If you want to talk about power play, you have to recognize the work done by St. Louis Rams defensive end Chris Long last week. He and his defensive linemates disrupted the New Orleans Saints' fearsome passing attack by harassing quarterback Drew Brees for a full four quarters. It was relentless stuff.
Long finished the game with three sacks and seven pressures. It was the biggest performance of his career, and just the third time the Rams' defensive end accumulated multiple sacks in a game since being selected with the second overall pick in 2008.
The highlight of Long's day came in the second quarter, with the Rams hanging onto a 3-0 lead. On second-and-10, Long breezed by right tackle Charles Brown to bring down Brees for a nine-yard loss. On the next play, he swatted down Brees' pass which brought out the New Orleans punt team. Rookie Robert Quinn blocked the punt, and the Rams got the ball on the Saints' 15-yard line. Steven Jackson recovered Greg Salas' fumble on the next play, and punched it in for a touchdown right after that.

I was watching sports nation and on the 3 tears segment they had a tear for brees
And it was long’s third sack on him. That one looked painful.

when we can talk about things like the body slam you're referring to
it’s a good day to be a Rams fan, buddy. Say whatever you want!
This one was my favorite; used to watch the show a lot with my uncle

Yes he did.
He needs to work on securing the football.
Two things about me will never change. I will always root for the Rams, and I will always root against the Niners.
god damnit
no kidding; this who rookie fumbling ish is getting frustrating. At least they’re catching the ball more finally.

He looks great....
….but he’s got that AP syndrome where he tries to get too much yardage on some plays, fights to stay upright and some defender comes in and punches the ball out.
You’re right though, he’s gotta get that under control.
The truth is always the right answer....

I lived there from 2002 to 2006
I met my wife in Russia. I have many friends over there. None has any firearms, nor is showing any interest in firearms.
You just can’t say russians and americans have the same relation to firearms.
No NRA over there…

He could be a bit more secure with that.

so one of my friends is a massage therapist, she sends me a picture of a Rams football autographed by a ton of players
then I find out that one of her clients is friends with our QB coach, so naturally I asked for a ton of autographs….but I’m pretty sure it was Dick Curl, so I won’t be getting shit

Massage Therapist? I'm not going to say anything.
