The Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis, MO will rockin,' with fans wanting to see their team turn things around. Staggered by three rough losses the last few weeks, the Rams are searching for answers on offense and defense. They welcome the Jaguars to the Gateway City; a team having issues as well.
Today features the return of Jo Lonn Dunbar to the Rams' defense after a four game suspension and being released by the team. For the Jaguars, they'll be without left offensive tackle Eugene Monroe, who was traded to the Baltimore Ravens this past week. Rookie - and second overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft - Luke Joeckel will take over duties on the left side, and he'll face the Rams' Robert Quinn in a key match up.
So what changes has Jeff Fisher made? He eluded to making some adjustments on his show at ESPN 101. The "Twitter-verse" has yielded a hint from running back Daryl Richardson, saying he won't be starting against the Jaguars. Injuries for today's game could play a role, with both teams having some key players dinged up this week. For the Rams, seeing Cortland Finnegan listed as "doubtful", and Trumaine Johnson as "questionable" has to have St. Louis fans nervous. The Jaguars get wide receiver Justin Blackmon back after serving his four game suspension, so if Blaine Gabbert finds time in the pocket, it could get interesting.
