ANDY REID
NFL Coaching Year: 13th year Rams Head Coach: 3rd year Regular Season: 8-24 (.250) 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: 20th year Eagles Head Coach: 13th year Regular Season: 118-73-0 (.618) Postseason: 10-9 (.526) During his tenure as Eagles head coach, Andy Reid, 50, has earned NFL coach of the year honors twice, compiled the best win total (118), winning percentage (.618), and playoff victory total (10) in team history. He has captured six division titles and five trips to the NFC Championship game. Among coaches with 100 games under their belt, Reid’s winning percentage is 2nd among active coaches (Bill Belichick). Reid is the longest tenured head coach in the NFL. Reid came to the Eagles after spending seven seasons as an assistant coach with Green Bay under Mike Holmgren. During that span, the Packers reached the playoffs six times and defeated New England in Super Bowl XXXI. In his 20-year NFL coaching career, Reid’s teams have made the playoffs 13 times (19-12 record in those games). He has coached in the Super Bowl three times, in the NFC Championship game eight times, and in the Pro Bowl five times. Reid enjoyed a two-year stint as the Packers quarterbacks coach, working with Brett Favre from 1997-98. A tackle and guard at Brigham Young University from 1979-81, Reid entered the coaching ranks as a graduate assistant under LaVell Edwards in 1982. It was at BYU that Reid met and worked with Holmgren, who served as the quarterbacks coach. Reid next moved to San Francisco State in 1983 and helped them lead the nation in passing and total offense three consecutive years (1983-85). He went on to develop quality offensive lines at Northern Arizona, Texas-El Paso, and Missouri. Raised not far from Dodger Stadium, Reid was a devoted fan of both the Dodgers and Rams (Merlin Olsen and Deacon Jones in particular). He went on to attend John Marshall High School in LA and Glendale (CA) Junior College (where he was inducted into that school’s Hall of Fame in 2003) before matriculating to Brigham Young University where he earned both a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a master’s degree in professional leadership in physical education and athletics.

RUSHING TOUCHDOWN HISTORY

In Week 10, Jackson became the fourth Ram and 80th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career scrimmage yards.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER
A ROOKIE NO MORE Sam Bradford, the top overall pick in last year’s draft, was the only rookie quarterback to start all 16 games in 2010. Bradford led the Rams to a 7-9 record while passing for 3,512 yards with 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Bradford is one of just a handful of NFL quarterbacks to start 16 games as a rookie. Below is a look at how Bradford fared in his first NFL campaign compared to other NFL signal callers who were first-round draft picks and played as rookies.

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.
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.

IRON SAM Rams QB Sam Bradford didn’t miss an offensive play last season, making him one of just three quarterbacks in the NFL to be on the field for all of his team’s snaps in 2010. Baltimore’s Joe Flacco and Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning were the other two. In addition, Bradford is one of just four rookie quarterbacks in NFL history to handle all of his team’s snaps in a 16 game season. The other three are Peyton Manning (1998), David Carr (2002) and Matt Ryan (2008).
QB Sam Bradford
TURNOVER STORY Turnovers can often tell the story in the NFL, and they certainly painted a big portion of the picture for the 2010 Rams.
OFFENSE ON THE RISE Last season, the Rams’ offense made great strides in the most important statistical category, which led to the team winning six more games than it did in 2009. Although St. Louis had no significant changes at the wide receiver, tight end and running back positions, the Rams scored 114 more points in 2010 than they did in 2009, an increase of 7.2 points per game.
St. Louis was 6-1 last season when they won the turnover battle. St. Louis committed just 21 turnovers this season, tied for 8th fewest in the NFL. The Rams committed 33 in 2009.
The jump was a significant one for St. Louis. Among NFL teams, only Oakland experienced a greater increase in points scored in 2010.
The Rams were aided by superb ball protection from their player who handles it most often. When RB Steven Jackson lost a fumble in Week 14 in QB Sam Bradford and C Jason Brown New Orleans, it was his first lost fumble in 562 touches. He’s lost just 14 fumbles in 2,205 career touches. As a team, St. Louis lost just six fumbles in 2010, tied for the second fewest in the NFL on the year.

PROTECTION PLAN One year removed from allowing 44 sacks, the Rams kept their quarterback upright at a much better rate in 2010. Sam Bradford was dropped by opponents just 34 times last season. The 10-sack decrease was the sixth-best improvement in the NFL over 2009 team totals. Making the single-year improvement more impressive is the fact that the team accomplished the feat with both a rookie quarterback and rookie left tackle in Rodger Saffold. The T Jason Smith team’s starting right tackle, secondyear pro Jason Smith, entered the season with just five career starts under his belt. No team in the NFL had fewer combined starts at the right tackle, left tackle and quarterback position than the Rams did going into 2010, yet St. Louis still enjoyed an increase of 7.2 points per game offensively. The Rams finished the season ranked 12th in the NFL in sacks per pass play at 5.76 percent, a dramatic improvement over their 8.1 rate in 2009, which ranked 25th in the NFL. A leading cause for the offensive line’s success was its consistent health and continuity. St. Louis’ five opening day starters on the offensive line combined to miss just one start in 2010.

QB Sam Bradford and RB Steven Jackson combined to help the Rams become one of the NFL’s most improved offenses in the NFL last season.
BUILDING A WINNER Rams General Manager Billy Devaney was promoted to his current post prior to the 2009 season, and in three short years, he’s put his handprint on a roster that helped St. Louis become one of the NFL’s most improved teams a year ago. Devaney’s first two drafts as the team’s G.M. produced five current starters - QB Sam Bradford and LT Rodger Saffold from 2010 and RT Jason Smith, CB Bradley Fletcher and MLB James Laurinaitis from 2009. General Manager Billy Devaney
In addition, Devaney oversaw the signing of 14 of the team’s current starters via free agency, a group that is highlighted by RG Harvey Dahl, DTs Fred Robbins and Justin Bannan, C Jason Brown and OLBs Ben Leber and Brady Poppinga. Another Rams starter, WR Brandon Gibson, was acquired by Devaney via trade. Devaney enters his 27th NFL season and has been a part of three teams that have reached the Super Bowl, including the Super Bowl XXII champion Washington Redskins.
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.
SACK ATTACK Pressure on the quarterback has always been a trademark of a Steve Spagnuolo defense, and the Rams were among the NFL’s best at getting to the passer 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 last season when it comes 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.
St. Louis finished the season ranked second in the NFL on third down as opponents converted just 33.5 percent against the Rams. In Week 16, the 49ers con- S Craig Dahl and DE C.J. Ah You stop Knowshon verted just 4-of-16 (25 pct.) on Moreno short of the marker on third down in Denver. third down, and in the Rams’ first meeting with San Francisco last season, St. Louis held the 49ers to 0-of-11 on third down. The Rams’ performances against San Francisco was one of many strong ones by the Rams when it came to third down defense. Their Week 13 win in Arizona, one that saw the Cardinals convert just 1-of-11 (9 pct.) on third down, marked the fourth time in 2010 that they held their opponent to 12 percent or less on third down. In Week 4, Seattle converted just 4-of-15 on third down (27 pct.) and was 0-for-6 in the second half. In Week 12 at Denver, the Broncos were just 1-of-9 on third down (11 pct.). Steve Spagnuolo’s defense held Washington to 1-for-10 (10 pct.) on third-down conversions in Week 3.
St. Louis was paced by DE James Hall, who in his 11th NFL season turned in his second highest total of his career. Hall led the team with 10.5, followed by DE Chris Long with 8.5. 2010 NFL Leaders, Team Sacks Team 1. Pittsburgh Steelers 2t. Green Bay Packers 2t. Oakland Raiders 2t. San Diego Chargers 5.

TAKE IT AWAY Steve Spagnuolo’s swarming defense saw an increase in takeaways last season, which played a major factor in each of the team’s seven wins. St. Louis finished the season 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.
DE James Hall drops Philip Rivers for one of his two sacks in Week 6. Hall had two of St. Louis’ seven sacks in the team’s win over San Diego, and the Rams had 43 as a team in 2010.
ACCESS DENIED The Rams were one of the stingiest teams in the NFL when it came to protecting their end zone in 2010. St. Louis gave up just 32 total touchdowns in 2010, tied for fourth fewest in the NFL. Opponents scored just seven rushing touchdowns against the Rams, which was also tied for the fourth fewest in the league. The Rams have allowed just one touchdown in each of their first two preseason games. LB James Laurinaitis

Two weeks ago in their preseason opener, the Rams recorded three interceptions which led to a touchdown and two field goals in their 33-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. St. Louis finished the year 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.

PASSING THE TEST
A HALL OF A PLAYER DE James Hall’s 11th NFL season was one of his best for the veteran leader of St. Louis’ defense. He led the team with 10.5 sacks on the year and has also recorded 57 tackles, including two for loss. Hall also led the Rams and tied for second in the NFL with six forced fumbles in 2010. In the Rams’ Week 16 win over San Francisco, Hall recorded 2.0 sacks in a game for the third time last season. His other two came in Week 4 against Seattle and Week 6 versus San Diego. Hall now has 57.0 career sacks. His 10.5 sacks was his secondhighest single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). He finished the season ranked ninth in the NFC in sacks.
The Rams defense showed vast improvement in several areas last season, and one of the biggest statistical jumps St. Louis made came in opponent passer rating. After finishing 31st in the NFL in 2009 as opposing passers posted a 96.9 rating against the Rams, Steve Spagnuolo’s group was 9th in the league in the category in 2010. Opponents’ passer rating against St. Louis was 80.4. The drop off came in large part to a pass S James Butler rush that finished seventh in the NFL in sacks. Also, only six teams allowed fewer touchdown passes than the Rams last season, which had a big impact on opponents’ ratings. NFL Leaders, Fewest Touchdowns Allowed
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 Donovan McNabb in Week 3.
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 came off the field as he played in a team-high 1,093 snaps in 2010, and his ability to help in the passing game was 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. On Denver’s final drive in Week 12, the Broncos targeted TE Daniel Graham deep down the field, but Laurinaitis got a hand in and knocked the ball loose to help preserve the victory. In Week 8, he ended Carolina’s opening possession with an interception.

SHORT YARDAGE SUCCESS Both offensively and defensively, the Rams were among the league’s best last season when it came to short yardage situations. On offense, St. Louis converted an 80.8 percent of its 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1 opportunities, the second highest mark in the NFL. The league average was 65.8 percent. Defensively, the Rams allowed opponents to convert just 53.8 percent of DT Fred Robbins such situations, third best in the NFL and well above the league average of 65.8 percent.
MARKED IMPROVEMENT Defensively, the Rams were among the most improved teams in the NFL in 2010.
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.
St. Louis finished in the top 10 in the league in sacks (7th), third down defense (2nd) and total touchdowns allowed (4t). In addition, the Rams experienced significant increases over 2009 in several key areas. St. Louis ranked 12th in points per game allowed (20.5) after finishing 31st a year earlier (27.3). In all, the Rams allowed 108 fewer points in 2010 than they did in 2009.
Defensive Coordinator Ken Flajole
The Rams improved 10 spots in total defense as they ranked 19th in 2010 after finishing 29th in ‘09, and they ranked 17th against the run (113.1 yards per game), compared to 27th in 2009 (137.6).
LONG ON TALENT DE Chris Long enjoyed a breakout season in 2010, his third NFL campaign, and he hopes for an even more productive year in 2011. Long posted a career-high 8.5 sacks on the season and recorded at least 1.0 sack in seven of his last 11 games. Additionally, he led the Rams with 16 quarterback hits and 21 pressures according to Rams’ coaches. According to StatsPass.com, Long was credited with 36 combined quarterback hits and knockdowns, which DE Chris Long tied with Seahawks DE Chris Clemons for the ninth most 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.
A BIG ADDITION The Rams’ opening day roster features 11 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 set a new career high with 6.0 sacks on the season 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.
DANDY DANNY In his first season with the Rams, WR Danny Amendola set new team records in the return game. In year two in St. Louis for Amendola, he became a key component of the offense as well. Amendola led the Rams with 85 receptions for 689 yards in 2010. He finished ninth in the NFL and fifth in the NFC in catches last season. He also averaged 11.3 yards per punt return. In 2009, his first season on an NFL roster, Amendola caught 43 passes for 326 yards in 14 games. He surpassed both totals by midseason in 2010 and added three touchdowns as well. In addition, Amendola was one of the league’s best on third down. His 29 receptions on third down were third most in the NFL in 2010. 2010 NFL Leaders, Third-Down Receptions 1. Roddy White, ATL 2.

The former Texas Tech Red Raider led the NFL in all-purpose yardage in 2010 with 2,364 yards. Amendola was the only player in the league to lead his team in punt return, kick return, and receiving yardage. Amendola’s 85 catches this season ranked 13th in Rams history for a single season. He’s caught at least one pass in every game since joining the Rams in Week 2 of the 2009 season, a streak of 30 consecutive games with a reception.
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.
WR/PR Danny Amendola gave the Rams a boost on offense and in the kicking game in 2010. His 85-catch performance was one of the best in team history.
GIBSON’S GRABS WR Brandon Gibson set new career highs last season with 53 receptions for 620 yards. Both totals ranked second among Rams. He looks to build on those totals as he enters his third NFL campaign and second full season with the Rams.
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.
The Rams are hopeful that Gibson provides a big-play spark this season. In the team’s second preseason game against the Titans, Gibson caught an 83-yard WR Brandon Gibson touchdown pass from QB Sam Bradford on the first play from scrimmage. It was the longest preseason play from scrimmage since the Rams moved to St. Louis in 1995.
DOWN TOWN JOSH BROWN
KICKING IT Midway through the season, Rams RB Steven Jackson and K Josh Brown showed up to practice wearing blue t-shirts that read, “Vote Don Jones for Pro Bowl 2010.” The shirts were special ordered by teammate Hank Fraley as Rams players voiced their opinion on which punter should represent the NFC in Hawaii.
K Josh Brown is among the NFL’s best when it comes to kicking from long distance. In the Rams’ preseason opener vs. Indianapolis, Brown hit a 60-yard kick on the last play of the first half, which would have set new personal and team records had it come in the regular season. Brown’s career long is 58 yards, while Jeff Wilkins holds the Rams record of 57. K Josh Brown
Brown was a perfect 6-for-6 on field goal attempts in the preseason, including a 42-yard game-winning kick on the final play of regulation against Tennessee. 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. 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 (45), Morten Andersen (40), John Kasay (40), Jason Elam (39) and Sebastian Janikowski (29) - all but Janikowski played at least nine 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 active kickers during that time. His 68.3 percentage on field goals of 50 yards or more is second best since ‘03. Most 50+ yard Field Goals Since 2003 (active kickers) 50+ FG Pct. Josh Brown 28 68.3 Sebastian Janikowski 25 52.1 Jason Hanson 24 70.6 John Kasay 19 51.4 Neil Rackers 19 50.0 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). Fletcher’s road back wasn’t an easy one. CB Bradley Fletcher 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 eventually named an alternate to the All-Star game after another strong season. He finished eighth in the NFL and fourth in the NFC with a gross punting P Donnie Jones 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). 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. In Week 10 in San Francisco, Jones turned in perhaps his most impressive single game performance of his career. He punted 10 times for a 43.7 average and didn’t allow a single punt to be returned, making him the only punter in the NFL last season to produce a game with 0 return yards on nine or more punts. The Rams signed Jones as a restricted free agent prior to the 2007 season, and during his time in St. Louis, Jones ranks second among NFL punters in gross and net average.

RETURN TO SENDER WR Danny Amendola led the Rams in receiving in 2010, and his versatility also served St. Louis well in the return game. Amendola averaged 11.3 yards per punt return last season, sixth best in the NFC and 12th best in the NFL. He gave the Rams a big-play boost and helped the club gain advantageous field position. Amendola had seven punt returns of 20 yards or more last season, second only to Chicago’s Devin Hester, who finished the year with nine.
WR/PR Danny Amendola
In just two seasons, Amendola ranks fourth in Rams history in kickoff return yards (2,760), ninth in punt return yards (812) and third in combined return yards (3,572).
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 started all 16 games in 2010, making the former Hoosier 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.
McDANIELS: I’M LOVING IT When Steve Spagnuolo went in search of a new offensive coordinator this spring, his mind immediately went to a man whom Spagnuolo found among the most difficult in the NFL to game plan against. That led to the hiring of Josh McDaniels, who matched wits against Spagnuolo in Super Bowl XLII when Spagnuolo and the Giants defeated McDaniels’ Patriots. Wherever McDaniels has been, his offense has produced. During McDaniels’ first season in Denver, QB Kyle Orton set career highs for pass attempts, completions, passing yards, touchdown passes and passer rating while tying his career low for interceptions.
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 six NFL seasons.
In 2010, the Broncos ranked seventh in the NFL in passing yards per game and finished 13th in total yards per game. WR Brandon Lloyd led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,448 and finished second in the AFC with 11 touchdown catches en route to his first Pro Bowl invitation. Under McDaniels’ tutelage, 2007 NFL MVP Tom Brady broke the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season (50) and led the league in both passing yards (4,806) and passer rating (117.2). Brady also set franchise marks in nearly every major passing category, while WR Wes Welker set the franchise record for receptions in a season (112) and WR Randy Moss broke the NFL record for touchdown receptions with 23.
Brown started all 16 games last season and has started 76 consecutive contests, which is the sixth-longest longest active streak among NFL centers. Brown hasn’t missed a start since entering the Ravens’ starting lineup in 2006, his second NFL season. During his career, Brown has blocked for three different 1,000-yard rush- C Jason Brown ers: 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.
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. 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 LS Jake McQuaide Dahl are among dozens of current NFL players who have experienced success after going undrafted.

DOME FIELD ADVANTAGE The Edward Jones Dome was kind to the Rams last season as the team enjoyed a “dome field advantage” that helped St. Louis finish with a 5-3 record at home in 2010. Opponents averaged just 17.6 points per game at the Edward Jones Dome, giving the Rams’ defense the eighth best total in the NFL at home last season. St. Louis held its opponents to 17 points or less in six of its eight home games last season, including each of the first five. Of the Rams’ 43 sacks last season, 24 came with the help of their home crowd, tied for the fourth best total in the NFL.
In recent years, players such as Cowboys WR Miles Austin, Chargers TE Antonio Gates, Browns QB Jake Delhomme, Steelers LB James Harrison and Rams QB Kurt Warner entered the NFL as undrafted free agents and made the Pro Bowl.

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.

McDaniels plans crash course for Rams' offense By Jim Thomas There will be no bigger story at Rams Park this preseason than how quickly new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels can get the players up to speed on his system. Let the crash course begin. McDaniels spent five hours going over film with quarterback Sam Bradford on Tuesday — the first day players could be in the building post-lockout. They were together for about the same amount of time Wednesday. "We're trying to cram everything into three days," McDaniels said, referring to the three days before Friday's start of training camp. (The first practice isn't until Saturday.) McDaniels poked his head into a few of the other position rooms Wednesday, literally introducing himself to players. "I'm trying to meet as many of the guys as I can, whether they be new to the building, or guys that were here last year," McDaniels said. "I haven't met every player yet." Only in a lockout year that saw the entire offseason program wiped out could that be possible: a coach still meeting players just a couple of days before camp starts. McDaniels has yet to get any field time with the players, but he has tried to gauge who can do what based on film study done during the lockout. "I've certainly seen every play that they've been a part of in the last year here, including the practice tape," McDaniels said. "So that's been very helpful to me in terms of trying to catch up. I also think that this next three or four weeks here are going to be filled with evaluation. "The big thing for us as coaches is we've got to do a good job of teaching quickly. They've got to learn fast." And if it appears, for example, that a wide receiver seems lost at flanker, split end or in the slot — whatever it may be — McDaniels said the offensive staff must be flexible enough to move the player to a different spot. McDaniels said he may have to pare down the playbook at the start of training camp because of the lost offseason, but he isn't conceding that as of yet. "The big thing there is we want to make sure that we have a solid foundation," he said. "Maybe the foundation's a little bit smaller when we come out of training camp, maybe it's not. We'll see what pace we can go at, but I also think it's important to remember that we still do have a 16-game season. "It's a long season. There's an opportunity to continue to improve and progress after August. ... We've got to make sure we make strides in September, October, November and December." When Bradford met with reporters Tuesday, he said the playbook terminology is very different from Pat Shurmur's West Coast offense last season. But in terms of the plays themselves, McDaniels said it's not just his playbook. Some of the stuff that worked well last season has been incorporated into this year's book. "There's definitely going to be some carryover, maybe more than people may think," McDaniels said. McDaniels said his offensive philosophy is to use every part of the field — be it short, intermediate or deep in the passing game. And he likes to mold his scheme around the individual talent he has. For example, the package of plays for Danario Alexander will be different from the package of plays that may feature Danny Amendola. And the scheme — and hence, the game plan — will be opponent specific. "What are we going to try to do each week?" McDaniels said. "We're going to try to score points the best way we can. And really that has more to do with what the (opposing) defense is going to give us, than it does with running specific plays every week and repeating those." Having a defensive-oriented head coach in Steve Spagnuolo has helped in that respect already.

"What we want to try to do is beat the defense, not necessarily just run plays," McDaniels said. "One of the bonds that I have that I feel really great about is coach Spags has the chance to give me input and tell me what he sees from the defensive perspective and what may hurt them. "He sends me things in cut-ups and clips that are difficult to defend, and I think that's what we're really after each week." McDaniels hinted strongly Wednesday that Steven Jackson's role may be a little different this year, particularly in the passing game. Even though the final composition of the receiving corps may change here in the midst of instant free agency, McDaniels thinks the existing group has potential. "We've got a lot of young players that I think have a chance to improve significantly, just because this is their second or third year in the league," he said. "I think they have ability, and really the test for us is going to be how quickly can we get them up to speed so that they can work and be on the same page as the quarterback in the passing game."

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."

St. Louis' Sam Bradford plays beat the clock to learn new offense BY SAM FARMER Answering the bell is no problem for Sam Bradford, preparing for Round 2 of his NFL career. Answering to the beeper, though, is a different story. The St. Louis Rams quarterback is looking to build on his spectacular debut, a season that earned him NFL offensive-rookie-of-the-year honors. Now, he's learning a new offense — without the benefit of a structured off-season — and waiting for Coach Steve Spagnuolo to break out the beeper. That's a timer that sits just behind the offense in seven-on-seven drills and gives Bradford precisely 2.7 seconds to get rid of the ball before a loud beep sounds, signaling he's been sacked. "It's good in theory, and Spags loves it," said Bradford, relaxing at Rams headquarters after a recent practice. "With seven-on-seven, sometimes you get lethargic. Your drops are slow, your reads are slow, everything's slow because you don't have a rush coming at you. The beeper's designed to make you think that you have to get the ball out like that." Just because it's "good in theory" doesn't mean that Bradford doesn't want to spin around and fire a bullet pass squarely at that annoying device. "If your first read is there, you can beat the beeper," he said. "But any time you have a progression and your first read isn't there, and you've got to come back to three or four, you never beat the beeper. And that's what drives me nuts. I'm on time, I'm on rhythm, and Spags is telling me I got sacked. I'm like, 'No!' " Said Spagnuolo: "He's totally against it. I'm telling him, 'It's making you a better player,' and he's laughing, 'Yeah, but I can always get out of the way of the rush and extend the play.' That's not what we're trying to do with the thing." During the regular season, the coach brings out the beeper on Fridays and fines Bradford every time the beeper catches him, docking him about $700 last year. You might think that's the kind of money a guy like Bradford would find under his couch cushions, considering he signed the richest rookie deal in NFL history: six years, $78 million with $50 million in guarantees. But by all accounts, Bradford lives an exceedingly normal life, or as normal as you can get for a budding superstar. He rents an apartment. He drives a pickup. He goes to the movies every Tuesday. He eats at the same casual St. Louis restaurant every Friday night before a home game. "Outwardly, he doesn't have any of the vices you might expect of a 23-year-old multimillionaire," said Kevin Demoff, the Rams' chief operating officer. "He's just grounded. That's what makes him such a great fit for this market. He's someone everybody can relate to." Few rookies could relate to the success Bradford had last season. He helped turn around a franchise that finished 1-15 in 2009, answering all questions about his durability (a shoulder injury cut short his junior season at Oklahoma) by taking every snap for the Rams. He completed 60% of his 590 passes, with 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, and directed St. Louis to a 7-9 record and the brink of the postseason. The Rams would have made the playoffs as champions of the lukewarm NFC West but fell short with a loss at Seattle in their finale. That turnaround — though not complete — paved the way for Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur to be hired as head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Josh McDaniels, fired as Denver's coach last season, was hired to succeed him in St. Louis. McDaniels favors a spread offense somewhat similar to the one Bradford ran at Oklahoma, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 2008. It's significantly different from what the Rams ran last season, and everyone at team headquarters is trying to get up to speed. "It's all different, from the language, the communication, the way we call formations, the cadence, everything," Bradford said, noting last year's first day of offensive installation featured two play-action passes and more than a dozen drop-back passes, whereas this summer's first installation had four drop-backs and at least 15 play-actions. Bradford and the Rams are trying to learn a new language on the fly, a Berlitz to beat the blitz, if you will. In search of an early jump on McDaniels' offense — and understanding he couldn't have contact with coaches during the lockout — Bradford reached out to Charlie

Weis, the former offensive coordinator in New England (where McDaniels' philosophies were shaped) who now has that job at the University of Florida. So Bradford tapped into Weis, who was in "install mode" anyway as he was preparing to teach the scheme to the Gators in his first season at the school. Bradford soaked in everything he could from Weis "so that when I got back here and sat down with Josh for the first time, we were still starting from square one, but it wasn't the beginning of square one. At least I had seen things, the language wasn't foreign to me." What's more, that impressed McDaniels, although it didn't surprise him. "I just know from the short time I've been around him, that Sam wants to know everything, wants to be good at everything, and he wants to do both of those things very quickly," McDaniels said. "Whatever Charlie helped him with is great, but there's really nothing that replaces live repetitions." Bradford understands that, and knows that practice is especially important when the team hasn't had the luxury of a spring and early summer to pour the foundation for a new system. As the unquestioned leader of his young team, and suddenly the dean of NFC West quarterbacks — a division that will feature new starting signal-callers in Seattle, Arizona and probably San Francisco — Bradford is preparing for it all: the installation, the video study, the constant repetition … And that dang beeper.

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.

Vacations, offseason workouts prepare Steven Jackson for season By Bryan Burwell It is Friday afternoon and this is a rare, offseason Steven Jackson sighting. He has just completed a fierce workout at the Central Institute for Human Performance, a sports medicine and sports training facility in Kirkwood, and after five consecutive years of trying to catch up with the man during the offseason (and failing every time), I have at long last landed my prey. We play this game every offseason because I have heard stories about his fascinating vacations and legendary offseason workouts. I have been trying for years to catch up with him in the offseason, and this is the first time I have actually caught up with the Rams star running back before he showed up at training camp. It wasn't like he was avoiding me. He was just busy. Real busy. Almost the moment every season ends, Jackson embarks on a series of excellent adventures that take him all over the globe. You can't catch up with him because Jackson is usually darting across the world on some new escapade that will broaden his horizons and enrich his life experience. That stylish old dude in the Dos Equis commercial has nothing on Steven Jackson, who just might share that billing as the most interesting man in the world. Over the past three years alone, he has been to about a dozen foreign countries, swam with blood-thirsty sharks, zip-lined through the tree tops of tropical rain forests against howler and Capuchin monkeys, sat in the stands in South Africa cheering at the World Cup, walked through the catacombs of the Roman Colosseum, co-produced award-nominated documentaries, studied the architecture of Europe's great cities and gotten an up-close-and-personal glance at Mona Lisa's smiling face. So when I ask him how he spent this summer's vacation, Jackson is eager to retell this year's odyssey. "Well in February and March I was in Australia and New Zealand," he says, "and in June I went to England, France and Italy. I just sightsee. I take in all the major sights and go to museums. Then I try to get with a local architect to see all the historic buildings. I'm a real tourist. I get stared at a lot when I'm overseas because I'm such a big person, but they don't have a clue who I am." Imagine the stares in the piazzas of Rome, or some charter boat off the South African coast, or deep in the rain forests of Costa Rica, or some desolate village in Namibia, when this 6-foot-3-inch, 230-pound imposing physical specimen with his dreadlocks flowing off those chiseled shoulders comes into view for the first time in all these exotic lands. They have to know he's some sort of athlete, but since they probably don't get the NFL Network in Capetown or Melbourne, Jackson says he just gets a lot of curious gawks. But while on vacation, he finds the peace of mind that comes with an anonymity he rarely finds at home. "Since they have no clue who I am, I just walk around with a camera around my neck and enjoy the sights," Jackson says with a robust laugh. "I get to be a real tourist." Jackson's laughter echoes off the walls of this high-tech workout hall. It is one of those deep baritone bellows that lets you know that he has enjoyed the joke as much as you did. Just a few days shy of his 28th birthday (it's this Thursday, the day the Rams are supposed to report to training camp), and heading into his eighth season in the NFL, Jackson approaches this season no different than all the others. He balances his vacations with fiendish workouts that have carved his body into a muscular masterpiece. When you see him standing there in baggy cargo shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt, you see all the evidence you need to know about how else he spent his summer vacation. "You know what the number one comment I get from fans when I run to them out in public?" he says. "They ask me, 'Hey, I hope you're staying in shape.'" He twists his nose, shrugs his shoulders, waves his hands up in the air with amusement, then lets out a long "Pffffffft." "Does it look like I'm not staying in shape?" Uhhhhhhh, yeah, he's in shape. He knows people were wondering why he wasn't seen at the voluntary workouts last month at Lindenwood, and just in case you were wondering, he hasn't received a copy of new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' new playbook yet, either. But he says not to worry.

"I know Sam got one, and I was able to get some stuff from Sam when we were out in Phoenix together for team workouts," Jackson says. "But I'm more of an on-the-field learner. You can show me something, and if I don't understand the concepts of what the coach is trying to do, I can read the playbook all day long but it won't do me any good. The best thing I can do is make sure I'm physically sharp. Getting mentally sharp will come with those grueling two-a-days." And what should we tell folks who wondered why Jackson wasn't seen at the workouts? "I think there are a few things you tell people," he says, "One: Just because a particular person doesn't show up for the workouts doesn't mean he's bucking the system or he's not a team player. Two: I'm a father of two now, and we have no insurance to cover us in case of an injury in those organized workouts. So I put myself in a difficult situation if I do that. And finally, I think I have earned the trust of my teammates who know I'm going to do my job. "So, if I'm missing (from the workouts) or another guy is missing, it's not fair to point out who's not there. It's not reflective of being a team player or not being one. Look, running five-yard routes is not going to make me a better player. But the work I'm putting in during my (private) workouts is going to do that. I think the trust I've built with my teammates lets them know who can be counted on." He lets out that laugh again just as an emphasis to this point. "Look, I've had a number of teammates over the course of the last seven or eight seasons who I saw every day but I couldn't trust them," Jackson says. "The good teammates are the ones who you know are going to do their jobs when no one else is around watching them." His mom told him a long time ago that the Lord made this great, big beautiful world for us to enjoy, so Jackson is trying hard to enjoy every corner of it. In Italy and France, he saw things he had only read about in history books. He saw a 2,000-year-old mummy, the Mona Lisa and the Colosseum, the home of the original gladiator sport. "And I did make the connection between what the original gladiators did and what we do for a living," he says. "It was more barbaric then, and we're not losing lives. But I felt something walking in the Colosseum." A year ago, he was in South Africa swimming with the sharks, two years ago he was in Costa Rica zip-lining through the tree tops. "Coolest thing in the world," he says. "You're flying down this line maybe 300 yards and you look to your left and right and there are monkeys in the trees racing you. It got my adrenaline going. It was unbelievable." And it was about as far away from those old family vacations when he was a kid, crowded in a bus with a dozen other relatives on a grueling 26-hour trip from Las Vegas to Arkansas. "I knew back then that there was a lot more out there that Nevada and Arkansas," he chuckles. "I wanted to see what was out there in the rest of the world. And it's also why I hate road trips, too."

Bartell put his money where his team was BY JIM THOMAS When the players reported to Rams Park a week ago after the lockout, coach Steve Spagnuolo made sure he spoke to veteran cornerback Ron Bartell. "The first thing I did was thank him," Spagnuolo said. "I told him how proud I was of the leadership he showed." In early June during the lockout, Bartell organized player-only workouts in the Phoenix area with some help from linebacker James Laurinaitis and quarterback Sam Bradford. And that's why Spagnuolo was proud of Bartell. But Spagnuolo didn't know the full story. Not only did Bartell put out the welcome mat for his teammates in the Valley of the Sun, he put a roof over their heads. Bartell, whose offseason home is in the Phoenix area, paid the hotel bill for about 30 teammates who worked out there. "I found a nice hotel in Scottsdale," Bartell said. "They gave me a really good deal for all the rooms, and just took care of it like that." The players arrived on a Wednesday, and worked out Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So it was at least three nights' worth of hotel bills for Bartell. "That goes above and beyond," Spagnuolo said. "I give him a lot of credit for that." "He put us up in a real nice hotel," rookie wide receiver Greg Salas said. "That was real generous of him. It's just the kind of veteran he is. I don't really know him that well, but he's taking charge and he got everybody together and we got a lot of work in there." Besides the work on the field, the players spent a lot of time together afterward. This was different from the Lindenwood University workouts in late May in St. Charles, when to a large degree, the veteran players went to their homes, apartments, or condos after practice. "Ron wanted everyone to come out to Arizona, and to be honest with you it was great team bonding," Laurinaitis said. "Everybody was right next to each other in the hotel. The rooms were right next to each other. So it was kind of fun to get together, with just everyone joking with each other and having a good time. I think we got a lot of actual team chemistry done in that little trip. It was good." Even with the players having roommates — Salas roomed with fellow rookie wideout Austin Pettis — the Arizona adventure probably cost Bartell at least a couple of grand. "Yeah, it set me back a little bit, but I'll be OK," Bartell laughed. "I figured if I was going to ask everybody to come out there and take time out of their schedule, the least I could do was take care of the accommodations." In Arizona, the players spent time together around the pool and watched the Miami Heat in the NBA playoffs on TV. Salas, meanwhile, said he did not try to take advantage of Bartell's largesse by ordering room service. Now, with the lockout over and the team re-assembled at Rams Park, Arizona is a distant memory. The grind of training camp became real Monday with the team practicing for the better part of three hours in blistering heat in full pads. "It comes with the territory as far as the grind of training camp and everything," Bartell said. "But it's good to get back to work. I mean, we've been champing at the bit. Last season kind of left a bitter taste in our mouths when we felt we were so close to accomplishing something big. So guys were ready and willing to get back to work. Just to be able to be around the guys — even the coaches — it's been fun." Bartell chuckled when he mentioned the coaches. As he enters his seventh season with the Rams, Bartell has been through his share of coaches and seen dozens of players come and go. As a 2005 draft pick, he now ranks third on the Rams' seniority list, behind only long snapper Chris Massey (2002 draft) and running back Steven Jackson (2004). "It's kind of crazy," Bartell said. "I walked into the locker room (in '05) just after the Greatest Show on Turf days, and the locker room has changed. The whole building has changed. But I think it's changed for the better. Coach Spags has brought a new culture to the team. It's proven around the league. It worked in New York when he was there. It worked in Philly when he was there. So change is always good."

Bartell likes the free agency moves the team has made and hopes this is the year he experiences his first winning season in St. Louis. "As a player, I just want to keep improving," Bartell said. "But I'm all about the team. I want to win." This summer, he put his money where his mouth is.

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."

Danario Alexander is finally healthy BY BILL COATS The most scrutinized left knee in town was on display Tuesday as the Rams players continued informal workouts at Lindenwood University. Wide receiver Danario Alexander was among those joining the contingent. "I got a good workout," he said. "It's always good to get out here and get in the flow of things." By the time the nearly two-hour session ended, Alexander's performance had quarterback Sam Bradford licking his lips. "Watching him go through wide receiver drills and just getting off the line, he looks much quicker, looks much faster, much more explosive than he did in the (2010) season," Bradford said. Alexander, a record-breaking receiver at Missouri, has undergone five operations on his left knee. The most recent one was done in October, an arthroscopic procedure after he tweaked the joint in practice. Since then, the knee has improved significantly, Alexander reported Tuesday. "I've been working out and training throughout this whole offseason to be a hundred percent for the season," he said. "It's a lot better than it was during the season. Everything's coming back like it's supposed to." If the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder from Marlin, Texas, can even come close to the numbers he amassed during his senior season at Mizzou — 113 catches, 1,781 yards, 14 touchdowns — Bradford will have plenty of reason to celebrate. "Last year when he was healthy and was in the lineup, he made some big plays for us," Bradford said. "So to have him at full go, it definitely is exciting." Because of concerns about his knee, Alexander wasn't drafted last year, even after earning All-American honors. The Rams signed him to a free-agent deal Aug. 22, and he started the season on the practice squad as he toiled to strengthen the muscles in his left leg. Promoted to the active roster on Oct. 12, Alexander made a rousing debut. He caught four passes for 72 yards, including a diving grab for a 38-yard touchdown, in a 20-17 victory over San Diego. He missed a month after reinjuring his knee, but finished his rookie season with 20 receptions for 306 yards — a team-high 15.3 yards per catch — in just eight games. "It was great, just to see that I can play in this league at a pretty high level," said Alexander, 22. "Coming in as a rookie, you think the NFL is this crazy league that's impossible to play in. So for me to come in and make an impact on the team was truly gratifying." Still, Alexander insists that was merely a glimpse of his potential. "Just a little taste," he said. "A lot of guys are kind of writing me off because of the injuries that have happened in my career. I'm ready to show everybody what I can do." Whether he'll get that chance sooner or later depends on how long the NFL lockout, which began nearly three months ago, continues. At the moment, there is no end in sight. Alexander said he tries not to dwell on the labor impasse. "I don't let it get to me that much. I just take it for what it is," he said. "If you put too much energy into it, it'll be taxing on your body. So I'm just trying to go with the flow right now." His home is in Houston, but Alexander in recent weeks has been conditioning with former MU teammates Jeremy Maclin and Sean Weatherspoon in Philadelphia. "I've been training every day, just to be ready when this lockout is lifted," Alexander said. It's not difficult, he added, to motivate himself to put in the work. "No, no, not at all. Because I know I want to have a great season next year," he said. "What's going to get me to that point is working out every day. ... I'm ready to show off my talents."

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."

Hoomanawanui eager to try Rams’ new offense By Bill Coats The last time Josh McDaniels saw him, Rams tight end Michael Hoomanawanui was hustling 35 yards to the end zone Nov. 28 in a 36-33 come-from-behind victory in Denver. McDaniels was the Broncos' head coach. Fired eight days later, McDaniels since has been hired by coach Steve Spagnuolo to run the Rams' offense. McDaniels, the offensive coordinator under Bill Belichick in New England before heading to Denver, likes to deploy tight ends as receiving targets in his scheme. So perhaps he and Hoomanawanui will form a strong alliance. "I love what I see so far" of the new offense, Hoomanawanui said. "The proof is there. What New England's done with their tight ends, hopefully we can do that this year." But first things first: Hoomanawanui has to prove that he can stay healthy. Ankle injuries — one to each leg — cost him eight games last year. He finished his rookie season with 13 receptions for 146 yards and three touchdowns. Only running back Steven Jackson, with six TDs, scored more often. "Hopefully, I got my injuries out of the way my first year and I won't have to deal with that again," said Hoomanawanui, who was among the contingent of Rams taking part in player-organized workouts this week at Lindenwood University. "It's great to get back out here and see all the guys and get some team camaraderie going again," he said. "Obviously, everybody knows the situation (with the NFL lockout). Hopefully, we can get it settled soon and get back on the field with everybody." The 6-foot-4, 265-pound Hoomanawanui, a fifth-round draft pick out of Illinois, has been training in his hometown of Bloomington, Ill. "Everybody's got their own deal," he said. "But as long as everyone stays in shape and gets in the playbook, I think we'll come out all right." The four-day session at Lindenwood will "help tremendously, especially for us learning a new offense, just to get everyone caught up to speed," Hoomanawanui said. "There are other teams around the league doing the same thing. I don't think it can hurt you at all. You've just got to be smart when you come out here. Obviously, you don't want anyone getting hurt." Hoomanawanui's rookie season had barely begun when got hurt 7 minutes into the opening game, versus Arizona. The injury, diagnosed as a sprain high on his left ankle, sidelined him for the next four games. He amassed all his rookie stats over the following six weeks before he got rolled up from behind on a goal-line play late in the first half against the Broncos. That injury, a sprain high on his right ankle, put him out for another month. Hoomanawanui suited up for the season finale Jan. 2 at Seattle but saw only spot duty. He had no catches and no passes thrown his way. "Going down the first game and then coming back for a couple and then going down again, it was definitely frustrating," he said. "But the trainers did a great job getting me back as soon as they could. My teammates encouraged me … great family support and friend support. I was able to get through it." After Wednesday's 90-minute workout, Hoomanawanui reported that his ankles "feel great. I had enough of an offseason to take care of them. They're ready to go." Although Hoomanawanui said he believed that his injuries last year were "just a little bit of bad luck," he took preventive measures during his offseason training. "You can always strengthen them and get a little bit more flexibility so that when things like that do happen, they can give a little bit more," he explained. "So I've been working on that. "Nobody wants to go down with injuries, and I definitely don't want to be labeled as an injury guy. So taking care of that and not whining about it is my biggest thing right now."

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.
