Rams getting healthier

in 2009 St. Louis Rams regular season

PrintNew players, new coaches, new front office management, lots of things look different for the St. Louis Rams this season. One constant from past seasons, the injuries. The Rams head into their week 13 game against the bloodied Bears with some key players listed as questionable.
The good news is that C Jason Brown practiced yesterday and should be back in the mix this weekend. Good thing. The Rams took all kinds of abuse in the middle part of their line last week without Brown, starting RG Richie Incognito and replacement Adam Goldberg sliding over to fill in for RT Jason Smith.
Speaking of Smith, he's most likely out this week, still not having completed the necessary neurological exams required to play after suffering a concussion. Goldberg will take his place. Personally, I always felt like Goldberg did a better job filling in on the left side at tackle.
Steven Jackson didn't practice, but he does expect to play. He'll be without super blocking full back Mike Karney.
Does anybody else want to see more 4 WR sets this week? Yeah, me too.

Geez...I wonder if we could have beat the Saints...
…had we used 4 WR sets more often. Can you guys believe we came closer than the Giants/Pats at beating these guys? Decidedly closer. I know we won in Detroit, but if nothing good happens the rest of the year, that Saints game is the one I’ll take from it all as a sign of improvement.

i'm not going to lie
i’m looking for big time improvement this weekend over last weekend. boller should be much better protected, and the line should open up more holes for jackson with brown and incognito back in the game. the bears have the league’s worst rushing offense, so i’m looking for the run defense to bounce back too.
as for 4 WR sets, YES. let’s please get 6’4 ruvell martin involved this week.
jd is legend for Cardinals' closer 2010!!

i’m thinking with some of our guys getting healthy again we may win this week
If practice makes perfect....
Yet nobodies perfect.....
Then why practice ???
I'm pretty confident that this will be a very competitive game.
If our O-line minus J. Smith can stay healthy throughout the whole game, and our D-line can get some pressure on Cutler with their atrocious O-line, it will be a good game.
Can't think of a good sig
He actualy outplayed Santchez in preeseason and has not play a down yet
when we played the Jets it was Null that was the better QB in that game out preforming Santchez and winning the game for us on two game winning drives,hey this kid showed me some thing but has never got another chance ,come on now we all know Boller and we all know he wont be here next year ,i realy like to see this kid Null play in a game or two ,do we realy have any thing to lose by letting him play,dam they should want to see what they have before the end of this dam season

I agree to an extent
I agree that Null deserves a chance and that he looked really good in defense. But we haven’t seen him play against a first team defense yet. He was playing against 3rd string defenses. But he deserves a shot, every other healthy pick ahead of him is/has started and got a shot, why not him?
