PrintI have to give a shout out to everyone in the TST Community for great stuff in the comments and the fanposts and fanshots. The St. Louis Rams may not have won too many games recently, but we've got a loyal, dedicated bunch of fans here. In an effort to recognize the excellent fanposts, I'm going to start a fanpost of the week thing every Friday, in which I pick a few fanposts and you guys vote on your favorite of the week.
This week's entrants...
Spagnuolo and "Genius" QB Development
Coach Conners picked up on something Spags said in his interview with Jim Rome this week concerning QB development and Sam Bradford. When asked about his plans for breaking in Bradford, the coach didn't elaborate too much other than to say he thought Andy Reid did a great job, "genius" in fact, with Donovan McNabb in Philly.
2009 Rams Analysis Part 1: Close Games
The record may have led you to forget, but the Rams' 15 losses included a few close games, close for a time anyway. Discovering what happens in those close games is always an interesting look at a team's makeup. Tevin T Broner delved into the Rams seven close losses.
How It Went Down: My Trade to the St. Louis Rams
Trades are always exciting,especially when a team needs help in so many areas. For most of us though, what we know about a trade comes mostly from the news. We can analyze it sideways and backwards, but it's easy to forget that it involves actual people. Rams safety Kevin Payne gave us the inside view of what happened when the Rams upgraded their defensive backfield when they traded a pick in the 2011 draft to Chicago for Payne.
Alright, vote!

As a tribute to my gratitude for a real live Ram blogging with us I voted
for “How it Went Down…..”, not to take away from the other 2, both of which were insightful.
Rams analysis was really good...
except it’s written with so many grammatical errors, making it incredibly hard to read.
My bad I was up super late and forgot to spell check and review over it. :(

It's okay, I don't want to sound like I was hating on it.
I voted for it because it was a very good analysis of those games.
I enjoyed reading all 3 fanposts
But getting the inside view from a player really stood out as something we don’t often get to see or hear. Kudos to Kevin for knowing how to engage with the fanbase and knowing that giving us just a little insight into the life a player gives us fans that sense of feeling just that little bit closer to the team. Alot of players could learn from Kevin.
Just wanted to say...
Keep it up guys. I’m a Niners fan, but I never like to see fans of losing teams struggle through it, you guys are a loyal, dedicated bunch and you have a top quality blog. I think between Niners Nation, TST, ROTB and Field Gulls we’ve got the best four blogs as far as SBNation football is concerned when rating by division.
And then God created Saturn.. And he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Eureka 49ers, my Niners blog.
Poor Kevin Payne
If he doesn’t perform up to the high expectations of fans and the Rams continue their losing ways this fall, it will get mighty chilly on this site for him. I hope he turns out to be Superman. But it’s gonna be extremely tough in the backfield with no pass rush again.They’ll also have to be chasing down RB’s that routinely get by our front 7 (of which only 3 players are talented; Long, Ryan and JL). Not fully addressing needs at DE/DT and OLB is gonna hurt.
Not at all
I think if anything he’ll get an easier ride from most especially if he continues to post. I know i’d appreciate a player knowing if we were less than impressed by the teams performance and still having the guts to come give us the views from a players point of view.
On a side issue do you ever get bored of bringing up your concerns with the D line? Maybe a sig like “Our D line sucks” would make things easier? lol

I do think its pretty bad just don’t feel the need to go on and on about it every time i post a comment. Just thought it’d save your keyboard some abuse if you didn’t have to type it every time. See always thinking of others….you’re welcome my friend.

I didn't think he was saying that.
I thought he was just saying that you don’t need to say it every time. We all know your view on the matter, and most of us agree it’s a weak point, so why say it all the time?
That would be nice,
but I heard Devaney say on radio the other day he thinks our current DTs will do really well this year. I hope this was just blowing smoke, but it’s hard to tell with him.
they're B@
there’s a few of us and whoever gets there first wipes ’em out. Rare exception being something entertaining, like pooh bear art.
