Random Ramsdom Aug. 27th 2009: Its about to begin

by Eric Nagel on Aug 27, 2009 9:16 AM CDT in St. Louis Rams news

This is it! The third preseason game is when we usually see the starters out the longest, and after the Atlanta showing, I'd say they need some more practice anyway. Onto today's news:

BND has a interview with Kyle Boller and how he wants to finish off drives. Who doesn't Kyle?

Ramsgab's Quote of the Day by Jeff takes a look at an interview about the NFC West Division winner this year. Football Outsiders has us with 8.2 wins this season.

Jim Thomas has 5 things to watch for during the Cinci game. Most alarmingly is the fact that we haven't scored a first team touchdown yet. Reminds me of a certain head coach we had...Do us a favor and punch it in guys?

That's all for now, as most of the big heads are buzzing about writing previews about preseason games...Will our run defense hold, will Steven Jackson be ready with so few carries..(Mike Sando looks at this statistic about preseason carries. Steven Jackson only had 16 carries in the preseason in 2006).

All you can do now is watch...and maybe pray!

Have a good Thursday!

I think there's not much more to preview

what to watch for: run defense, struggling players to step up and Kyle Boller. Same as last week, same as next week, yada, yada, yada.

It makes it tough to find things especially when most of the bigger sites say the same things again and again and again.

And it isn’t like the Rams are big news anyway.

Good piece about Jason Smith! You know it reminds me of a story I read before draft day about how Eugene Monroe and him probably wouldn’t have gone so high in the draft if their was more talent.

Looking at how he is struggling, I wouldn’t have minded to trade down. It seems like most of the rookies are pretty even at this point in development.
