Bradley Fletcher Injury: Rams CB Out For The Season With Torn ACL
by Ryan Van Bibber on Oct 5, 2011 7:33 PM CDT
in 2011 NFL regular season
Email
PrintSt. Louis Rams conerback Bradley Fletcher tore his ACL in practice today. He will miss the rest of the season. The Rams have lost all of their top three cornerbacks since the start of training camp.
Fletcher injured his knee in a collusion with wide receiver Mike Sims-Walker during 1-on-1 drills in practice today. There was some hope as Fletcher said he felt like the injury was not serious, but the team was concerned as soon as it happened. After all, the Rams have plenty of experience with torn ACLs recently.
The injury was on Fletcher's right knee, the same one he hyperextended in 2009, tearing both the ACL and MCL. That doesn't bode well for his career.
Fletcher's injury comes less than a month after Ron Bartell, the Rams other starting corner, fractured a vertebrae in his neck during the season opener. That injury put Bartell on the shelf for the year, and gives him long odds for returning to the NFL. Jerome Murphy, their third corner, was injured in training camp, and ended up on injured reserve.
It's hard to overstate just how devastating Fletcher's injury is to the Rams. The secondary was already struggling without Bartell, not they'll be relying on their fourth corner, Justin King, and a veteran, Rod Hood, who tore his ACL last year.
You can expect the Rams to bring in some more guys off the street, but don't expect a miracle. Good corners don't just float around in free agency. Teams aren't exactly eager to trade them either.

Hey, we still have two safeties!

Wow
Has any team ever had their top 3 corners miss the entire year? I think after wr, cb is top priority in the draft. Who knows if bartell ever returns and 2 acl tears to the acl is not going to prolong fletchers career at all….so much for winning during the bye week

We're officially fucked.
There is ZERO chance we survive the season with Justin King being our #1 Cb and some random street agent who just tore his ACL last year supporting him. It’s over guys. Either Bradford and the offense lights it up and we push for around 6 wins…or at this rate, we’ll finish with around 2 wins.. This sucks…
It's put up or shut up time for these WR's. Someone's going to have to perform or else they'll all be hitting the street. ESPECIALLY YOU ALEXANDER
6 wins?
you are reaching for the stars my friend. Even 2 wins is looking impossible

From an article by Van earlier
“Fletcher said the injury is not a bad one. Let’s hope. While Fletcher may be a talented young cornerback, he isn’t a doctor. Players are notoriously bad at diagnosing their own injuries. "
Why do you have to be so….right all the time VAn?
THIS TEAM IS CURSED!
the rams are the clippers of the n.f.l.!! unfreakinbulievable!!
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
If anyone still had any glimmer of hope left, it’s gone. We’re screwed, and I’m pissed.

Either Sam and the Offense light shit up ( not likely with Sam's surroundings)
or we win no more than 3-5 games this year just because we division we play in..
Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!
3-5
3 might be a lofty goal.
Our 4th CB and a guy off the street are our starters.
Na we do still play in the NFCW
So at least 3 wins in my opinion.

Oh
I thought you meant we’d play a 3-5 defense since we’re almost out of corners.
I think it might work….
THIS year's the year. I hope....
You know the coaches are going to have to get creative with their game-planning
It will be interesting to see how they adjust.

its sadley beginning to look like no more than 3 wins at best
i just don’t know how he is going to light up the offense when all defenses do is defense the run —-until we show any team that we can pass…its over…game set match
I don't know,
our FO haven’t shown me enough intelligence with their picks. I know hindsight is 20/20, but we passed on good talent that could be on this team right now. I don’t think next year will be any different, but we’ll see.
Good Lord! That is just sick.
Giants fans were bitching when they lost one starter, a couple of back ups and Prince Amukamara in the preseason, but what has happened to you guys is just crazy.
Best of luck finding a replacement, or two. A tip from a Lions fan; pass on Jonathon Wade.
"Filling a need doesn’t necessarily mean you’re getting a good player," said Schwartz. "It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re getting a player that best fits; it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re getting a player that’s better than what you have already."

we need any cornerback that has experience at this point…

Dude what are the odds the Rams lose all 3 starting corners?

at what you need to get the season back on track…if that is possible. You have spent the money on the side of the ball that isnt the “major” problem. LOL

Why the hell would he even report to the Rams?
I mean, if he shows up, he’ll tear an ACL within a week.
Honestly, at this point, there really is no need
We are a LOOOOOOONG way from getting anywhere. Bradley Fletcher was playing pretty damn good for us, yet, we’re still 0-4. If Asante Samuel had been there instead of Fletcher…we’d still be 0-4. It’d be a waste right now.

I wouldn't say regressed
I would say they’re just facing better competition. Last year our schedule was near the bottom of the league, this year it’s one of the hardest. Then considering all of our injuries on both sides of the ball doesn’t make it any better.

I agree,
but even the people who looked remotely good last year look awful right now. I think it’s a combination of all three, we look really bad right now.

Yea even the eagles or "dream team" are looking bad
which I would put on a short offseason which is also true for us to. I went on record and most of us did saying we would have a great season not noticing the flaws in our predictions, just thinking we would pick up where we left off forgetting McHoody’s offense is very complex, they barely had time to jell and forgetting for a moment how hard this schedule actually is. So for those reason this is why you see some many people so pissed.
Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!
Yup,
higher expectations lead to bigger disappointments. I pretty much expect to lose at this point though.

Na it's not expecting to lose but temper your expectation
We’ll win games here and there but remember that this team how it is with all the injuries and other thing isn’t very good. I’ll let people talk shit about this team but once next year we’re kicking ass, people are going to be eating theirs.
Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!
you can keep dreaming
it would be one thing if this team was competative but they’ve layed down and took it all season. And who cares about the injuries. The attitude this team should have is if one man goes down, next man in line buckle your chin strap, MAN UP and go play your ass off. Yea we’ve had bad luck this season but this team has no fight in them…they’ve already given up. And I dont care who goes down they should keep fighting cuz its their asses on the line and their bodies they are sacrificing so they should NEVER GIVE UP. Until they show some fight, they will be losers in my book

But I meant when the Cardinals had Larry Walker, Pujols in his prime, Rolen, Edmonds, Renteria, Reggie Sanders. They were so stacked back then! Pujols winning the WS with this current lineup would be an amazing achievement.

Silver lining
As for the bright side if Rams have #1 pick overall nobody in the NFC West is going to get Andrew Luck. There is you Silver Lining
If we get #1
i doubt we trade it to a NFC West team. Maybe Chiefs or the #2 team if it isnt a NFC West team.

Unbelievable.
Losing CB1, CB2 and CB3. That’s as bad of an injury streak as I can remember.
Good thing we’re just facing the Packers, right?
Yeah....
We’ll definitely be in line for one of the top WR prospects…….. In the way Quinn was a no brainer, I’m sure a WR will be also. Hope we’re not pick #1…..this sux :(

they could give us the first 2 picks in the draft
and we’d still get a long snapper and a guy who’s job it is to go out and get the tee after a kick off.

The Rams are cursed as far as injuries are concerned.
Either that or we have the worst strength and conditioning coaches and trainers ever to work in the NFL. Sadly, we still weren’t any good even with Fletcher on the field. The Rams are hurting from injuries, but that should not sway the fact that we’re a very poorly coached team. And that’s the number one problem with the 2011 Rams. Other teams seem to utilize their rookies better and be able to overcome injuries. New England didn’t give up when Brady went out for the year with a torn ACL. Then Welker went down the next year. Shit happens.
Has Sims-Walker been fired yet for just being involved?
He’s hurt us bad enough dropping passes and now he’s killing off our effective players.
OMG
Aaron Rodgers might put up bigger numbers against us next week then last week, this could be the most embarassing game of this year
Even tarvaris Jackson might get more than 200 yards against us now

But you gotta admit his incompetence blew right by Laurinitis didn’t he? I never realized how much I did not want a player to suit up until now.
Oh you didn't know?
every issue with this team is Bradfords fault, yeah, the offensive line is Sams fault, the injury to all 3 corners is Bradfords fault, the receivers not catching passes is Bradfords fault, the lack of talent on this team is Bradfords fault, the coaching staff having their head up their collective asses is Bradfords fault, the lack of fans interaction at games is Bradfords fault, the defense giving up more than a 170 yards rushing a game is Bradfords fault, the offense stalling out due to penalties from offensive lineman is Bradfords fault, the economy is Bradfords fault, not catching Bin Laden until just recently was Bradfords fault, the earthquake in Japan was Bradfords fault, the Mexican drug war that has killed over 40,000 people is Bradfords fault, my dog dying last year was Bradfords fault, the recession is Bradfords fault, the lockout was Bradfords fault, the Red Sox not making the playoffs is Bradfords fault, global warming is Bradfords fault, World War II was Bradfords fault, the closing of NASA is Bradfords fault, jobs going over seas is Bradfords fault……
Basically everything and anything that goes wrong or that is negative is Sam Bradfords fault.
yea maybe if bradford would have thrown the ball to MSW
he wouldnt have destroyed BFB’s knee. LOL hey thats a good argument right HAHAHA

I used to like your posts....
….but now you’re a whiney bitch.
Get your A-game back DFZ. Then when we get this thing turned around you can say that you flew the flag from start to finish instead of getting buried by the landslide of negativity that’s on this blog. You’re one of the strong willed people on here that can do it.
This team has a bright future. You and me both know it.
The truth is always the right answer....

Man you could say that about every team
the question is just how far away is that bright future? Right now it seems like the tunnel is getting longer and longer and that light is geting further and further away. No question there is talent on this team, but they are just not putting it together at all. Our oline is surpisingly horrible, our WRs have always been horrible, our CBs have just been decimated, our LBs are not much improved and our Dline is showing their age. Now I was one who thought at the beginning of the season that we had addressed all our weaknesses…but reassesing after about 25% of the way through, I’d say we have a whole heck of a lot of new holes to fill. Before i thought we were like swiss cheese with a few minor holes…now i feel we are like a landfill

I love this team
but the lack belief in Bradford is appauling. This Suck for Luck crap is nonsense and it’s becoming lame to even visit the site.
As for the team, God damn how Spags doesn’t make simple adjustments has got me worried if he even underastands whats going on in the field.
He reminds me a captain in the field of battle who just all of sudden loses it and can’t figure out what to do next while all his men are dying around him and the guys left keep screaming at him “WHAT DO WE DO NOW SIR!!!!” And he just sits there with a blank stare on his face.
Bro, I want this team so badly to win, so badly to shit on the teams we play. I’m actually calling for an upset against the Packers….if you can believe that? Haha
I haven’t lost it, I’m trying to find somethign to be positive in. If it helps I’m impressed with Bradford’s toughness, James L.‘s play, Quinn’s beastlyness (by the way, Quinn will be a 15 sack a year guy next season…it’s a lock) and James Hall’s ability to be so damn good even though he’s older than dirt. I still like McDaniels offense, but those receivers have to get their heads out of their asses man.
Just lack of logic and knowledge on this site is really embarrassing that’s why I posted that.
I can always go troll someone if you want…hahaha Just put up an Rams to LA thread.
Oh and you're absolutely right
this team has significant pieces of talent that point to better days, what really sucks is that the gap between the really good players and the bad players is huge. We don’t have much in between. You know?
I"m just keeping you honest, that's all.

Keep flyin’ the flag like you used to, that’s all I’m saying. We’ll be right, eventually!
The way I’m thinking (hoping is more like it), is that this team with the new offense is like a carpenter who builds his first cabinet. The first one he does is probably not very good. But was he gets the opportunity to step back, look at his first cabinet, see what mistakes he made, then he sees how to improve, his second, third, etc cabinets.
I think we played the first quarter of the season in McD’s system. Now we have the bye week to step back, look at our problems and get them all fixed. WRs gotta know that they have to hold onto the ball FIRST. The O-line is gonna make better reads on picking up the blitzing corners. SAM is gonna learn what he’s gotta do to call the blocking schemes. And the final 10 games we’re gonna be a lot better.
And we’ve got an “easy” run coming up in a couple of weeks. We’ll (hopefully) get it together!
The truth is always the right answer....
