3 Months Ago, VanRam from Turf Show Times says (in Rams 17, Seahawks 27: Pictures from a spanking) Sure, it's overreaction Monday, but the fleeting feeling of meh I had yesterday faded overnight into sheer disappointment...and concern. The Rams fell off a steep cliff yesterday, falling a long way from the progress they had showed in recent weeks. Well, really, they fell further off the cl...

4 Months Ago, VanRam from Turf Show Times says (in It ends today?) DE James Hall returns for the St. Louis Rams today. They'll need him to get to Detroit QB Matthew Stafford.

It's a game only a fan could love, the St. Louis Rams vs the Detroit Lions, if that doesn't spell excitement...

The Lions will have QB Matt Stafford and WR Calvin Johnson. No rest for the weary.  

5 Months Ago, VanRam from Turf Show Times says (in Avery playing; Hall not so much: Random Ramsdom, 10/24) OTs Adam Goldberg, Alex Barron and Jason Smith will rotate  this week, with Goldberg starting. Sando says the Rams are making a good move not exposing Smith in his first week back all along against a tough Colts defense. A fair point, but I'm not so sure Smith would give us a better line in place...

And ram_rod from Turf Show Times says (in Saying Goodbye to 'Spoon and Saying Hello to the Revolving WR Door) As Van said, Brandon Gibson supposedly has talent; everything they say about him says he's good, but not great. I can't remember exactly who did what, but I went to the Washington State vs. Washington game last year (known around here as the Apple Cup) and I can tell you both teams were absolut...

And VanRam from Turf Show Times says (in It just keeps getting tougher for the Rams) Football Outsiders has their updated DVOA stats (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, a system that breaks down every single NFL play and compares a team's performance to a league baseline based on situation in order to determine value over average). Nothing shocking in the numbers, e...

And VanRam from Turf Show Times says (in Rams 0, 49ers 35: The game in photos) St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson, left, runs against San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nate Clements, bottom, cornerback Dre' Bly (31)and defensive end Ray McDonald (91). Jackson might be the only Rams player left with any dignity.

13 Months Ago, VanRam from Turf Show Times says (in Random Ramsdom, 3/2: still waiting) Jim Thomas at the PD cites "league sources" who claim the Rams are shopping Torry Holt and Orlando Pace. With Matt Cassel fetching a mere second round pick (though, I suspect his $14 million cap hit had something to do with that), the Rams aren't likely to get anything on the first day for eith...
