Rams’ CB Cortland Finnegan has received more criticism than praise for his play in the 2013 season. A fractured orbital bone has sidelined him for the remainder of the year. The Rams have a decision to make in regards to their veteran CB this offseason. He’ll cost the Rams a pretty penny if nothing’s done. He, nor you, should bank on that happening…

On Wednesday morning, Austin added a monthly prize to his growing collection as the NFC named him the special teams player of the month for November. Look for him in the history books!
In cased you hadn’t noticed, Robert Quinn has been dominating left tackles for the better part of the 2013 season. His consistent play is turning heads, and garnering him the necessary praise. PFF takes a closer look at the Rams’ defensive end; specifically his impressive performance in Week 12.
Over the last two weeks, the St. Louis Rams have outscored their opponents by a score of 80-29. The stability of Kellen Clemens, the consistency of Zac Stacy and the explosion of Tavon Austin has sparked the offense during that time. However, just as he has done throughout the whole season, defensive end Robert Quinn has also played a huge part in their recent success.
The Rams are starting to hit their stride defensively, and consistency is leading to the desired results. Whether it be individual efforts, or cohesion of the entire unit, the Rams’ defense has begun to dominate it’s opponents, and they’re doing so with some semblance of regularity.
When Robert Quinn joined Rams in 2011, he hadn’t played in a game since December 2009. There was a boom-or-bust potential to the selection. Less than three years later, he's all boom.

SB Nation has some experts. Those experts make some predictions. None of them are picking the Rams to beat the
49ers this week.
The Rams have played surprisingly well after losing their starting QB - Sam Bradford - for the remainder of the 2013 season. At that point, there were fans who were willing to call it quits on the 2013 season and look to next year’s draft. Kellen Clemens has lead the Rams to back-to-back victories. Maybe it’s time they starting losing…on purpose.
