Rams could lose G Jacob Bell for the season
The St. Louis Rams injury report can't get any worse can it? Oh yes it can, and it has after the brutal beat down administered by the Tennessee Titans and Jeff Fisher's mullet this weekend. The offensive line, already missing starters, took the biggest hit, with LG Jacob Bell suffering a torn hamstring muscle, an injury that could keep him out for the rest of the season.
Yikes. Bell has really stepped up his play this season, and he'll be missed sorely. This might be an easier blow to suffer if Jason Smith were healthy and starting at RT, because that would allow Goldberg, whose a better guard than tackle, to play guard as opposed to being forced to play tackle for Smith. Bell's injury could also have ramifications on the RIchie Incognito situation, which Spagnuolo did not address today citing his desire to talk to the hot headed guard first.
Jason Smith has not taken the neoro test again, so no change in his status yet. The Rams official Twitter feed says the team has all options on the table, including ending the rookie's season to let him recover...not the preferred option, but probably the best.
Linebackers David Vobora and Paris Lenon each had an MRI, but no results yet.
Why does this team consistently deal with so many injuries? This isn't just turf-related stuff either. I continue to be of the mind that because we're so talent deprived, the big names step up, carry more load and suffer the consequences because of the increased exposure. Or maybe we just have really cut rate trainers.

Why all the injuries
B/c opposing teams for the most part are bigger ,faster and more talented than the slow footed rams. Injuries are a natural concurrence.
you're an idiot
i’m sorry, but that is just an idiotic thing to say.

Count Barron thrice--
Once for starting before the snap, Once for sometime after the snap, and sometimes starts after he remembers its Sunday, and the Rams have a game on.
well the opposing teams are better and faster so could be part,lol
If practice makes perfect....
Yet nobodies perfect.....
Then why practice ???
they may be better and faster
but that’s not why the rams are injured. that’s high school type BS.

Bell was good this season
I would say he is tied for our second best O-Lineman with Jason Smith (Jason Brown being our best). He brought a lot more consistency to the position than he did last year.
no no no
Bell was not good. He was passable as a pass blocker, but he’s soft and can’t run block any better than all their other linemen. He got his butt kicked by Bart Scott at the point of attack in a pre-season game and sat out for weeks. I mean, ok he’s hurt, but I saw the play and he used terrible form (didn;t get his pads low) and it cost him a concussion. It was preventable, shouldn’t have happened, and the way he handled it was just weak.

Roger Allen
should see some time. If he’s still here next year it may be because of how well he does in the next 3 games.
