The St. Louis Rams, along with the remainder of the NFL, were provided with their regular season schedules for the upcoming season. Their schedule poses some very serious ups and downs, as the team will have to start strong, hold fast, and finish fierce. It’s going to be a tough going in terms of strength of schedule, but the Rams should be used to that by now...

Rams Have a Shot at a Good Start: Pro Football Talk
For the Rams, a 3-0 record headed into their Week Four bye isn’t an impossible dream. To begin their season, the Rams have home games against Minnesota (Week One) and Dallas (Week Three) and a road trip to Tampa Bay (Week Two). These opponents aren’t pushovers, but they are teams the Rams can defeat on their best.
Alabama’s Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Has Yet to Meet With Rams: NFL.com
There’s probably no single player who’s been mocked to the Rams at No. 13 overall than Alabama Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. He’s met with - or will meet with - nine NFL teams...but the Rams aren’t one of them.
Clinton-Dix to the Rams makes a lot of sense. The biggest reason: The Rams' projected starting free safety right now probably would be Rodney McLeod. If you said, "Who?" when you heard that name, you wouldn't be alone.
Kiper Says Rams Could Draft Taylor Lewan at No. 2: Detroit News
Despite being considered a step below Greg Robinson of Auburn, the upside pick, and Jake Matthews of Texas A&M, the safe pick, ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said there’s a chance Lewan could be the second overall pick by the St. Louis Rams on May 8.
"In terms of going two, it’s not out of the question because if (the Rams) do take a tackle, he’s right there with Robinson," Kiper said on a conference call Wednesday. "You could make an argument he’s better than Robinson because right now he is. Robinson may have better upside, but I think Taylor Lewan right now really benefited from going back for his senior year."
The Rams open at home against Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings and close for the fourth time in five years at Seattle in the House of Horrors known as CenturyLink Field. They have an early bye week (Sept. 28). And once again they get two primetime games, both at home against NFC West rivals.

Rock Gullickson made a good point in the weight room today. For a lot of us that have been here for a while — myself, Sam (Bradford), Chris Long — it’s enough of, ‘Hey in the future we’re gonna be good.’
The Best Under-25 Team in the NFL: CBS Sports
Thanks to some vague comments from unnamed "personnel circles," the media has magically jumped on a "Johnny Manziel to St. Louis" bandwagon. With the A&M prospect projected to fit somewhere in the Top 10, the Rams would likely have to use their first first round selection, if they wanted to the services of the college phenom. Is that realistic? Doubtful. But, it does bring up an interesting topic.
