Rams missing from "All Fundamentals Team"

by VanRam on Dec 11, 2009 10:02 AM CST in 2009 St. Louis Rams regular season Comment 7 comments

The All Fundamentals Team has been announced by the NFLPA and USA Football Association. Players are selected based on "the combination of their fundamentally sound play and their commitment to community."

Nobody from the St. Louis Rams made the list, though you could make the case for a few names. Those include:

RB Steven Jackson - Every week, injury or not, he gives 110% and says nothing about the fact that the team can't win despite his work. What else is there to say? Ryan Grant was the RB named.

P Donnie Jones - Is there a better punter in the league? Apparently. The All Fundamentals selection committee thinks Brian Moorman from the Bills is a better punter.

And, what, no Kyle Boller for throwing mechanics? Booo.

Take a look at the All Fundamentals Team and the skills the players were selected for. What other Rams could qualify?

Torry Holt should be there

for imaginary flag throwing.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

What a weird award list

I agree. Steven Jackson could go on that list. Ball security? I think Jackson has done well with the workload he has; it’s certainly a higher workload than Grant’s. Agree too on Donnie Jones.

Isn't it obvious?

Unless espn has labeled you a “motor guy” or has fawned over you for one reason or another then you don’t get a second look.

While this list compiles a very good team, it’s a fluff list.

Steven Jackson is not fundamentals

He doesn’t run at all like you would teach a “prototypical” back.

Donnie Jones should be there, and if not him, Shane Lechler.

Shurmur should be there as the fundamentaly worst offense in the NFL

Not for nothing but if this guy is not off the team after this year it wont mater much what or who we draft ,with Shurmur calling the plays the team will look the same as now,we realy have to get a OFC
