What a terrible weekend to plan a call with someone in New York City.

Rams offense is progressing - Sam Bradford reports considerable progress for the offense so far. Both he and running back Steven Jackson point to well-executed plays against the Chiefs this week. Not that there still isn't work to be done.
Joke's almost over for the NFC West - Last season, the NFC West became the first division in NFL history whose champion posted a losing record, with the Seattle Seahawks going 7-9 to earn a playoff berth. Pat Kirwan says the St. Louis Rams should give the division some respectability again this year.
Arian Foster Pounces On Colin Cowherd After Injury Joke - There was a Twitter fight, more of a skirmish really, between Arian Foster and first-rate idiot Colin Cowherd yesterday. Foster delivered the killing blow, and didn't even need all 140 characters to do it.

The Road to 53: The case for fullback Brit Miller - Will the Rams keep 4 RBs in their final 53? The case for Brit Miller, from Rams Herd.
