scrimmage yards. Last season, Jackson ranked third in the NFC and ninth in the NFL with 1,624 scrimmage yards.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER
SLINGIN’ SAM BRADFORD 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 interceptions 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 Ravens, who also feature a young quarterback who had a stellar rookie season not long ago. Below is a look at Joe Flacco’s statistics during his 2008 rookie season compared to those of Bradford last season. Comp.% Yards TDs INTs Rating Joe Flacco Sam Bradford

QB Sam Bradford made his mark on the NFL record books with a spectacular season that turned out to be one of the best ever by a rookie quarterback. Bradford set NFL rookie records for completions (354) and attempts (590), and his 3,512 passing yards in 2010 are the second most by a rookie in NFL history, trailing only Peyton Manning’s 3,739 in 1998. Bradford’s 18 touchdowns are tied for fifth most among rookies in NFL history. The top overall pick in last year’s draft is one of just three rookie QB Sam Bradford quarterbacks in NFL history to pass for 3,000 yards in a season. During a midseason stretch, Bradford set an NFL rookie record with 174 consecutive attempts without an interception. Bradford was named Offensive Rookie of the Year by The Associated Press.

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.
JUST WIN, BABY! During his standout rookie season, Rams QB Sam Bradford saw his name attached to numerous NFL rookie records. While proud of his statistical accomplishments, 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.

TAKE IT AWAY Steve Spagnuolo’s swarming defense is predicated on takeaways and pressure, and the Rams have become adept at forcing turnovers.
SACK ATTACK The Rams were one of the best teams in the NFL when it came to getting after the quarterback in 2010, and they’re off to a good start in 2011 as well. St. Louis has recorded three sacks in each of its first two games this season, and the team’s total of six is tied for sixth best in the NFL. DE Chris Long leads the way with 2.0 sacks. Long finished second among Rams in the category last season with 8.5, while James Hall, who recorded dropped Eli Manning Monday night for his first sack this season, paced the team with 10.5.
Last week against the Giants, S Quintin Mikell ended New York’s opening drive when he intercepted Eli Manning. In Week 1 vs. Philadelphia, the Rams ended an Eagles drive when Mikell sacked Michael Vick and forced a fumble, which LB James Laurinaitis recovered. Mikell’s interception last week marked S Craig Dahl the eighth-consecutive game in which St. Louis has recorded at least one takeaway, tied for the fifth longest active streak among NFL teams. Last season, the Rams’ second under Spagnuolo, St. Louis finished the year with 26 takeaways, which was six more than the Rams had in 2009. Rams defenders intercepted eight passes in 2009 and had 14 in their second season under Spagnuolo. The Rams forced 19 fumbles as well, which was the fifth most in the NFL according to StatsPass.com. St. Louis finished last season plus-5 in turnover ratio, which was 10th best in the NFL. In 2009, the Rams finished the season tied for 30th with a minus-13 turnover ratio, a plus-18 swing in turnover ratio.
In 2010, the Rams recorded 43 sacks on the season as a team, which ranked seventh in the NFL. St. Louis saw a dramatic improvement when it came to reaching the opposing quarterback. In 2009, the club ranked 30th in the NFL with 25 sacks. No team in the NFL experienced a bigger increase in sacks last season than the Rams’ 18. Detroit also enjoyed an 18-sack increase, while Kansas City (+17) and the New York Giants improved by 14 sacks. 2010 NFL Leaders, Team Sacks Team 1. Pittsburgh Steelers 2t. Green Bay Packers 2t.

GET OFF THE FIELD! The Rams’ ability to get off the field on third down defensively was a crucial part of their success in 2010, and St. Louis was clutch on third down last week in New York.
WELCOME ABOARD S Quintin Mikell, who signed with the Rams as a free agent this summer, has provided an immediate impact on St. Louis’ defense.

The nine-year veteran has provided a takeaway in each of his first two games in St. Louis.

Last week in New York, Mikell ended the Giants’ opening drive of the game when he intercepted Eli Manning deep in New York territory.
S Quintin Mikell celebrates an interception with LB Ben Leber.
Mikell, who spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Eagles, boasts career totals of 5.0 sacks and 11 interceptions. Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo was Mikell’s position coach during Mikell’s first NFL season and in all, the two spent four seasons together in Philadelphia.
LONG ON TALENT
A HALL OF A PLAYER
DE Chris Long is off to a hot start in 2011 as he’s picking up from where he left off a year ago.
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.
Long has picked up a sack in each of the Rams’ first two games to give him 2.0 on the season. He’s now recorded at least one sack in 9 of his last 13 games. Monday marked the seventh time Long has recorded a sack in back-to-back weeks during his four-year career.
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.
According to StatsPass.com, Long was credited with 36 combined quarterback hits and knockdowns last season, which tied with Seahawks DE Chris Clemons for the ninth most
DE Chris Long
in the NFL last season. In Week 6 against San Diego, Long turned in his first two-sack performance of the season and second of his career. For his efforts, Long was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
ROCKIN’ ROBBINS 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.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE LB James Laurinaitis led all NFL rookie linebackers in tackles in 2009, and he followed up his stellar rookie campaign with a strong performance 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.
The Rams’ opening day roster featured nine veteran free agents, and they can only hope they’ll make the impact that DT Fred Robbins did as a new addition last year. Robbins, who had a tackle for loss last week against the Giants, set a new career high with 6.0 sacks in 2010 and had a big impact on the Rams defense. He held off blockers to allow James Laurinaitis to run free, and his pass rush acumen drew the attention of opposing offenses and helped his defensive line mates. Among NFC defensive tackles, only Ndamukong Suh (10) and Cullen Jenkins (7) had more sacks last season than Robbins’ 6. Saints DT Sedrick Ellis also had 6. On the season, Robbins had 24 total tackles, including four for loss, eight quarterback hits and seven passes defensed. He was a big reason why the Rams saw a big improvement against the run and on third down. Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New York Giants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo was the Giants’ defensive coordinator. It’s no coincidence that those two campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins’ career as he tied his previous career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New York’s run to their Super Bowl XLII championship.
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.
Rams DT Fred Robbins drops Seattle RB Justin Forsett for a loss. After joining St. Louis as a free agent last spring, Robbins made a big impact on a much-improved Rams defense in 2010.
DOWNTOWN JOSH BROWN
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.
K Josh Brown is among the NFL’s best when it comes to kicking from long distance. 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, K Josh Brown 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 from 50-plus yards, most among kickers during that time. His 68.3 percentage on field goals of 50 yards or more is second best since ‘03.

Brown set a new career high with 33 field goals made in 2010, passing his previous best of 31 in 2008. Brown scored 125 points as well, third best in the NFC and sixth in the NFL among kickers.
FLETCH BOUNCES BACK 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 interceptions, 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. CB Bradley Fletcher 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.
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 net punting average (40.0). P Donnie Jones
Jones’ specialty is pinning opponents deep in their own territory. He tied for fifth in the NFL with 32 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yard line last season. The Rams signed Jones as a restricted free agent prior to the 2007 season, and during his time in St. Louis, Jones ranks third among NFL punters in gross average and second in net.

BLOCK PARTY Last April, the Rams were thrilled to find Indiana T Rodger Saffold available at the top of the second round. St. Louis chose Saffold with the 33rd overall pick and quickly inserted him in the starting lineup. Saffold has now started all 18-consecutive games to start his career. Last season, he was the only rookie left tackle to start every game for his team last season. According to Statspass.com, Saffold allowed only 3.5 sacks all season while playing for a team that tied for the fifth most passing attempts. Saffold was named to Pro Football Weekly’s AllRookie team last year.
SIMS-WALKER’S BIG NIGHT Rams WR Mike-Sims Walker made a big impact for St. Louis in Week 2 as he narrowly missed recording his eighth 100-yard game of his career. Sims-Walker, who signed with the Rams in August after four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, led the Rams with six catches against the Giants and posted 92 receiving yards ver- WR Mike Sims-Walker sus New York, and average of 15.3 yards per catch. Four of his six catches last week went for first downs.
T Rodger Saffold
Saffold was the fifth offensive tackle and seventh offensive lineman taken in the 2010 draft.
FRONT AND CENTER C Jason Brown has anchored the Rams’ offensive line since his arrival in the spring of 2009, and he’s been a model of consistency throughout his seven NFL seasons.
The Rams signed Sims-Walker in hopes that he’d give the team a big-play presence. He caught seven touchdown passes in each of the last two seasons as he was Jacksonville’s go-to receiver.
QUINN NOTCHES FIRST SACK Rams first-round draft pick Robert Quinn saw his first NFL action Monday night in New York and delivered his first NFL sack in the process. Quinn, the 14th overall selection in April’s draft, dropped Eli Manning for an 8-yard loss in the third quarter to give him his first sack as a pro.
Brown has started 78 consecutive contests, which is the fifth-longest longest active streak among NFL centers. He’ll likely move to fourth this week as one of the players ahead of him, Jets C Nick Mangold, is expected to miss some time with an ankle injury.
Getting to the quarterback was Quinn’s specialty in college. As a sophomore in 2009 at North Carolina, he was the runner up for the ACC’s Defensive Player of the Year award as he recorded 11.0 sacks for the Tar Heels.
DE Robert Quinn
ALEXANDER THE GREAT WR Danario Alexander saw his first action of the 2011 season last week in New York, and he turned in a career-best performance against the Giants.
Brown, who this week will face the C Jason Brown team that drafted him in 2005, hasn’t missed a start since entering the Ravens’ starting lineup in 2006, his second NFL season.
Alexander caught three passes for a careerhigh 122 yards and a touchdown. His night included a 68-yard catch and run. The play was the longest catch of Alexander’s career and was also the longest completion of QB Sam Bradford’s career.
During his career, Brown has blocked for three different 1,000-yard rushers: Steven Jackson (1,416 in 2009 and 1,241 in 2010), Jamal Lewis (1,132 in 2006) and Willis McGahee (1,207 in 2007). Brown was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2009.
“RUNNING SMOOTH” RB Carnell “Cadillac” Williams was given his nickname by a high school broadcaster in Alabama who described Williams as a back that “ran so smooth” like a Cadillac.
The performance allowed Alexander to go over the 100-yard mark for the first time in his career. Last season, he turned in games of 99 yards vs. San Francisco and 95 yards at Denver. WR Danario Alexander
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED The Rams signed 24 undrafted rookie free agents this summer, and from that group, LS Jake McQuaide made the team’s Week 1 roster. McQuaide, a former Ohio State Buckeye, won the team’s long snapping job in training camp.
Williams signed with the Rams as a free agent in August to backup Steven Jackson. In the team’s 2011 opener, Jackson suffered a quad injury in the first quarter, and Williams was smooth in deed while playing in place of the three-time Pro Bowler. RB Cadillac Williams
Williams rushed for 91 yards on 19 carries and caught 5 passes for 59 yards against the Eagles. His rushing total was his highest since Williams gained 129 yards in the 2009 regular season finale for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His five receptions against Philadelphia tied Danny Amendola for the team lead.
Current Rams WR Dominique Curry and S Darian Stewart made the opening day roster after joining the team as undrafted rookie free agents last year. Other current Rams such as S James Butler, OL Adam Goldberg, DT Gary Gibson and S Craig Dahl are among dozens of current NFL LS Jake McQuaide players who have experienced success after going undrafted.

The Rams faced the New York Giants in their first Monday Night Football game in five years, losing the contest 28-16. Prior to this game, the Rams had fallen even on Monday Night Games, totaling a 27-27 record beginning in 1968. The Rams jumped out to a early 3-0 lead after a S Quintin Mikell interception set up a 21-yard field goal by K Josh Brown. On the ensuing possession, the Rams forced the Giants into a three-and-out, but rookie PR Greg Salas muffed the punt and the Giants recovered. The fumble recovery led to a 3-yard touchdown pass from QB Eli Manning to WR hakeem Nicks to give the Giants a 7-3 lead. The Rams pulled within one point when Brown hit his second field goal of the night, but LB Michael Boley recovered a RB Carnell Williams fumble and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown, giving the Giants a 14-6 lead. The Giants scored again before halftime, a 22-yard touchdown reception by WR Domenik Hixon. The Rams made a field goal on their first possession of the second half, while the Giants answered with a 9-yard touchdown run by RB Brandon Jacobs. With less than two minutes left to play in the third quarter, QB Sam Bradford connected with WR Danario Alexander for a 19-yard touchdown, bringing the score to 28-16. Neither team scoed in the final period. The touchdown reception was one of three for Alexander on the night, which netted him a career-high 122 yards. The performance marked the first time the Rams have had a 100-yard receiver since Mark Clayton caught 10 passes for 119 yards against Arizona (9/12/10). The completion was one of 22 for Bradford for a career-high 331 yards. The last time the Rams had a 300-yard passer and a 100-yard receiver was when QB Gus Frerotte passed for 311 yards and WR Torry Holt gained 135 yards receving vs. Atlanta (12/2/07). First-round draft pick DE Robert Quinn made his first sack of his career, bringing down Manning in the third quarter for an 8-yard loss. Veteran DEs James Hall and Chris Long also added a sack a piece.

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. Louis Rams general manager Billy Devaney looks more prepared to use that surfboard leaning against the wall in his office than he is to dive into 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 into a contender -- 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 coach Steve 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 staying power. 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 on Turf, 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 for the Lombardi Trophy. They have Devaney and Spagnuolo, two sharp men, even if they are opposites in terms of demeanor, running things. They have the franchise 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-bum persona.

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 has done 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 two drafts 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 to expectations 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 to show 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, it had 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 Devaney. "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 on the 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 by nickel 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 the 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's really 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 Reid in 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 locker room 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 said. "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 a conversation 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 franchise around. 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 quarterback and 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 noticed right 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's made 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 a rookie. 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, anywhere, 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 play to 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 might need 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. Last year, 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 and Spagnuolo.

"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 in and out," Jackson said. "I built my legacy around here on being a tough, hard-nosed player. It's unfortunate the majority of the carries have 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 has played 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 1,000 yards 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 tough times, 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 been though 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 talk that 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 the numbers. 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 fifth seasons. 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 free agents, but most of their kids are from the organization. They draft well, earmark the guys they want to keep around, and then win with them. 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 in 2010. 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 had some 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 this year. 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 a successful 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 awesome performance 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 Justin Tuck, they fielded the best defensive front in football, No. 1 on the groundbreaking Defensive Hog Index we use at ColdHardFootballFacts.com to rank each NFL front seven. That unit proved its ranking was justified by dominating New England's offensive 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's 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 just one win away from making the postseason. In fact, their regular-season finale loss at Seattle was a de facto playoff game -- the winner earned 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 certainly a steady and largely unflappable hand at quarterback, especially by the standards of a first-year player. But the truth is Bradford was not a difference-maker last year. It was the St. Louis defense -- and its Defensive Hogs in particular -- that brought the dreadful Rams of 2009 to 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) in the passing game and ability to get off the field on third down. No team in recent history rocketed up the Defensive Hog Index faster than Spagnuolo'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 at forcing 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 Hog Index. 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, and making 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 2010 Rams 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 league. Spagnuolo's system certainly deserves some credit.

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). Meanwhile, defensive tackle Fred Robbins, an 11-year veteran who played for Spags in New York, also had a career year, with a personal best 6.0 sacks. Spagnuolo has proved his devotion to the position by doubling down on Defensive Hogs in his own drafts. He drafted James Laurinaitis in the second round of the 2009 draft, and the Ohio State product has started all 32 games at middle linebacker for the rapidly improving Rams 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 a dominating 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 season was 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 defense following 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 line of 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 1995 that 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 berth or 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 momentum builder 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" with interceptions 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 on interception returns. Making sure we're blocking the right guys. Making sure we get to the near sideline. We really have kind of fallen short 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's arrival in 2009. The overall talent level and depth has improved on that side of the ball. Many of the core players are entering the third season 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 job of 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? How do 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 and early 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 six seasons 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-react scheme. "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, 'Man, I wish 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 I am."

Continuity helps Poppinga may be new in the scheme but six of the 11 defensive starters have been in this defense since Spagnuolo was hired in 2009. Two other starters, defensive tackle Fred Robbins and safety Quintin Mikell, worked in this system previously with Spagnuolo, with the New York Giants and Philadelphia, respectively. "Our learning curve is smaller this year than it's been in the past because philosophically and schematically we really haven't changed since we've been here," said Flajole, who was part of Spagnuolo's first Rams staff. "Maybe we're accentuating the detail of every assignment a little bit more because I think we've gone through the basics of what guys do. Guys know what we expect out of calls, where they're supposed to be." On the field, it starts up front. Spagnuolo loves pass rushers, and doesn't hesitate to line up three or even four ends at the same time in obvious passing situations. A dominant front can mask lots of shortcomings on the back end in coverage. And with a dominant front, you don't have to "invent" pressure with blitzes, leaving cornerbacks isolated in single coverage. "As you know, the receivers and the quarterbacks are so good in this league," Flajole said. "If you play too much 'single-high' coverage in this league or single one-on-one coverage, sooner or later they're going to win. They're going to get open; they're going to win. Now, if you can play more 'split-safety' zone (like a Cover 2 look) and still generate a pass rush with four men, then I think you're onto something." At times last season, the Rams were able to generate a pass rush with just four men. This season, the addition of rookie Robert Quinn could help even more. "James Hall is a phenomenal 'd-end,' " newly signed defensive tackle Justin Bannan said. "Chris Long is a great player, both against the run and the pass rush. I mean, this guy, he's just starting to turn it on. It's cool to be around guys like that." "Earning the right" The Rams face plenty of potent passing attacks in 2011, starting with Michael Vick and the Eagles, and including Drew Brees and the Saints, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, and Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers. But even in a passing league, you still have to stop the run. It's difficult to unleash an all-out pass rush if it's second-and-5, or third-and-2. "We always say that you earn the right to rush the passer on third down," Flajole said. "And if you can't get 'em into third down (and long), all those pass rushers that you have on the edge — they don't make a difference for you." So while adding a potentially elite edge rusher in Quinn, the Rams fastidiously added bulk to their front seven at the same time in run stuffers like Bannan at tackle, plus bigger outside linebackers in Poppinga and Ben Leber. "We felt like we wanted to make sure that we were a little stouter inside and had more depth, and we've done that," Flajole said. "We wanted to be a little thicker at linebacker. We've done that." On paper at least, the result is a defense with brains, brawn, quickness, and fewer holes than past units. It's a defense intent on moving into the upper tier in the NFL. "The biggest thing to me that I've noticed is that everyone's kind of flying under the radar," Mikell said. "There are some very good players on this defense that many people probably don't know about; some guys on this defense that can flat out play. Hopefully this will be a breakout year where people start to take notice."

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 are true. 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 a football 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 to keep 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 bit more 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 elder McDaniels went 134-42 at powerhouse McKinley High in Canton, winning a state title. He later coached Maurice Clarett at Harding High. 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 to the 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 England, or learned the Patriots' offense from Charlie Weis, he learned football from his father. And Thom McDaniels wasn't just a football coach, he 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, where he'd watch practice and study film. Legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler was a big influence; so was former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel. "Maryland, West Virginia, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Minnesota," Thom McDaniels said. "I've gone all over the place to get answers and 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 at John Carroll University in suburban Cleveland. (One of McDaniels' college teammates was London Fletcher, the former Rams linebacker now 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 I ever took or any year of schooling that I was ever involved in. Because you get to learn about adversity and teamwork and leadership and working 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 Louisiana State 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 that Michigan 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 month at the NFL scouting combine. He split his time doing grunt work for Pioli in the front office and grunt work for Belichick and the coaching 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 the offenses 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, then we 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 months earlier 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 was close — 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, were totally 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 at Notre Dame, McDaniels began calling plays. At age 29. He wasn't officially given the title of offensive coordinator until the following season. 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 the Denver 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 had illegally taped a San Francisco walk-through practice prior to a game in London, McDaniels was fired with four games left in the 2010 season. 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 as Rams offensive coordinator. He has a No. 1 overall draft pick at quarterback in Sam Bradford and a two-time Pro Bowl running back in Steven 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 backup running 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 agency from Denver. "This guy knows football like no other. He knows the offensive side, and he knows the defensive side. He knows football pretty 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 the game. 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 another touchdown 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've got 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, more explosive, more productive. Which all sounds pretty basic. On the other hand, trying to pigeon-hole McDaniels' offensive philosophy is trickier. 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 end catch more than 36 passes only once. In comparison, last year's top tight end in St. Louis (Daniel Fells, now with the Broncos) had 41 catches. 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 in 2008, 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 in rushing. 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 that week 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. Other times 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 the tight 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 every week. 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 bunch formation 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 opposing defense 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 running the 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 into that 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 and that coverage and so forth," Thom McDaniels said. "Because everything has a weakness. Everything has a strength. And if we understand the strength and understand the weakness, then we'll attempt to expose the weakness and to attack the weakness to the extent that we can. We'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 beat other team's offenses, and how our rules worked against certain people," McDaniels said. "When I did transfer over (to offense), a lot of that 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 your players aren't good enough, there's nothing in the playbook that can help. And certainly nothing in the NFL Football Encyclopedia, either.

Cohesion is key for Rams’ linemen BY JIM THOMAS Were this a normal spring, the Rams would be completing the fifth week of their offseason conditioning program. Obviously, with "lockout" and "litigation" being the buzzwords of the day, this is not a normal spring. Players aren't allowed at Rams Park, and aren't allowed to have any contact with their coaches or the team's athletic trainers. But with the help of team player rep Adam Goldberg, Rams offensive linemen have organized their own workout sessions at a St. Charles fitness facility. "We train on Tuesdays and Thursdays together as a group," Goldberg told the Post-Dispatch. "That way we get some camaraderie and cohesiveness that everybody who knows anything about football knows is important for our group. So we train together twice a week, and then most of us train there at other times during the day on a one-on-one basis with Matt (Pirtle)." Pirtle and his wife, Angie Nation-Pirtle, are owners of the facility — Emerge Fitness. Matt Pirtle has been Goldberg's personal trainer for the last several years. And now, under the current lockout conditions, "Matt is essentially the offensive line trainer," Goldberg joked. Besides Goldberg, a guard/tackle, the workout group at various times includes tackles Rodger Saffold and Jason Smith, center Jason Brown, center/guard Hank Fraley and tackle Ryan McKee (a member of the practice squad last season). "And we also have other people that are on the team — they train there as well," Saffold said. "To me, it's just all about staying in condition. And even though this is not a good time (in the NFL), still take advantage of it and be able to use it because we have a promising season ahead of us." So Saffold, who played better than expected as a rookie left tackle, feels he's getting in the necessary work, lockout or not. But he concedes it's not quite the same as having everybody around at Rams Park. "It's kind of weird, kind of awkward, just going around St. Louis and knowing that everybody could've been here at one point," Saffold said. "And now you see everybody has to do different things at different places." At the skill positions, for example, many of the Rams' receivers just happen to be from Texas, particularly the Houston area. Included in that group is tight end Fendi Onobun. He has been working at the Plex Performance fitness center in the Houston area. Wide receiver Danario Alexander is a regular there, and Danny Amendola comes in from time to time as well. Onobun said the normal workout regimen consists of agility work, conditioning, weight lifting and catching footballs from the JUGs machine. Onobun also does some pool workouts on his own. "Something easy on the joints, kind of get a different type of conditioning in," he said. "I'm just trying to stay in shape because I have no idea when they're going to call us (back to work). But I want to make sure I'm ready." Onobun said the possibility of doing more practice-type work, specifically catching passes from Sam Bradford, remains a possibility. Such field work normally doesn't take place until the beginning of May anyway, because that's when the minicamps and practice sessions known as OTAs (short for organized team activity) begin. "With having everybody here in the Houston area like myself and Donnie (Avery) and Danny and Danario, and Sam right upstairs so to speak in Oklahoma, we're definitely trying to put something together," Onobun said. In addition, wide receiver Mark Clayton is from the Dallas area. The offensive line sessions began the first week of March, which was the week when the collective bargaining agreement was scheduled to expire. The NFL Players Association decertified a week later — on March 11 — at which time several players filed a class-action suit against the league, and the league locked out the players. Once the NFLPA decertified, a tactic the league contends is a 'sham," Goldberg said his title changed from player rep to player director. "We're no longer a union, so we're player directors of a class that is in the middle of class-action litigation," Goldberg said.

Regardless of the title, Goldberg is the last man standing on the Rams' NFLPA depth chart. The team's two alternate player reps — safety Oshiomogho Atogwe and fullback Mike Karney — are no longer with the team. Even Goldberg's status is iffy because his contract has expired. He's eligible for free agency, whenever there is free agency. "So technically, the Rams don't have any (NFLPA) representation," Goldberg said, laughing. "But you know what, until they tell me otherwise I'm a Ram. And until they tell me otherwise, I have a responsibility to the guys who elected me (player rep) — the guys in that locker room." During the offseason, Goldberg has tried to keep his teammates informed on the labor situation. "I've answered a lot of phone calls, and answered a lot of personal e-mails," Goldberg said. "We're really lucky here in St. Louis to have a great group of guys that are actually extremely bright. So it makes my job a lot easier and a lot less frustrating. Obviously, there's been a lot to keep people up to date about." As for his own free-agent status and the uncertainty that might bring, Goldberg said he hasn't really thought about it. He's one of hundreds of pending free agents in the league whose contract statuses are in limbo during the lockout. "The decision tree is pretty clear for me," Goldberg said. "First, I have to make sure that there's an industry, and then I'll worry about my position in that industry."

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 that Sam 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 dealing with the scrutiny of teammates and legions of hard-bitten pro football wise guys who are not easily impressed — young Mr. Bradford passed 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 interception. He 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 verge of 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 leadership of this team — his team — is now complete. And just in case you were wondering, he is not looking for modest, incremental improvement 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. Louis with 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 best childhood 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 last season), 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 almost like 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 of stories, 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 start of 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 the golf course, right after the first or second hole, everything changed," Bradford says. "As soon as someone took a one-stroke lead, we stopped 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't coming," 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 do whatever 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 extinguish 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 were friends 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 it 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 a competitive badge of honor, particularly when he explains that he can't really think of a circumstance growing up where he would cut a friend 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 is another 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 he is 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 to championship 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 even think 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 that are 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 on piling 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 Bradford was 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 like you'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 supervised mini-camps and organized off-season team activities. That meant that there would be no intense instruction from coaches on McDaniels' new offensive system. But before the lockout began, Bradford received a playbook from McDaniels and on his own took a crash course in 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 country conducting off-season workouts from St. Louis to Norman, from Houston to Phoenix, Bradford's teammates began to notice that the quiet and 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 no coaches around to make sure that these makeshift OTA's and mini-camps had the same sense of urgency that supervised workouts would have 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 was recently cut. "Sam was some of everybody. He went from being Coach Spags to Mickey D (McDaniels) to being (receivers coach Nolan) Cromwell. 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 wide receivers aside and said 'Hey we need this (pattern) run here, and we need this (pattern) run there.

point, not this point. Do this, do that.' Sam knew exactly how he wanted everything run. And for all this (offensive system) being so brand new, 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 10 years 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 rookie who 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, you know, 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 could have 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 who comes in humble, and willing to learn, willing to listen, especially with the amount of money these guys are being paid nowadays. So it was 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.1 overall 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 spoken up 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 not something 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 else was 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 on people 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 I going 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 he observed his young quarterback. "That's been really an exciting thing for me to see," says McDaniels. "He is a little bit more reserved in certain 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 he gets 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 he 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 games last year where coach Steve Spagnuolo wanted to take Bradford out of the game, once when the head coach was trying to protect the kid from getting battered by the defense and once when the coach thought the kid wasn't playing well. Both times Bradford barked back at Spags 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 coach ever 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't care 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 one of 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 on the 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 to be a top-tier quarterback. The Rams were a game away from winning the NFC West after going 1-15 in 2009, so the natural assumption is that 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 team are 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. Our expectations 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 game from 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. We didn'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 now and 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 like it." 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 to rub 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 James Laurinaitis 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 will change. 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 season, one 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 reads. That 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 Jimmy Clausen 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 say risky," 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 part, especially 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 in going through the progressions that's where I guess what can appear to be riskier throws happen. They're really not. They're just taking what 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, the Browns hired Shurmur away to be their head coach. Josh McDaniels replaced him. McDaniels was fired as coach of the Denver Broncos, but he brings a reputation as a good offensive mind. The new offense will have more formations. It will have more throws down the field -- be more wide open.

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 learning another 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 not tired 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 out 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 Bradford did well last season. "I enjoy watching the interaction between Josh and Sam and seeing how intense Sam is at getting everything down perfect," Spagnuolo said. "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 run this 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 good start. 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 with what 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 next week'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 nod at 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 saying was, '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'm here 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't believe 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 the Eagles, Spagnuolo's upbeat persona gave way to his more pragmatic side. In reviewing what went wrong against the Eagles, he isolated their 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 a 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 a vicious 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 players appreciate 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 points with the media and fans by berating players publicly. These diatribes are entertaining, but they tend to damage the trust between player and 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 deal 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 in negativity 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 the fabric 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'm here, 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 for the 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 with his 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 come over 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 to appreciate 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 Grandpa Leo.

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 were killed 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 no normal 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'd set 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 his faith. "I was pretty young, confused, searching for answers," he said. "And I remember thinking about why my life was saved that night. And why 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 while. But 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 come around, 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 Philadelphia they shared an office. Frazier, a devout Christian, helped Spagnuolo clear his head during long talks at night, after the football work was done 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 that is 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 how lucky 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 led him 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 life from 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 Duke University'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, two years before the talented University of North Carolina pass rusher would become the first-round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams. Here he was, two years removed from being told rather clinically that he had a tumor growing in his head and that soon he potentially could end up 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 Miles moment (in the movie "Friday Night Lights") when they told him he would never play football again. I looked at my mom and just lost it." But Quinn was one of those medical miracles Nancy Butters prays for every day. He was lucky because the doctors not only discovered that his tumor was benign, soon after an operation to shrink the tumor and reduce the swelling to his brain, Quinn was back playing sports and 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 player named 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 young to have survived something like this like Robert had. And you could understand completely if the last thing he wanted to do would be to go into an environment where everyone around him was acting as a reminder of what he'd gotten through. It could have been the last thing he 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 for accepting "illegal benefits" from an unscrupulous South Florida jeweler, and maybe you're wondering if the Rams have brought some sort of 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 the things 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 what I 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 town of Spring Lake when a 5-foot-5, 170-pound running back at Pine Forest High School near Fayetteville named Lavelle Sloan was rushed to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center with blurred vision, severe headaches and vomiting. The 18-year-old Sloan underwent tests that revealed 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 his parents and listened as doctors and social workers tried to explain what was wrong. They called it a grade 4 glioblastoma, a malignant cancerous growth that is aggressive and difficult to eradicate. But when you are an 18-year-old kid with a lifetime of dreams floating in your head and some stranger in a white coat starts such sobering conversations, surely all you can hear are the most frightening fragments.

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 his way 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 was watching a UNC football game on television with his father, Randy McLaughlin, when they heard the commentators talking about Robert Quinn 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 with severe 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 night he 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 up, and 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 they discovered a benign tumor on the right side of his brain just above his forehead. He underwent emergency surgery to reduce the size and remove 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 never play 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 tumor) was 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 sports again, 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 and was 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 wrestling title again." Lavelle Sloan heard that part of the story, and he knew he had to meet Quinn. Nancy Butters remembers the conversation she had with him 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. He showed 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 to their first-ever college football game, and during warm-ups he was allowed on the field. Quinn came across the field and brought a few of his 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 make it 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 in there 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 an invitation to visit the team as Quinn and the Tar Heels prepared for a bowl game against Pittsburgh. The first round of chemotherapy wasn'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 offensive lineman. 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, he got 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 ceremony his 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 going through." A week later, officials from his high school presented Marilyn Sloan with her son's diploma and his football jersey. She buried him in his 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 were talking 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 how much 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 way I 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 schemer with 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 year for 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 overall pick in 2008 is bringing heat after long ago vowing never to surrender to expectations to live up to father Howie Long's Hall of Fame resume. 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 to creating 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 is complemented by an improving defense. Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan won a Super Bowl in 2007 under Spagnuolo and knows exactly how important Long 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 made plays 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. But you 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 started in 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 back with 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 against Kansas City.

Long figures to see less of the incessant holding by offensive linemen give the interior line additions of Bannan and former Indianapolis Colt defensive tackle Daniel Muir plus former Green Bay Packer Poppinga and former Minnesota Viking Leber upgrading the unit's two outside 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 many people 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 Poppinga and (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, the competition 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 go out 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 worn himself 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 was named 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 rookie year, 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 the Rams 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 a playoff 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 in Denver 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 in years 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," he said. "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 a 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 the possible 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. His respect 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 at cornerback. 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 at the line of scrimmage, breaking up passes, with his trademark dreadlocks flapping in the breeze. He was the quintessential in-your-face cornerback. But Harris suffered a severe left knee injury in 2009 during a late November game against San Francisco. He missed the rest of that season, 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 a Super 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 from back 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 overlapped with 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 them until 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. Just this 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 in 2009. Even at his advanced football age, Harris said other teams showed interest in signing him this summer, but his mind was set on the Rams from 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 in 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 I can 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 officially approved. 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's nickel and dime packages. And with all his experience and his willingness to share that knowledge, his role might best be described as player-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 a long 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 will learn something and he'll play some good football, too."

Kendricks making quick impact for Rams By R.B. FALLSTROM While the St. Louis Rams wait for top pick Robert Quinn to recover from a knee injury, their second-rounder is fitting in nicely. Tight end Lance Kendricks has been working with the first unit. The former Wisconsin star said coming out of a complicated system in college has helped him pick up new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' playbook pretty quickly. He has both size and speed at 6 feet 2 and 240 pounds and with a 4.49 40-yard dash time, so could stretch defenses from the middle of the field. "I'm kind of used to the terminology and lingo. They're kind of the same, so I try to take the similarities and apply them," McDaniels said. The Rams' top pass-catching tight end last season, Daniel Fells, signed with the Broncos. Quarterback Sam Bradford's favorite target this summer was Billy Bajema, given both are from Oklahoma City, but Bajema is more of a blocking tight end with only 14 receptions last season. Kendricks has the potential to be both, and more. Already in training camp, he's also lined up at fullback and in the slot. "Kind of like I did in college. I'm used to that, which is good," Kendricks said. "I'm picking up the offense a lot better than I thought I would." Not acting much like a rookie, either. "I'm trying not to get nervous or anything, just get out there and act like it's college all over again and just be calm," Kendricks said. "That's how you do it." Bradford has been impressed with Kendrick's energy level and his physical play. "I think he's probably taken more reps than anyone in our offense," Bradford said. "It seems like every time I look out there he's in there." Coach Steve Spagnuolo said earlier in the week that Quinn, a defensive end from North Carolina who was the 14th pick of the draft, could be on the field soon. Quinn injured the right knee earlier this summer. "I think the knee's coming around, there's a little bit of conditioning we've got left to do," Spagnuolo said after practice Tuesday night. "He's chomping at the bit to go, but we're kind of pulling him back now." Before training camp, McDaniels said he might have to scale back things at the start and ease players into an offense they've never run because of the lockout. The lack of two-a-days is another reason. "I think we've got to try to force them to learn, and they want to learn," McDaniels said. "We'll push and see how quickly they can learn and pick it up, and if we need to halt things a little bit then we'll do it." McDaniels didn't think training camp would necessarily be a lot more difficult for young players. "I think that they'll learn what we want to do here and hopefully pick it up quickly," McDaniels said. "To me, they're all new, so I've got that advantage in terms of looking at them with a fresh set of eyes, seeing what they can do and hopefully putting them in a great position to succeed." Kendricks' college numbers weren't eye-popping, just 62 catches for 914 yards and six touchdowns as an occasional threat at a school that's a lot bigger on the run. Wisconsin averaged 221 yards rushing last season, but Kendricks had back-to-back 100-yard games as a senior against Arizona State and Austin Peay. Perhaps the biggest challenge thus far for Kendricks has been the heat and humidity. The temperature was in triple digits for the first fullpad workout Monday.

"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 right and 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-rays Spagnuolo 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 work day 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 tackle positions. 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 was an 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 and Sharpe. "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 to get 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 they improved 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 comfortable with 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 and a concussion. The second overall selection in the 2009 draft, Smith made 15 starts — he sat out one game because of concussion symptoms — 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 16 games 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 every Sunday, meaning that the offensive line made 79 of a possible 80 starts. Thus, the Rams enjoyed a continuity there that had been lacking in recent years. "When you're working together with the same group of guys, the communication's real good," Smith said. "It just makes everything easier." 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 can play 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 line 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 was ecstatic. 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 3½ sacks and was penalized eight times, including six false starts, for 50 yards. Smith, 24, yielded four sacks and also was flagged for eight penalties, 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 league. The 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 last season. 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's 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 them operate. "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 together. I think 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'm hopeful 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 Coach Spags 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 wanted Bannan — 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 2011 free agency period finally opened two weeks ago, Spagnuolo and the Rams went out early and hard once again after Bannan, a defensive tackle. 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 cap casualty 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. In my 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 of the 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 and probably 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 agent Daniel 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 big men 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 athleticism and 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 job very 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," Muir said 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 2009 and 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 first and 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 Rams, obviously, 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 — everything. I came 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 respective teams last season. Throw in returning squad members Darell Scott and Jermelle Cudjo, and there is plenty of competition at defensive tackle 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 after tweaking 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 Oregon Ducks. 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 went undrafted. 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. To say 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, it makes 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's going 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-somethings, so 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 came after Mikell immediately once the lockout ended, and came after him hard. On July 26, the first day teams could negotiate with free agents, Mikell agreed to a four-year, $27 million contract with St. Louis. The first two years, which total $14 million, are guaranteed. In financial 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 it definitely 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 the biggest 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 was spinning 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 was a rookie." Mikell earned his spurs as a special teams player, twice being named the Eagles' special teams MVP. For most of those early years in Philly, Mikell bided his time at safety, backing up Pro Bowlers Brian Dawkins and Michael Lewis. As a young player, Mikell looked up to 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 get thrown 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 with San Francisco in free agency, opening up a starting job for Mikell in Philadelphia. Mikell made his mark almost immediately, earning second-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 Spagnuolo. Suffice 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 brings to 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 they used 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 productive players 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 play him 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 a pleasure 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's picking 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 at Rams 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. ... I don'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 could practice 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 tuneup is 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 big enough 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 his old 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 the regular 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 may have 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 hampered him. 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, so he'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 dynamic player, and he brings not only competition but credibility with being a starter in this league. He had a chance to work personally with Torry 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 training with 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 nowhere else." Why perfect?

"Sam Bradford. Josh McDaniels. The wide receiver corps that we do have," Sims-Walker said. "Very underrated. I promise you. Very underrated. 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 me, these 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 the ball. 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 name to 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 and providing 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 knee injury. 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, he finished 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. Still, if 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 dependable. And 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 guys really 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 to Philadelphia. Another free-agent pickup at running back, Jerious Norwood, added 10 yards on three carries as the Rams rushed for 154 yards. Williams totaled 140 yards of offense, tacking on 49 receiving yards on six catches. Overall, the Rams advanced 5.6 yards every time Williams 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 and you 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 to rookie 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 the standpoint 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 9 yards 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 the defense," 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 really reassuring 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 know what 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 our game 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 Brown field 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't matter."

After six generally productive seasons with the Bucs, Williams has proved his value in the NFL. Still, he'd like to re-emphasize his viability. "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 get my chance, I'm out there doing my best. But that's just me."
