St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson has been nominated for the Fed Ex player of the week. Vote for him HERE!

SJax played his best game of the year, gaining 159 yards on the ground and an additional 32 yards receiving. His two TDs were the major factor in the Rams huge upset of the New Orleans Saints. It was great to see him step up in a leadership roll when his teammates began to make mental miscues. His now famous video clip of him chewing out Rodger Safford after he jumped prior to the snap is something his fellow players won't soon forget.

He is now second all time in total yardage by running backs for the Rams franchise, and still going strong. Preseason thoughts that Jackson had little left in his tank, after years of pounding, have gone by the wayside. Let's face it, Steven Jackson is an absolute beast on the field, and a crucial component to future Rams success.

Here's to you SJ39! Now hit the link and VOTE!

I know what I'm doing with the rest of my day.

Voting for SJAX. Over and over and over again.

Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.

The Rams have always had a bad mutha pounding the ball. Bettis, Dickerson, Faulk, and now Jackson and many before that. Steven Jackson has been a great leader. That being said let’s go after Trent Richardson to keep the tradition going.

I think we've got too many other pressing needs to go after a backup RB for SJAX.

We need help at O line, WR, DT, OLB and CB. SJAX is a stud and will be for at least a few more years, so we can afford to hold off on drafting his replacement for at least 1 more year.
