Random Ramsdom: 11/8/2010

I sure enjoyed the bye week. The Rams didn't play, moved up in the standings, and the rest of the NFC West looked like a steaming pile of dog crap in the process. Things are looking up for sure, so let's dive in:
This fanpost about Randy Moss is from Ramification. The Mossimo decided he would try to get his new coach fired (the Vikings, not the Titans), and it didn't work out so well, as we all know.
Speaking of Randolph, he probably wouldn't have played in St. Louis anyway. That whole "character" thing just eluded him a bit too much.
Mike Sando takes a look at the remnants of the NFC West. 2-6 San Fran could move one game behind first place with a win next Sunday. At this rate, we might be able to win the division at 6-10.
Jim Thomas thinks that the Rams improved defense is a result of a bunch of things. Let's try and get a defensive Ram named to the Pro Bowl, shall we? Any takers?
Bryan Burwell attributes the Rams success to their faith in Spagnuolo. A nice little sneak peak into what it was like before he arrived is in the article too. I can't help but feel bad for Linehan.
Chris Massey has definitely been enjoying his long career with the Rams. An interesting piece into one of the lesser known, but quite important players on the team.
It's the battle of the rookies: Maurkice Pouncey vs. Sam Bradford. Throw in a splash of Ndamukong Suh, and you have your ROY battle.
Back to football ladies and gentlemen; it's about to get interesting.

while i agree Pouncey's impact has been profound
helping re establish the run game in pitt and keeping whoever was linig up at qb upright, in my eyes, the only challeneger to sam for ROY is Ndamukong Suh.
just purely dominant.
but as Sam is a QB he SHOULD get it…
very nice read about Massey, I wonder if he commands respect in the locker room or if he is just considered a special team dude?
I’m really hopeful for this game vs San Fran and I refuse to declare we are a playoff team unless we beat them!
Bradford to Onobun!

Just a note
The rookie of the year awards, given by the Associated Press, were historically split: one for offense, one for defense. But about seven years ago, Pepsi linked up with NFL.com to do a fan-based overall ROY. So the only ROY award Sam and Suh will compete against one another for is the new Pepsi one.
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.
Sam needs to have a decent 2nd half of the year
and help the Rams turn the corner by winning a couple on the road for him to win ROY IF we don’t win the division.
If we WIN the division and he respectable numbers, bank it.

One will drive the other.. with respectable numbers comes wins..
with wins, comes division champions.
"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall." - Vince Lombardi
And to complete my incoherent rambling,
I’m basically saying that we need Sam to continue playing well to win the division. But DUH right?

one additional thought
If the Cards are a steaming pile of crap then I think the Seahags should actually be the E-coli in that steaming pile of crap.
Prediction:
Next year, we sweep the division.

wow
I loved Burewell’s story. I am actually surprised Jackson gave up all that info but it really sealed the deal on a good story and made the point perfectly
yeah i'm shocked that they didn't try and get a deal done before the draft if it had been decided that early!
assuming that was pre draft?
Bradford to Onobun!
i have been hard at work
trying to get animal jr into the probowl. i think he legit deserves it., and i am doing it by snubbing patrick willis. i voted something like 25 times so far. anyone wanna support me?
