I can't believe McMichael is on the ballot... SJ, Donnie, and Karney are our best chances.

Safety Craig Dahl’s rougher the kicker penalty last week against New Orleans cost the St. Louis Rams only five yards. But it cost Dahl $5,000. Dahl was fined by the NFL for running into Saints punter Thomas Morstead in the fourth quarter of the Rams’ 28-23 loss.

Ah You lost for season.

I'm not real sure how many more players we can lose to injury and not just have to forfeit the rest of the season.

Rams guard Richie Incognito and Cardinals defensive lineman Darnell Dockett rank first and fifth, respectively, among the dirtiest players in a Sporting News poll of 99 peers.

Bad boys. Incognito will be out this week when the Rams take on the Cardinals at the Ed Jones Dome.

Burton's got good hands

Who knew he was this reliable? He will be missed.

The Bills have signed ex-Ram TE Joe Klopfenstein

Yikes. Just a quick note for thought: DE Aaron Maybin, the Bills top draft pick in the '09 draft has 6 tackles through 9 games. Detroit TE Brandon Pettigrew, who I consisently mocked to Buffalo, has 23 receptions for 262 yards so far. Yikes.

A Rams source has confirmed the team will sign wide receiver Jordan Kent this afternoon to replace the injured Keenan Burton.
Kent (6'4, 219) played in nine games, with one start, for Seattle last season but has no career receptions. He did have three special teams tackles.

Per 101ESPN's Brian Stull, we get the above news. (h/t Sando)

The Rams have been waiting for former first-round pick Chris Long to have a good game, and Sunday he played well. Long had been rushing from the inside at tackle, but he moved out to end and was effective, getting a sack and two hits on Drew Brees.

That's from Michael Lombardi at the National Football Post. I haven't seen Long inside at DT much, but Spags does move around his front four.

WR Brandon Gibson took reps with the first team in practice yesterday

WR Brandon Gibson took reps with the first team in practice yesterday

About damn time. I understand he's not the top-line WR we need, but we gave up an important player to get this kid, along with a 5th round pick, and are ready to see what he has to offer.

Right now [Ndamukong] Suh is firmly entrenched as the No. 1 NFL Draft prospect in the nation. It's now beginning to appear that he's above and beyond every other player.

Imagine the impact on the Rams defensive line...

WR Dez Bryant to enter 2010 NFL draft

WR Dez Bryant to enter 2010 NFL draft

No surprise here, but the former Oklahoma State WR has officially announced his intention to be among the top WR prospects available in this year's draft. The NCAA suspended him for the rest of this season, thanks to an ill-advised meeting with Deon Sanders. 3k's latest mock draft had the Rams drafting Bryant.

What we have here is a strong leader as a head coach. Him and our GM (Billy Devaney) have a vision and there's no grey areas. They tell you this is where we're headed. Even if you dislike it, it's no question that he knows what he's doing. That makes the road easier.

A TD pass and a FG earn Brown the award.

He led all Rams tacklers with seven tackles this past week and had a pass deflection in their first win this season over Detroit. Despite the Rams' struggles, he has been all over the field making plays with his exceptional motor and ability.

Jeremy Green from Scouts Inc. ranks Rams MLB James Laurinaitis #6 on his weekly rookie report.

Rams sign CB Gorrer, release WR Tim Carter

As reported by Yahoo! Sports, the Rams signed CB Danny Gorrer who was originally with the Saints on their practice squad. He was a two year starter at Texas A&M. To make space, the team released WR Tim Carter.

And Spagnuolo definitely has to improve in some areas, including game management and in coaching up his assistants. (I don’t know if this is a good staff of assistants; a couple of people I respect in the NFL tell me that it isn’t.)

The PD's Bernie Miklasz on Spags. The behind the scenes talk about assistants is interesting. Hmmm...
