Michael Hoomanawanui Might Be Out for Remainder of Rams' Season
By John Hickey - AOL NewsSt. Louis' push for the NFC West title may have to do without any help from Michael Hoomanawanui. The rookie tight end's second ankle injury of the season may be about to land him on the Rams' injured reserve and thus put him out for the season. Hoomanawanui, a fifth-round choice out of Illinois, has been a nice complementary player for St. Louis in his first year. But in the first half of Sunday's 36-33 win over the Broncos at Denver, he suffered a high ankle sprain on his right ankle. Coach Steve Spagnuolo said Hoomanawanui could be out 4-6 weeks, which would make a comeback this season ...
Billy Bajema Breaks New Ground for Rams
By Dennis J. Georgatos - AOL NewsDENVER -- In six NFL seasons, Rams tight end Billy Bajema had never caught a touchdown pass. Indeed, in two of his four years with the 49ers, he didn't even catch a pass. On Sunday against the Denver Broncos, the catches -- and touchdowns -- came in bunches for Bajema, relatively speaking. Bajema had three receptions for 32 yards, two of them going for the first touchdowns of his career to help the St. Louis Rams beat the Denver Broncos 36-33 Sunday for their first road win of the season. "My whole career, I've wanted to be ready and make plays in the passing game when I've been called ...
Sam Bradford, Reggie Smith Look Forward to Reunion as Pros When Rams Face 49ers
By John Hickey - AOL NewsSt. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford, who has the Rams with four wins tied for first place in the NFC West, is the runaway favorite for rookie of the year. San Francisco safety Reggie Smith fully respects that. But Smith, who will see increased playing time Sunday when the 49ers host the Rams, remembers when it wasn't always so. Smith, who played college ball at Oklahoma with Bradford, played against Bradford in high school when, as Smith told the San Francisco media Wednesday, "he was just another guy.'' He's anything but now. Bradford has started every Rams game this season, the only rookie ...
Steven Jackson: I'll 'Definitely Be Out There Sunday'
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsSteven Jackson says he will "definitely be out there Sunday" when the Rams host Carolina, despite undergoing surgery on a broken finger Monday. Jackson suffered a break in his left ring finger during Week 7 at Tampa Bay, then had a pair of pins inserted to stabilize the injury. He still rushed for 110 yards and caught 2 passes for an additional 35 yards in the Rams' 18-17 loss to the Bucs. "It's unfortunate that it had to happen," Jackson said Thursday, according to STLtoday.com, "but it's on the left hand. So it's not as big a deal as if it was on my right hand." The 27-year-old Jackson ...
Sam Bradford's Debut Gives Hope to Downtrodden Rams
By Chris Harry - AOL NewsST. LOUIS -- Fourth-and-goal from the Arizona 1 with five seconds left in the first half. The St. Louis Rams and their $80 million rookie quarterback trailed the Cardinals by a touchdown. Points and momentum were there for the taking. It was a matter of how much the Rams were willing to put on Sam Bradford's shoulders. Apparently, quite a bit. Out of a timeout, out came Bradford. Did the Rams make things easy and ask warhorse back Steven Jackson to do the heavy lifting? Nope. Bradford play-faked to Jackson, rolled to his right and, under pressure, slipped a touch pass through the defense ...
FanHouse TV: Sam Bradford Leads Promising Rebuilding Effort in St. Louis
By FanHouse TV - AOL NewsThe last decade started incredibly for the St. Louis Rams, who won a Super Bowl with their high-flying offense led by Kurt Warner and the "Greatest Show on Turf." The next decade is beginning with a complete rebuild. After a one win season in 2009, the Rams have what they are hoping is their next Super Bowl quarterback in Sam Bradford. FanHouse TV's Thomas George reports on new beginnings in St.Louis. Click to watch. ...
Draft Emphasis on Defensive Ends Paying Off for Rams
By John Hickey - AOL NewsIt seemed a bit of a stretch when the Rams went out and took three defensive ends on the NFL draft's third day. It's looking less stretch-y now with starting right end James Hall currently on the St. Louis sidelines with an injury. The man filling in for Hall, 6-4, 257-pound George Selvie, opened some eyes, including those of coach Steve Spagnuolo, even though Selvie was the last of the three taken in the draft. "He's a long guy who has really good get-off,'' Spagnuolo told the Belleville News-Democrat. "On (two near-sacks) the other night, it was all getting off the ball. He obviously has ...
Between The Lines: St. Louis Rams 2009 Review/2010 Preview
By JJ Cooper - AOL NewsAs we get ready for the start of the NFL season, FanHouse will take a look at the offensive line situation for each team in the league -- how they performed last season and how they project into 2010. You can find additional FanHouse offensive line analysis here. No one can say that the St. Louis Rams don't understand the value of a good offensive line. They spent the second pick of the 2009 draft on offensive tackle Jason Smith, four years after spending a 2005 first-round pick on an offensive tackle (Alex Barron). On top of that, they landed the top free-agent center in the 2009 free-agent ...
Leonard Little Still Undecided Over Return to Rams
By John Hickey - AOL NewsThe Rams seem reasonably certain they would like defensive end Leonard Little to come back and play another season. But Little, a 35-year-old with 12 years under his NFL belt, all with the Rams, is a free agent. And he hasn't decided just what it is he wants to do. "We have been going back and forth,'' coach Steve Spagnuolo said Thursday afternoon. "We haven't had a chance. I want to hear that voice on there because I love Leonard and I love talking to him. Until I get to him and have a feel of what he's thinking, we're still assessing the young guys that we have out there. "I really [want ...
Road Warrior Animal Just Another Dad at Rams' Camp
By John Hickey - AOL NewsJoe Laurinaitis says he always wanted to play professional football. It never worked out for him. But no matter. He's at the St. Louis Rams' training camp every day now and seemingly can't get enough of it. Joe's son, James, is in his second year as the Rams' middle linebacker after having set a club rookie record with 144 tackles last year. And while dad is hanging around and basking in James' success, it's best to note that it's not like Joe didn't have an athletic career of his own, as Steve Korte points out in the Belleville News-Democrat. Joe Laurinaitis was in training for a shot at ...
