It's Tuesday, and that means only three shopping days until Christmas. If you need my shirt size, just send me an email. Just kidding. You find any gift ideas for your sweet heart among this group of news items about the St. Louis Rams, but you will find some info about Christmas in April, better known as the draft.

Rams add DE James Wyche - The Rams picked up a new DE to fill the roster spot vacated by Daniel Fell's trip to IR.

The flu means nothing to Darrell Scott - Darrell Scott played a good game for a guy that missed Friday's practice with the swine flu.

More praise for Suh - ESPN's Todd McShay calls Suh "elite" and has him being drafted first overall by the Rams. However, the well-known draft guru does point out some areas where Suh must improve, just in case you started to think he was flawless.

Fresno's Ryan Matthews jumps to NFL - The Fresno State running back will enter the draft this year. He's a big runner, not a super fast guy, so he might not be exactly what the Rams are looking for to complement Steven Jackson. Still, it's worth keeping an eye on RBs entering the draft given the Rams glaring need for a #2.

2010 NFL Draft prospects playing in non-BCS bowl games - Without 3k in the mix right now, we'll have to scrounge prospect info where we can get it. This is a pretty interesting read as bowl season heats up.

Without 3k? What, have I been kicked out of the club?!

Wdup, people! Checking in from Balad, Iraq. What a beautiful place…
Haven’t got to watch much football. I saw the end of the Cowboys-Saints game and the Giants-Redskins crapper. I’m 9 hours in front of central time, so things don’t line up too well. In any case, I get to my home away from home tomorrow; once I get into the routine, I should be back into the TST fold more often with some draftiness.
Reading that piece over at SI makes me hate the fact that I’m going to miss the bowls. Hopefully I can get a piece up soon. Holler at ya boy!

You don't seem to want to accept the fact you're dealing with an expert in guerrilla warfare, with a man who's the best, with guns, with knives, with his bare hands. A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In *St. Louis* his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill! Period! Win by attrition. Well, *Steven Jackson* was the best.

"SJAX" - The extra strength cleaner that fights off that Stubborn, Stingy Defense

Ryan Matthews is pretty damn good

I’ve seen him play at our home games and this kid can play some ball. Very strong runner, it takes a few tacklers to get him down and he plays in an NFL type of offense already. He did miss a game this year because of a concussion. I think he’ll end up going in the 3rd round or better but he’d be a strong back to spell SJAX.

Bill Cowhers take on the Rams players

Is worth noting. I can’t say I’m happy with anything about this season other than the resultant draft position we’re left with. I will say again, however, I’m very very happy about the intensity that our players are showing at the end of a long, painful, losing season. Some of these guys could definitely fly under the radar if they decided to mail it in. They aren’t. The ones that are, Incognito, Barron, etc. are standing out plainly and will be easy to identify and weed out. This is a direct result of one of the 4 pillars, character. The most important one.
In rebuilding, we rely on the pieces we currently have maintaining desire while we acquire new pieces. It’s easier said than done. Good job guys, and good job coaches for this.
