“Stan has been a familiar and respected figure in the National Football League for more than 15 years,” said NFL Commissioner Roger
Goodell. “He is a proven businessman and has experienced success in all of his sports franchises, as well as serving as a responsible com-
munity leader. We look forward to him continuing to uphold the goals and values of the NFL as he becomes the majority owner of the St. Louis
Rams.”
Prior to becoming the majority owner of the Rams, Kroenke was the minority owner of the team. He was vital in the effort to bring professional
football back to St. Louis in 1995. With his real estate development expertise, Kroenke was instrumental in the building of Rams Park, now
known as the Russell Training Center.
“We are delighted with today’s vote by NFL owners. It is one of the very high points of our long association with the NFL,” Kroenke said last
Wednesday. “We look forward to working with our fellow owners and Commissioner Goodell as the transaction is finalized and in the years
ahead.
"The Rosenbloom family deserves our thanks for all their efforts on behalf of a great football organization and a great city.
“Building organizations that win consistently is a challenge that we understand. We are excited about the opportunity as principal owner of the
St. Louis Rams.”
“Fifteen years ago, my family entered a partnership with Stan Kroenke and it has been a wonderful relationship,” said Chip Rosenbloom.
“Although today is an emotional day and the end of an era for our family, it is also the beginning of a new chapter in the rich history of the St.
Louis Rams. We look forward to Stan continuing the great tradition of the organization. On behalf of my sister Lucia and our entire family, we
congratulate Stan and the Kroenke family on becoming the majority owner of the Rams.”
Kroenke currently is the owner of the Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), the Colorado Rapids (MLS) and the Colorado
Mammoth (NLL). He is also the largest shareholder of Arsenal FC of the English Premier League.
The Pepsi Center in Denver, also owned by Kroenke, hosted the 2001 NHL All-Star game and the 2005 NBA All-Star game. This facility also
played host to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. In 2004, Kroenke launched the Altitude Sports & Entertainment television network.
The 24-hour regional sports network is home to the Nuggets, Avalanche and the Mammoth.
Kroenke’s extensive business interests include serving as chairman and owner of The Kroenke Group, a private real estate investment and
development company with offices throughout the United States and Canada, with headquarters in Columbia, Mo. Kroenke is one of the
nation’s leading developers of shopping centers and commercial real estate.
Kroenke has undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Missouri and is an active supporter of Mizzou athletic programs. In
February 2009, Kroenke was enshrined into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame. Joining him in the class of 2009 was former Rams defensive
end Grant Wistrom.
E. Stanley Kroenke, named after baseball legends Enos Slaughter and Stan Musial, was born in Cole Camp, Mo., and grew up in Mora, Mo.
Stan and his wife, Ann, have a daughter, Whitney, and a son, Josh.

Bradford's focus on the negative has turned into positive for Rams
BY JIM TROTTER
Sam Bradford wanted no part of the conversation. Three days after completing 23 of 41 passes for 289 yards and the only two
touchdowns in a 20-3 romp over Seattle, the Rams' standout rookie made a calculated scramble when a visitor began patting him on the
back for the performance.
Bradford rose from the stool in front of his locker, flashed an incredulous smile and asked: "Did you see all the throws I missed?"
"Yeah," the visitor replied. "But I also saw all the throws that you made."
Bradford then excused himself to fulfill a media obligation. When teammates and coaches learned of the exchange later in the day, they
smiled and nodded. It was so Bradford. Since being selected No. 1 overall in April's draft, the former Oklahoma star has established that
he's more consumed with missed opportunities than made plays.
"He's a perfectionist," says second-year linebacker James Laurinaitis. "When the two of us go to dinner on Monday or Tuesday night after
games, we try not to talk about football. But when it does come up, he's like, 'I can't believe I threw that pick in the red zone.' He always
talks about the plays that he missed and never pats himself on the back. His attitude is like, I should have had two touchdowns and no
picks, not one and one."
That approach is a big reason the 3-3 Rams have already matched their victory total from the previous two seasons combined, and why
they're in the hunt for the NFC West title, trailing first-place Arizona and Seattle by a half game. Bradford has completed 57 percent of
his passes for 1,357 yards and seven touchdowns, with eight interceptions (which are eight fewer than Colts four-time league MVP
Peyton Manning threw in his first six games as a rookie).
He is doing it with an inconsistent running game -- the Rams rank 17th in rushing, averaging 104.3 yards a game -- and the most
nondescript wideout corps in the league. Consider: Danny Amendola was undrafted and cut by two other teams before sticking with the
Rams last year; Brandon Gibson was a 2009 sixth-round pick who had only one touchdown as a rookie; Mardy Gilyard is a fourth-round
rookie who has only six catches on the year; and Danario Alexander was on the practice squad before being called up and catching a 38-
yard touchdown pass in last week's win over the Chargers.
Still, Bradford refuses to blink or complain. In arguably the most challenging situation a young quarterback can face -- third-and-8 or
longer -- he has a league-high 119.9 rating under those conditions, completing 10 of 18 passes for 149 yards and two scores, with no
picks. Manning's rating is 87.2 rating in that situation.
"He's so smooth and composed," says Lions safety Louis Delmas. "Teams have been throwing eight-man blitzes at him and showing
seven-man, loaded-box fronts at him, trying to get him to lose his composure, but he doesn't get flustered. He's a great quarterback."
Bradford has been everything the organization envisioned, a first-in, last-out guy who possesses natural leadership skills and is consumed
by the game. He earned the respect of veterans in the offseason by shying away from promotional opportunities because he felt he hadn't
done anything to earn the attention.
When the baseball Cardinals invited him to a game and planned to introduce him to the crowd, he stipulated that the team's other QBs had
to be invited and introduced in the same way. The first time he went to dinner with Laurinaitis, he picked up the tab even though
Laurinaitis told him it wasn't necessary. (Bradford could afford it; he signed a potential $78 million deal that includes $50 million in
guarantees.)
"Sam's just a good dude," says veteran cornerback Ronald Bartell, shaking his head and smiling in admiration. "He's one of the guys."

There are no secrets to Bradford's success. He has size (6-foot-4, 218 pounds), intelligence, athleticism and a right arm that's as strong as
Baltimore's Joe Flacco; so says teammate Mark Clayton, a former teammate of Flacco's. He is incredibly accurate when on the move to
his right, and possesses enough touch to drop a seam pass between a trailing linebacker and a charging safety. Then there's his work ethic.
Besides arriving early and staying late, he spends Tuesday afternoons in the coaches' offices going over the previous game and getting a
jump on the next opponent. He arrives with pencils, notebooks and questions -- and a willingness to point out the things he did not do
well.
"I think you have to be critical of yourself," says Bradford. "The minute you stop beating yourself up is the minute that you settle. And the
minute that you settle and stop pushing yourself, that's when things start to go downhill."

On Wednesday at Rams Park, as the quite respectable 4-4 Rams headed into the bye week, their only practice of the week ended with a
lighthearted game of touch football.
Burly offensive linemen swapped out their billowy XXXL jerseys with wide receivers half their weight. Six-foot-seven, 309-pound guard
Adam Goldberg galloped downfield in little (5-11, 186) Danny Amendola's number 16 jersey, and 6-3, 310 backup center Hank Fraley
rumbled around the secondary trying to catch a pass in a Brandon Gibson jersey that was so stretched out over Fraley's massive frame that
the numbers on the jersey didn't so much look like an "11" as two exceedingly well separated pin stripes.
And on the defensive side of the ball, nose tackles and defensive ends got their fingers out of the dirt and squared up in pass coverage,
living the dream that they too were the swiftest men on the field.
In the midst of all this wonderful silliness was the smallest guy on the field, Steve Spagnuolo, cajoling and arbitrating with a whistle
dangling around his neck and a wide old grin spread across his face.
"We sure did have some interesting personnel groupings out there," Spags would say after practice while all of his guys were dashing into
the locker room to begin their hasty retreat into a much-deserved four-day weekend.
A few months ago, if you had said the phrase "Spags' guys," it would have referred to that select group of former New York Giants and
Philadelphia Eagles players who had some connection with Spagnuolo in one of his previous NFL stops. "Spags' guys" was code for the
veterans he had carefully selected to come in and spread his football gospel throughout the locker room.
Yet now, only a year and a half into Spagnuolo's job as the Rams' head coach, that phrase "Spags' guys" takes on a much broader
meaning.
The whole locker room seems to be populated with "his guys." In a very short time, Spagnuolo has done what a lot of folks thought was
impossible. He has altered the losing culture that used to permeate everything in Rams Park and gotten an entire organization to buy into
his way of doing things.
This is no small feat. The toughest thing a head coach has to do when he is trying to turn a loser into a winner is to get the locker room to
buy what he is selling. Spagnuolo has already accomplished that.
Rookie mistakes Spagnuolo may have made during last year's 1-15 season didn't hurt him in that locker room. They didn't question his
moves then and they haven't raised an eyebrow about his strategies since. Essentially, they have bought into the program hook, line and
sinker.
"Team is a lot like the coach, a lot like Spags," said linebacker James Laurinaitis. "He's a tough guy who preaches it all the time, playing
hard, playing with passion, and that's what these guys do. There are a lot of guys in this locker room that care about this football team and
this organization, and that's what they try to show every Sunday."
Two years ago, this was a dispirited football team that had no faith in the head coach at all. Scott Linehan had lost this locker room so
badly that after one game, the team had just finished the post-game prayer when Linehan stood up to say a few words. With all the players
sitting around the room at their locker stalls, Linehan ended his speech with "All right, everybody UP!"
No one moved.

"Everyone UP!"
It took another member of the staff to get the players to rise to their feet. But the message had been delivered loud and clear. It was the
sort of collective insult to authority that gets coaches fired.
But there have been no such insults to Spagnuolo's way of doing things.
"I think in (Spagnuolo's) leadership, we've learned how to deal with adversity in a manner that we don't panic," said tailback Steven
Jackson. "We kind of embrace it. We accept that things are going to happen, but we also know that it's also about the 53 guys with Rams
helmets on who are going to change it. I think guys have really embraced that thought and philosophy."
What Spagnuolo has done is get this team going in the same direction. He has done it through the power of his personality, which is
incredibly positive and always upbeat. He seems to model his style after another low-keyed man of faith, Tony Dungy, who got his point
across with minimal screaming, absolutely no cursing, but also with an unmistakable ability to get across the point that he is in charge.
Jackson tells the story of his first-hand encounter with that quiet but stern hand. It was last year at the first full-squad practice at training
camp. Spagnuolo told the players it was going to be full-contact practice, which meant all-out, bring 'em to the ground tackling was in full
effect.
Jackson, however, did not fully comprehend what that meant. He was expecting guys to let up when they tackled him, but on the first play
he touched the ball, linebacker Chris Chamberlain came at him with a fury.
"Chris came up and went low at my knees and I didn't like it," Jackson said. "I lost it. I was mad and coach let me vent. But he came over
to me and very quietly we spoke."
In essence what happened was, without making a big scene or show of authority, Spagnuolo stood next to Jackson, folded his arms and
quietly told him, if you don't embarrass me in public, I won't embarrass you. So calm down and understand that I need you to buy into this
full contact at all costs. I'm trying to instill toughness in our team, and if you buy in, everyone will.
Jackson calmed down, went back into the huddle and completed the rest of the practice with a high-energy embrace of the full contact. In
fact, after practice in talking to the media, he made a particular emphasis of how much he liked the full contact.
"That's exactly how it happened," Jackson said. "It was that perfect way of showing you how he doesn't try to handle you, try to control
you. He really just knows how to lead. I respect that. We all do. He has a way of showing you why you should buy in, and we all have.
Remember that New England (preseason game)? Remember when they had their starters play deep into the third quarter, and Coach just
kept our young guys in there? The way our young guys handled them the way they did, that was one of those subtle ways he showed us
that the system worked not just with starters. I think that's the moment when he really won us over."

The spotlight never has been a desired destination for Chris Long. Yet try as he may, he's never been able to avoid it.
That's what happens when your father is a Pro Football Hall of Famer, a well-known NFL analyst, a former movie and television actor,
and a popular pitchman for cars, trucks, soups and other commodities.
Then add to the equation the fact that Chris excelled in football, starring in high school, becoming an All-American in college, being
drafted No. 2 overall in 2008, and now appears to be an emerging force in the NFL — all the while playing the same position that his
famous father did.
"It was pretty tough through high school and college; the shadow he casts is pretty great," said Long, a 6-foot-3, 276-pound defensive end
for the Rams. "Nobody believes that you're doing anything on your own merits. … I've always dealt with pressure."
But, he added, "I can never be frustrated at my Pops. It's not his fault he was so good at what he did."
"Up here (in the NFL), it's just show-and-prove time. So it's a lot easier," he said. "I've just got to be the best me that I can be."
On the football field, the best of Chris Long seems to be coming out. Playing exclusively at left defensive end this year after being moved
around his first two seasons, Long not only has been strong against the run but also has been barging into opposing backfields at a
consistent rate.
"He's getting a lot of pressure, and the sacks are starting to come," cornerback Ron Bartell said. "I think he's starting to prove to a lot of
people why he went No. 2" in the draft.
"I feel like I'm playing better," he said. "I'm just trying to be a part of this defense, and where it's going is really exciting to me. It's really
fun every week to come out and try to challenge myself to improve."
sports family
Howie and Diane Long raised three sons: Chris, now 25; Kyle, 21; and Howie Jr., 20. All grew up immersed in sports, and still are.
Kyle is a 6-7, 290-pound defensive end — of course — at Saddleback College, a junior college in Mission Viejo, Calif. Howie Jr., 5-11
and 175, plays lacrosse at the University of Virginia, Chris' alma mater.
"I think we went through eight or nine years of little league (baseball), and then I went through nine or 10 years of high school" sports,
Howie Sr. said.
Howie Long spent 13 seasons (1981-93) in the NFL, all with the Raiders. An eight-time Pro Bowler, he was inducted into the Hall of
Fame in 2000.
Howie and Diane, who worked as a corporate lawyer, lived in Los Angeles after he retired. But as their family grew, they decided to look
for a better place to raise the boys.
They settled on Charlottesville, Va., a pastoral college town founded in 1762. The Long boys embraced the bucolic setting. They swam in
the James River. Chris fished in Sugar Hollow, a passion he still enjoys. "I like being outside," he said.
Howie said he "honestly really didn't" attempt to steer Chris toward football. But shortly after the move, Chris decided that he wanted to
give his dad's sport a try.

"Late at night after everyone's in bed, I turned to my wife and said, 'Oh, he'll get his nose bloodied and he'll come home and won't want to
play,'" Howie said.
He admits that he underestimated his son's determination. "The one thing he does have is a very strong will," Howie said.
That trait came in handy; Chris has taken his time flourishing at each level. "He started out slow in high school and became a great player,
started out slow in college and became a great player, started out slow in the pros and I think he's moving in the direction of being a
significant player," Howie said.
"That's kind of the pattern for him. He adapts well. He's kind of a 12-rounder kind of a guy."
James Hall, the Rams' veteran defensive end, saw Long struggle to adjust to the Rams' 4-3 scheme as a rookie after playing in a 3-4 at
Virginia, then flounder at bit last year when asked to play in several places.
Now, Long is 'starting to understand how to come up with a game plan to rush guys, and it's been paying off for him," Hall said.
Long has taken over at the left end spot that Leonard Little occupied for nearly a decade, piling up 87½ sacks. "It's been nice just to be
able to try to focus and really home in on what I'm doing," Long said. "I feel like there's a lot of things I can do over there that can help
this team."
"I think the left end position is a natural position for him," he said. "His power arm is his right arm. And then what comes is getting used
to playing all the blocking combinations out of a right-handed stance on the left side of the defense.
"And the quicker you become kind of fluent at playing the blocking combinations, the faster you start to play, the more the game starts to
slow down."
Before you know it, you're getting in the face of quarterbacks and disrupting offenses.
"We've always had great promise for Chris," Rams defensive coordinator Ken Flajole said. "I'm glad he's starting to get some production
from a stats standpoint because he deserves it. He works hard."
On the field, Long is "all out," Bartell said. "Every snap, you know he's going to bring it. He's a very intense guy."
After his first two NFL seasons, Howie Long had recorded 5½ sacks. Chris posted nine in the same span. But Howie erupted for 13 in his
third season, a number Chris isn't likely to attain this year.
Still, two sacks last week against San Diego pushed his total to 2½, a pace that would give him seven for the season. He also has a team-
high six quarterback pressures.
And so the pattern of incremental progress that his father outlined continues.
"I just feel like the more I do something, the better I get at it," Chris said. "You're going to have some setbacks, no doubt about it. But if
you just keep the faith in what you're doing and just continue to trust that the work you're putting in is going to pay off, you've got to
believe it will."
Count Hall among the Long believers. "The sky's the limit for him," he said.

In the unusual din of another noisy winning locker room, Steven Jackson stood in front of his stall Sunday afternoon and began the sort of
delicate procedure that only gimpy running backs and horror movie mummies are familiar with.
"Look at all of this stuff that kept me together," he bellowed. The Rams' running back began to peel off the many protective layers that
had essentially kept him all together during a 20-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. A victory that not only put his surprising 2-2 team
in a first-place tie for the NFC West lead, but also pushed Jackson up a notch in the Rams' record book.
First he carefully took off the white game pants, then it was the gray compression shorts with the high-tech bubble-wrapped padding. That
revealed an odd looking, black corset-like contraption that had a bunch of Velcro straps on it that zig-zagged across his tender right leg
and strained groin like wire on a burlap sack.
"They got so many things wrapped on me, I couldn't move my leg in the wrong direction even if I tried," he said, laughing again. "Look at
this. Strapped in pretty good. And I have two more pairs of compression shorts on under this too."
Jackson was not even remotely close to 100 percent Sunday, but nursing a badly strained groin muscle, and swaddled in more protective
layers than King Tut's corpse, this was perhaps one of the most impressive games of his seven-year NFL career.
For the record, this was the day that Jackson (6,991 yards) moved into second place on the Rams' all-time career rushing list. He passed
the legendary Marshall Faulk (6,959 yards) early in the fourth quarter on a 15-yard run that allowed him to close within 354 yards of Hall
of Famer Eric Dickerson's club record 7,245 yards. But that wasn't how Jackson made his biggest impression.
This wasn't about records. This was about all those things that lead to records. Heart and soul and effort and will to win. This was about
all those things that lead to professional respect like hard-nosed, warrior-like running in a game no one outside the Rams locker room
thought was possible after watching him get his groin pulled apart like taffy a week ago against the Washington defense.
The stat line will say he gained only 70 yards on 22 carries, for a 3.2-yard average, plus 54 yards receiving. But the stat sheet doesn't
begin to tell the full story of what Jackson accomplished.
Though he lacked the ability to open it up and truly run at full speed, and all the protection wrapped him up so tight he couldn't make any
abrupt change of direction, Jackson put on a gutsy show that was a highlight of competitive toughness.
Remember the fourth-and-1 play in the second quarter when Jackson slammed into the Seattle defense, ran into a wall of defenders, kept
pumping his feet and somehow popped out for a 5-yard gain?
Remember the 49-yard screen pass in the third quarter, when he burst through so many reaching, groping, flailing Seahawks defenders,
running just hard enough to shed those tacklers like so many pesky flies, but not quite hard enough to cause that tender muscle to tear?
Remember the two 15-yard runs in the fourth quarter that were simply the power of Jackson's burning will to lead his team to victory?
"I was not able to run full speed," said Jackson. "But as a leader, you can't preach one thing and do something else."
So he strapped it up, put on his big boy pants and played as fine a game as he has ever played in his football life, even if the stat sheet will
never properly reflect it, which seems to be typical of Jackson's life here as a Ram.

It's taken Jackson seven long years to push past Faulk — perhaps the most celebrated St. Louis Ram of them all — on the franchise's all-
time career rushing list. When his career is all done, Jackson will be on top of that career list by a country mile, because all he does is
carry that rock like a big man should. He carries it with a violent urgency, just like all the other great NFL big backs before him did. And
when he is all done, there is little doubt that people will remember Steven Jackson as one of the best to ever play the game.
But because he has played for so many awful teams in those seven years — and factor in a lot of ancillary, ignorant nonsense that was
never, ever about football — Jackson's popularity in this town has always come in begrudgingly stingy doses. Jackson's part of that
special, under-appreciated fraternity in St. Louis sports with the likes of Tony La Russa, who could never be Whitey Herzog, Marc
Bulger, who could never be Kurt Warner and probably Edgar Renteria, who wasn't Ozzie Smith. Every last one of them was cursed with
the unfortunate burden of following a legend, and never knowing how to step out of the impossible shadows cast by those fan favorites.
So Jackson's cardinal sin was that he wasn't Faulk, which sadly prevented a lot of folks from developing a full appreciation for all the hard
work and athletic excellence that Jackson kept producing every football Sunday.
Jackson kept running hard, kept banging away, kept sacrificing his body, gobbling up yards and earning professional respect all around
the league.
And now there is a change in the mood around here. This is not such a bad looking football team any more. And if the victories do begin
piling up, perhaps that will provide Jackson with the universal respect he should have earned around here a long time ago.

Call him Mr. Old School: Jackson playing through pain to give Rams a chance to win
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
Steven Jackson figures he might have to play one-handed a few more weeks, even after the St. Louis Rams' bye.
Jackson grew up idolizing tough-minded running backs like Emmitt Smith, who he remembered playing despite a separated shoulder, and
likes to consider himself an old-school type who can set an example for younger players. This year he also persevered through a groin
strain for two weeks, and made it through the final half-dozen games last season despite a back injury that kept him off the practice field
and required offseason surgery.
His unselfish production has been one of the factors in the Rams' surprising 4-4 start coming off a 1-15 season.
"Those kinds of stories that I heard growing up kind of fueled me to want to be a tough, old-school type of player," Jackson said
Wednesday. "Not just a running back, but someone who's gritty and willing to put it on the line week in and week out."
Last week, six days after surgery to insert two pins into a broken left index finger, he made the Carolina Panthers' defense respect the run
and give rookie Sam Bradford time to throw.
"You can't slow that guy down," Bradford said. "I don't think anything with his hand changed anything in the run game today or really
anything with our game plan."
After making a few more one-handed grabs in practice Wednesday before players scattered for four days off, Jackson said the original
timetable for removing the pins was six to eight weeks, but he's hoping he might have to play only two more games before he can use
both hands again.
Carrying the ball exclusively in his right hand, Jackson had 59 yards on 23 carries against Carolina and made a one-handed grab for 4
yards. The rushing total was 1 yard above his season worst, although the 58-yard game came in only 10 carries before he hurt the groin in
Week 3.
A few games before eclipsing Eric Dickerson for the franchise career rushing record last month, Jackson knew exactly how many yards
he needed. During pre-game warmups before the Panthers game, he donned goggles to pay tribute to Dickerson.
Jackson is fourth in the NFC with 676 yards, with a 3.9-yard average and two touchdowns, and had three straight 100-yard games before
last week. But he knows now that numbers often don't tell the whole story.
"It's funny for me to say that, but I'm actually learning that it's not always about that," Jackson said. "It's about giving your team an
advantage.
And keeping the Rams rolling. They're a half-game out of first place in the NFC West and only two wins shy of their total from the
previous three seasons.
"It's very exciting," Jackson said. "We're always setting goals for ourselves, so this next month is going to be very important to get
ourselves in a great position to be able to play in the postseason.
"It's very, very exciting for me. It's been a long time."

After the agonizing loss at Tampa Bay, Rams quarterback Sam Bradford sat at his locker for a long time, looking down. How did the
Rams blow a 17-3 lead? How did the victory slip away? Bradford stared at the carpet at his feet, but no answers would be found there.
The solution would be found in Bradford's head, and in his heart.
Disappointed by the loss, displeased with himself for making too many errant throws and not putting points on the board in the second
half, Bradford addressed the media and vowed to get better. And you could just tell by the look in his eye that Bradford planned to do
everything possible to prevent a Tampa Bay failure from happening again.
Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome, Bradford was crisp, in command and throwing fastballs. Pardon for me for putting baseball into the
mix, but this was like watching Chris Carpenter mow down hitters on his best day. Bradford fired strikes, and lots of them. When
Bradford needed to reach back for that perfect pitch to get out of a jam, he usually found it. And the Carolina Panthers whiffed.
In the Rams' 20-10 victory on Isaac Bruce Day, Bradford completed 25 of 32 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns as the feisty home
team moved to 4-4 on the season. Nothing that Bradford put in the air was remotely close to being intercepted. Bradford's finest form
surfaced on third-down plays, when he completed nine of 11 passes for 73 yards. And both TD passes were third-down connections.
This was a splendid exhibition of sharpness and accuracy. And it told us something about the rookie, his high standards and his refusal to
settle for anything less than being great. Bradford will pay the price, invest the time. He'll sack out in the meeting room, his eyes reddened
from watching video at all hours. Sam the Ram does not go out. He does not care about nightlife. He is absolutely consumed by the quest
to become an extraordinary quarterback.
"Says a lot about him," Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "We felt that way about Sam right from the beginning. He's a competitor.
For only being in for eight games, I can say he's a pro. Normally you come into this league and you learn how to become pro. For some
reason Sam knew that already. He continues to learn. But he's got it right. His thought process is correct."
Bradford's dedication in the film room helped him clean up his mistakes in the Tampa Bay game. Bradford noticed that his mechanics
were off, so he tuned his fundamentals. "Just a couple of little things with my feet and not getting my body in a great position," he said. "I
felt like today I was really able to keep my feet under me and get my body in a good position. I think that's why I was able to be accurate."
Please don't discredit Bradford's numbers by saying he threw a lot of short passes, which are easy to complete. The Rams keep losing
receivers to injury. Bradford is down to four wideouts.. One is a rookie, Mardy Gilyard, who hasn't been able to get rolling. Another,
Laurent Robinson, has been hobbled by assorted minor injuries. And running back Steven Jackson played Sunday's game with a broken
finger.
The factors were aligned against Bradford. The Panthers knew that the rookie had limited targets. And no real deep threats. The Panthers
wanted to keep Jackson under control and not let him get going for a big day. They moved their linebackers and defensive backs up.
Jackson wasn't going to rumble free. Next, the Panthers tried to cut off the short routes. They weren't going to give Bradford the quick-
hitting passes.
To complete passes, Bradford had to gun the football into small openings. And his timing had to be nearly perfect, or the opening would
vanish. There was no room for inaccuracy. Bradford had to hit the bull's-eye, and often do it with blitzers circling like sharks.
In these circumstances completing 78 percent of your passing attempts is exceptional. Coming into the game, the Panthers had allowed an
opponents' quarterback rating of 65.7, the lowest (or best) in the league. The completion rate (55 percent) against the Panthers was the
sixth-best by a defense this season. The Panthers had picked off 10 passes while giving up only eight touchdowns, one of the league's best
ratios.

So you can understand why they were so impressed by Bradford. And annoyed by him, too.
"You always want to disrupt the quarterback, but he's a good young quarterback," Carolina cornerback Richard Marshall said. "It was a
lot of little short stuff. It gets frustrating because you're on the receiver. You know you're right there. But he would throw it to where only
the receiver could catch it."
When Bradford saw the coverage he wanted, he picked his hot spots downfield. He was absolutely brilliant on the scoring drive that gave
the Rams a 17-3 lead with 10 minutes, 52 seconds remaining in the game.
On second and 15, Bradford noted that the Panthers went man coverage outside on wideout Brandon Gibson. Oh, a rare chance to stretch
the right arm and go deep. The result: a bullet of a completion for 33 yards. A few plays later, the Rams faced a third and 18 from the
Carolina 23-yard line. Bradford rolled right, patiently waited for tight end Daniel Fells to clear, then pulled up to make his pitch. The
result: touchdown pass, 23 yards, to Fells.
Ballgame.
Bradford's numbers on third down this season are fairly remarkable for a rookie. He's completed 55 of 92 (60 percent) for six touchdowns,
no interceptions and a passer rating of 101.1. You'd think that a rookie QB would be caught in his most confused and vulnerable state on
third downs, with the pressure and the heat invading his space.

They grew up only a few miles apart, although in different countries. Ron Bartell is a native of Detroit; Oshiomogho Atogwe, whose
parents emigrated from Nigeria in 1974, was raised in Windsor, Ontario, just across the Detroit River from the Motor City.
Their paths never crossed then, and they ultimately were separated by a continent. Bartell landed at an NCAA Division I-AA college on
the East Coast, Howard. Atogwe headed west, for Stanford and the powerful Pacific 10 Conference.
It happened in April 2005, when the Rams selected Bartell in the second round of the draft (No. 50 overall) and Atogwe in the third (No.
66). In the 5½ seasons since then, they've become vital contributors to a defense — and a team — that appears to be on the rise after some
difficult times.
"We sit and talk about that every so often, just the road we've traveled," said Atogwe, the Rams' free safety and defensive captain. "It's
been a challenging one but I'd say a purifying one, one that's made us better, made us stronger."
"It's been an interesting career for both of us," added Bartell, the team's top cornerback. "We've been through a lot here, and hopefully
we'll be able to see this thing through when it gets turned around."
Perhaps that revival is under way. In the previous five seasons since Bartell and Atogwe arrived, the Rams won just 20 of 80 games, and
their defense never ranked higher than 21st in the 32-team NFL.
The Rams head into Sunday's home game against Carolina with a 3-4 record — equaling their total wins of the previous two seasons —
and a defensive unit that's 15th in the league overall, No. 12 in scoring defense.
Bartell and Atogwe deserve a sizable portion of the credit, according to defensive coordinator Ken Flajole.
"They're real important ... they've been productive players for us," Flajole said. "And we need their leadership. Our guys rally around
them."
"It's rewarding, but it's a process," Bartell said. "We're still not where we want to be. But just to see how we are right now, knowing that
we still have room for improvement, is exciting."
Bartell, 28, shuttled between cornerback and safety his first couple of seasons with the Rams, seeing action mostly as a backup. A starting
role was always within his sights, however.
"I never doubted myself," Bartell said. "It was just a matter of getting consistent coaching. I went through a lot of coaching changes when
I first got here. They were in a situation where they were trying to win now, and when you're younger, you don't realize that."
Counting interims Joe Vitt and Jim Haslett, Bartell and Atogwe worked for five head coaches in their first five seasons.

Bartell started 12 games in 2007, then moved into the lineup full-time in '08. By then, he was being used exclusively at cornerback. At 6
feet 1 and 205 pounds, Bartell is strong enough to press receivers at the line of scrimmage, and he's usually asked to cover the opposition's
best pass-catcher.
"I'm impressed with his work ethic," rookie cornerback Jerome Murphy said. "I think of myself as a physical corner, and I like how he
gets his hands on receivers and is able to reroute them."
Atogwe, 29, played sparingly as a rookie, but he, too, was confident in his ability to start in the NFL.
"I always believed that I could play," he said. "Sometimes you'll let situations or circumstances get the best of you and you may question
yourself: 'I'm not playing; what does that mean? Am I not good enough?' ... I was just faithful to the belief that was in me."
Atogwe became a starter in 2006. He hadn't missed a game until a shoulder injury, which required surgery, knocked him out of the final
four games last season.
Atogwe, 5-11 and 205, has developed into one of the league's top takeway artists, with 20 career interceptions and 20 forced fumbles.
"He's so detailed in his work, and he puts in the time that's needed to (excel) in this league," first-year safety Darian Stewart said. "I feel
like he's a perfect example for a guy like myself to look up to."
Growing together
Bartell and Atogwe, who have adjoining lockers, often are together outside of Rams Park, too. "We're very close. We hang out all the
time," Atogwe said. "I was a groomsman in his wedding (last June), and he'll be a groomsman in my wedding (next May). He's one of my
closest friends ... like a brother."
Bartell said Atogwe is "a man of faith, a great friend, a great teammate, someone I know if something's going on I can rely on. I love him
as a brother, I love him as a teammate."
"As a rookie, it's hard to truly understand the nature of the NFL, the game but also the business aspect, and just how it all plays a role and
how much of a job this is, an occupation more than it is just a sport," Atogwe said. "It takes some time to learn that, but through the years
I've been able to learn it and develop as a player and as a person."
"We've grown up together in this league," Bartell said. "To be able to play with somebody that you're close to off the field for six years,
it's been a pleasure."
And with the Rams becoming relevant again, the enjoyment is enhanced.
"Every win is a lot more gratifying; there have been too few wins for both of us since we've been here," Bartell said. "I think we look at it
a lot differently than a lot of guys in this locker room. We take the losses a lot more personal, and we enjoy the wins a lot more, too.
Because we know how hard it is to win in this league."
Now, if Atogwe could just pass along his ball-hawking skills to Bartell, who has muffed three interceptions this year.

With Bartell within earshot, Atogwe cracked, "That might be the only impossibility that exists. I can say he's working on it, but this is one
of those 50- to 60-year operations for him to actually get it."
Feigning indignation, Bartell barked, "Shut up, O.J., just shut up."
Like brothers.

Missouri native Stan Kroenke was unanimously approved as principal owner of the Rams 2½ weeks ago by NFL owners in Atlanta. It
will take another two to three weeks for all the paperwork to be complete and for the deal to close. But for all practical purposes, Kroenke
will take in his first game as the team's controlling owner Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome when the Rams open the season against
Arizona.
The Post-Dispatch caught up with Kroenke on Friday evening. What follows are his thoughts on a variety of topics, including his vision
for the franchise, what kind of owner he will be, John Shaw, the LA stadium committee, his approach to making changes and more. ...
Q: This has been more than 15 years in the making; how does it feel to be the principal owner of the Rams?
A: "Actually it's been more like 17, if you go back to when we tried to get the expansion team in St. Louis. And there are a lot of people
who I worked with that helped make it happen, people who I got to know and enjoyed working with and considered friends. Tom
Eagleton (the late U.S. senator), Mayor (Freeman) Bosley and Buzz Westfall (the late St. Louis County executive) and others. I think we
have demonstrated that we can run successful organizations and build them. So this is very exciting. We're excited to be able to continue
that process in St. Louis. You know, the Rams have a good tradition when you think about it, and we hope to continue it."
Q: Now that the preseason is over, what are your impressions of the 2010 team?
A: "We've got some good young players. Watching the game in New England, I was impressed with Sam Bradford. In that kind of setting,
going up against Tom Brady and going against their starting defense, he showed a lot of poise. It's like what (Patriots owner) Robert Kraft
told me after the game, 'Looks like you've got a good quarterback.' And I told him, 'You ought to know.' But we've got a good young
linebacker in James Laurinaitis, and other good young players. So you hope to see progress."
Q: How well do you know coach Steve Spagnuolo and Billy Devaney, and as minority owner of the team until now, how much input did
you have on team decisions?
A: "Well, I was involved in the interview process with Steve — he's a good man. Billy I don't know as well. In the past as minority
owner, you're involved in team decisions. But not to the extent that I will be now as principal owner. I guess that's all you can say about
it."
Q: Factoring in your hectic schedule, in general how much time will you spend with the team?
A: "I enjoyed seeing the team in New England. I hope to attend as many games as I can. I've spent a lot of time in St. Louis over the
years, and I don't think that will change now."
Q: Fans hope you will become a savior of this franchise. What is your vision for the team? What kind of owner will you be?
A: "I don't think you need a savior. We like to know what's going on. We like to be involved, but the No. 1 thing is to find the right people
and put them in place. Hire good people … and let them go. Let them do their job. I like to win. I like teams to be competitive. And as I
mentioned in Atlanta at the owners meetings, by being competitive I don't mean winning one year. Anybody can be competitive in the pro
sports business every so often. But the real challenge is to be competitive every year. In Denver with the Nuggets and Avalanche, we've
been in the playoffs between 70 and 80 percent of the time. That's the harder part. And that's the model we'd like to have in St. Louis."
A: "I think if you look at the NBA and at the (soccer) spending in Europe, the teams that spend the most money aren't always the teams
that win the most. So it's just not about spending money. It's about spending money wisely. Being smart with your money. Again, we like
to win, and we like teams to be competitive. So if we see a player who will help us (in free agency or via trade), I'll say, 'Yeah, go out and
make that happen.'"

Q; Will you make changes if necessary this season, or will you take more of a wait-and-see approach this first year with the Rams?
A: "I'm not going to jump to conclusions. There's a certain part of you that wants to observe and see what happens. We'll be evaluating
things. We're going to have a lot of fun and have a very successful run of it. But I'm watching. I'll be watching. This is a meritocracy, I
guess you could say. And you want to see progress."
Q: How involved will you be with the Nuggets and Avalanche franchises in Denver this season?
A: "It will be just as outlined in the agreement to purchase the club. I will remain owner of the teams for the prescribed time — up to four
years. But my son Josh Kroenke will run the Nuggets and have management control transferred in his name. Josh will be governor of the
Avalanche, and (current team president) Pierre Lacroix will be vice governor. But really Pierre Lacroix will run the club. He has been
running the club. Josh Kroenke has been ready to take over the Nuggets for a couple of years. He still is very young, but he's had his
'10,000 hours,' if you read Malcolm Gladwell. Josh is ready to do that. The transfer of management control will be complete by the end of
the year with those teams, but I will continue as owner (through December 2014)."
Q: Will John Shaw continue to have a role with the franchise, and in what capacity?
A: "John Shaw has been invaluable to Georgia Frontiere, to Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez, and to me, and is a friend. He has
been involved with the Rams for 30 years. Sure, there were some bad years and some mistakes, but if you look back over the 30 years
there was also a lot of success. And I think people have to remember that. He brought a Super Bowl championship to St. Louis. He was
front-and-center in bringing Dick Vermeil here. But his future role is something he and I will discuss in the coming weeks and months."
Q: Do you think it is important to start a dialogue now with St. Louis-area officials on the stadium lease issue, an issue that will begin to
accelerate in 2012?
A: "First of all, I want to say this. Why would I be involved in trying to get an expansion team here, why would I be involved in the Rams'
move to St. Louis, why would I invest so much money in the team if I wanted to lead the charge out of town? I do not want to lead the
charge out of town. I do want to have a competitive team, and it takes revenue to be competitive. We're going to work really hard to have
a model that produces revenue where we can be consistently competitive. So yes, I guess you can say it's important to have discussions
(on the stadium lease)."
Q: You have been on the committee for quite some time, but why are you on the NFL's Los Angeles stadium working group?
A: "I was appointed to that committee by the commissioner, just like I was appointed to the TV network committee by the commissioner.
I did not volunteer or go 'sign up' for those committees. I guess because of my background in real estate development the league thought I
would be useful on the stadium committee. And I have experience in different markets. That's all there is to that."

Lead them.
St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo delivered that message to second-year linebacker James Laurinaitis this summer.
"I told him before the first preseason game that there had to be a moment where he grabbed the huddle and said, 'This is my show now,' "
Spagnuolo says. "He has to let the huddle know when it needs to step up and play with a little more juice. He's starting to do that."
"I was that way in high school (Plymouth Wayzata High School in Minnesota). I was that way at Ohio State," he says. "I'd rather be the
person making calls and getting yelled at if I screw up than the one blaming somebody else."
Laurinaitis served as a team captain at Ohio State in 2007-08, the seventh member of the Buckeyes to be elected captain twice in a career.
He says he grew immeasurably under coach Jim Tressel.
"Coach Tressel said to me, 'The best way to become a leader is to be someone who can be trusted to make plays and be accountable,' " he
says.
The second-round draft choice, taken 35th overall, was all of that and more as a rookie. He started all 16 games and set a franchise record
for a first-year player by making 146 tackles, 98 unassisted, to go with seven passes broken up, two sacks, two interceptions and a forced
fumble.
There were times when he wanted to say more in the huddle. Then he remembered his place.
"As a rookie, it's hard," he says. "You don't want to step on toes of guys who are 10 years older."
Laurinaitis learned the ways of professional sports from his father. Joe was never afraid to step on toes — or heads — as he pounded out a
living as a wrestler known as "The Animal."
His son, who ranked seventh with 375 career tackles when he graduated from Ohio State, quickly developed a reputation in the NFL as
someone who relishes contact almost as much as his no-holds-barred father. The advances he made in understanding offensive and
defensive schemes are equally impressive.
"He's got a football mind," Spagnuolo says. "He'll probably be a coach someday."
Laurinaitis barely allowed himself — or anyone on the coaching staff — an offseason in his determination to help St. Louis rebound from
a league-worst 1-15 record.
"This guy is one of the more passionate guys about the game of football," Spagnuolo says. "Even during the offseason, vacation time, he's
texting me about what film he can watch.
"At the position he's playing, that can permeate through the defense and the rest of your team."
Laurinaitis understands the link between preparation and performance. He might not always make the play, but he is intent on being in
position to make it.
"You are going to make physical mistakes. That is part of the game," he says. "There are going to be times when you try to get off your
block and it doesn't happen or you try to make a tackle and miss.
"But it's a lot easier to play football when you are doing the right thing."
As well as Laurinaitis performed as a rookie, Spagnuolo knows he suffered from information overload.
"His head was spinning, thinking about which way he was going, right or left," the coach says.

St. Louis, reeling from a series of poor drafts until recently, ranked 31st in allowing 27.3 points a game. The Rams were 25th in yielding
an average of 235.2 passing yards. They finished 29th in surrendering 372.8 yards a game.
Although no one player can fix all of that, Spagnuolo now trusts Laurinaitis to implement everything the coaching staff wants. That
includes critical in-game adjustments that he views as being even more important than the game plan.
"(During) the game, when you have to make changes and you convey it to the linebacker who gets it done on the field, that is when you
know you have a chance to have a good defense," Spagnuolo says.
Does Laurinaitis ever act anymore as if the coach is speaking a different language?
They are the eyes of an emerging young leader who wants to excel.
"I hold myself to a high standard. You have to," Laurinaitis says. "You have to aim for perfection."

Though he didn't need to be there until the start of practice at 8:15 a.m., St. Louis Rams defensive end James Hall showed up nearly two
hours early for work Sunday morning.
"I was walking through the building this morning at 6:30 and he's walking through the door," Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "That's
James. That's the way he was during the entire regular season. He's up early. He knows how to take care of his body, and he's a great
example for these young guys.''
At 33 years and almost six months, Hall is the oldest player on the Rams' roster.
Hall said starting early was his way of keeping up with the younger players.
"It's better to just come out swinging, man," Hall said. "The older you get, the more you have to do to get ready for the season. Take care
of your body, and things like that. Just wake up early and get your day going."
Despite being in the twilight of his career, Hall clearly still enjoys his job.
"I love what I do for a living," Hall said. "The bad thing about it is, unfortunately, it has to come to an end. I'm trying to stretch that out as
long as I can."
Hall is entering his 11th season in the NFL, and his fourth season with the Rams. He fought through injuries to start 14 games and register
59 tackles and 4 1/2 sacks last season.
Hall is going against rookie left tackle Rodger Saffold in practice, and school has been in session during pass-blocking drills.
"I know one good thing for (Saffold) -- well good or bad, however he wants to look at it -- he's going against James Hall a lot," Spagnuolo
said. "I mean there's a veteran (who has) been in this league a long time who's still skilled. I told James he's doing a heck of a job, and
he'll make Rodger better."
Hall knows the Rams are counting on Saffold being a starter this season.
"He's a real athletic kid, and I am going to get him ready," Hall said. "I'm going to be physical with him. I'm going to make him tough.
He's a Big Ten guy, so he has a lot of toughness with him already."
Hall isn't a vocal player, but he's still one of the Rams' leaders.
"I've never been a rah-rah guy," Hall said. "I've always been a guy who tries to lead by example. If I say something, it is going to come
from the heart and I mean it."
The Rams donned full pads for the first time during their practice Sunday morning.
Spagnuolo ran the Oklahoma drill -- an old school drill involving a defensive player, a blocker and a ballcarrier. The defender must shed
the block and tackle the ballcarrier.
"High school," Hall said of the last time he'd run the Oklahoma drill before Sunday. "It was fun, though. Coach told us yesterday evening
that he was going to put it in, and guys were pretty jacked up about it.''
"We call it the Ram drill,'' he said. "We've got (Sam) Bradford. We don't need to be calling drills 'Oklahoma' drills.''
Bradford, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft out of the University of Oklahoma, has received plenty of teasing after the
quarterback signed his record-setting contract Saturday.

Bradford was forced to sing in front of the team Saturday night, and he was placed back as a punt returner during a special teams period
during practice Sunday.
"For $50 million, I think you should do a little more than just play quarterback," Hall joked.
Reminded that Bradford didn't actually catch any punts, Hall said, "We don't want him to catch it. Stay away from those hands, those
fingers."

St. Louis Rams rookie wideout-returner Mardy Gilyard keeps a snapshot in his wallet of the green 2002 Pontiac Grand Am that helped
deliver him to the NFL.
Talk about a hurt locker. Gilyard lived in one, spending long, cold nights in the borrowed car, sometimes sleeping in the driver's seat
during a six-and-a-half-month stretch in 2006. That humbling reality check helped transform an immature former University of Cincinnati
defensive back without a roof over his head into a hardworking, potential home run-hitting NFL playmaker.
Gilyard had his scholarship revoked after his freshman season for academic reasons and worked four jobs to pay back the five-figure debt
he owed the school. He could have dropped out and turned his back on his obligations. But Gilyard kicked hard and surfaced with a
vengeance.
When the Rams drafted him with the 99th overall pick last month, it capped quite the improbable comeback route by the 6-foot, 187-
pound wide receiver who racked up 3,003 receiving yards and 25 touchdown catches, both Cincinnati career records.
"You can say I came to the Rams from the green Grand Am instead of the green room," Gilyard said with a prideful laugh.
"I was homeless, living in a car, working four jobs. Now I'm a Ram.
Gilyard paid his dues, working a construction job, cooking and delivering pizzas and selling cutlery door to door before coach Brian Kelly
took over the program at the end of the 2006 season and gave Gilyard another chance with the Bearcats, this time as a wide receiver.
"I was working hard to get my real job back, my football job," Gilyard said. "I had to get back to school.
"It just showed I'm a hard worker and that I could fight through adversity. That's all the game of football is: It's about fighting through
adversity."
When Rams general manager Billy Devaney called on the morning of April 24 to inform Gilyard the Rams were poised to select him with
the first overall pick of the draft's fourth round, well you better believe that Gilyard broke down.
"I was on my way to go crabbing, and I had stopped at McDonald's when my cell rang, and Billy Devaney told me, 'Hey, we're going to
take you,' " Gilyard said from his Bunnell, Fla., home. "I cried a river.
"I'm blessed."
Blessed wasn't what he felt four years ago after he'd been kicked out of school and his apartment. He wanted to return home to Florida.
Except that his mother and older brother, Otis, wouldn't let him.
"I had to find faith and myself," Gilyard said. "I had to grow up. I was a real knucklehead kid, arrogant, cocky, immature. I had to grow
up."
Gilyard showed the resolve no NFL scouting combine or pro-day drill can measure.
"Most guys would have folded," Devaney said. "You flunk out of school, you say, 'Well, OK.' You go back to Florida."
As a junior, he earned 2008 all-Big East honors with 81 receptions for 1,276 yards.
He finished as Cincinnati's all-time leader in receptions (204) while piling up nearly 6,000 all-purpose yards.

Publication: USAtoday.com Section/# of Pages: Sports/2 of 2 Date: 5/11/10
He brings a needed dynamic to a feeble Rams offense that averaged fewer than 11 points a game in 2009.
Gilyard ran a 4.51-second, 40-yard dash at his pro day. But his fluid quickness in and out of breaks impressed scouts nearly as much as
his candor.
"There's no one perfect in this world," Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "But what Mardy has shown is he can go through a tough
time, persevere.
"He showed a lot of resolve in what he did, failing out of college and then coming back and working those jobs. He obviously wanted it
bad enough."
Gilyard returned punts and displayed what Spagnuolo termed "a smoothness" in his route running while catching passes from quarterback
and fellow rookie Sam Bradford during last weekend's rookie minicamp.
Gilyard was given No. 81, former Rams star Torry Holt's number. And he certainly stands a fair chance of quickly making his mark
among an inexperienced collection of wideouts.
"I'm going to do everything I can in my power to make the game exciting and bring back 'The Greatest Show on Turf' to St. Louis,"
Gilyard said.
NFLDraftScout.com senior analyst Rob Rang projected Gilyard as a third-rounder and considers him a steal, given St. Louis got him one
round later.
"He and the Rams are a perfect fit," Rang said. "He can come in and play in the slot immediately and be a return man. He's a better route
runner than you expect from a guy coming from a traditional spread offense."
And Rang also notes that Gilyard has shown an ability to cope with pressure.
"He has a history of playing his best when the lights are on," he said.
"And I don't know if there's a better story from the 2010 draft in terms of Mardy realizing he made some mistakes, fighting through
adversity. And then doing it at the level he did, speaks to his toughness."

With the lights dimmed, a mini-fireworks display erupting, and Rams fans screaming approval, Rodger Saffold ran out onto the Edward
Jones Dome turf last week with the rest of his Rams teammates.
A few minutes later he saw Joey Porter, who breathes fire as Arizona's pass-rushing linebacker.
Porter is known for trash-talking during games, and Sunday was no exception. He directed some remarks Saffold's way early in the game,
but on the advice of his veteran teammates, Saffold didn't bite. So Porter switched tactics.
"He was kind of talking to me through Steven Jackson," Saffold said. "He was like, 'Oh man, you ain't going to be able to do nothing with
Rodger Saffold blocking for you.' "
Saffold didn't appreciate the insult, but kept his mouth shut.
"I just pretty much tried to do my job and then go back to the huddle," he said.
Saffold was one of only two rookies to start at left tackle on the NFL's opening weekend of play. (The other was Trent Williams of the
Washington Redskins.) He graded out fairly well when Rams coaches reviewed the game film, but he had some rough moments as well.
"I thought he did a pretty solid job," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "He had the one sack I think that he gave up, but for a rookie in his first
game at left tackle, pretty good."
Actually, the play Spagnuolo referred to wasn't a sack, it just felt like one for quarterback Sam Bradford. Early in the third quarter,
Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell beat Saffold with an inside move and clobbered Bradford, who got the pass away for a short
gain.
Porter got around Saffold a couple of times for quarterback hits, one of which may have contributed to Bradford's second interception.
Not unlike the rookie quarterback making his first NFL start, the Cardinals threw a lot at the rookie left tackle making his first NFL start.
"There's some things I need to work on," Saffold said. "There were a lot of shifts and a lot of different movement that game that I needed
to attend to the next day in the corrections meetings."
Between Porter and Campbell, and blitzing linebackers and defensive backs, Saffold faced a lot of different defenders. At face value, this
Sunday's challenge looks much different for Saffold. The Raiders play an "even" front, with four defensive linemen as opposed to
Arizona's 3-4. The Raiders usually don't blitz much, relying on their front four to pressure the quarterback. So in that sense, Saffold's task
could be less complicated this week.
Nonetheless, Saffold still has to worry about multiple defenders. He expects to see end/linebacker 'tweener Trevor Scott on some plays;
end Matt Shaughnessey on others; and even 6-6, 310-pound tackle Richard Seymour on some. (That's assuming Seymour, who has a
hamstring injury, plays.)
As he studies more film, and gets more experience, it will be easier to zero in on the techniques and idiosyncrasies of each opponent. For
now, it's tough enough honing in on one opponent a game, much less three. Take Porter, for instance, who entered this season second in
career sacks among active NFL players.
"Porter had many different moves," Saffold said. "He had the speed to come off the edge. He had a good inside move. He had a spin move
that was pretty good. His bull rush isn't as strong as others, but because he's so quick, it doesn't look like his shoulders ever come down.
So the bull rush can take you by surprise."

Jim Hanifan spent 31 years as an NFL coach, with 25 of them spent coaching the offensive line. He has coached some great offensive
lines, and some great linemen. So what does it take to be a great left tackle?
"You've got to be a hell of an athlete," Hanifan said. "There's only one guy in my years of coaching — and coaching that particular
position — that really wasn't a great athlete."
Hanifan was referring to Billy Shields, who played left tackle for him in 1979 with the San Diego Chargers. But Shields was so smart, and
so dedicated, that he was a successful left tackle.
"Billy understood how important technique was," Hanifan said. "And he knew that every step he took, if he didn't do it exactly right,
disaster was waiting for Mr. Fouts."
Every Friday during the season at the end of practice, Shields asked Hanifan to stay with him for an extra half-hour to work on pass sets.
"That was a comfort zone for him," Hanifan said. "He knew that if he just was a little bit off, he could really have a problem because he
did not have the 'quicks' — the speed that you need. Now what he did have was an outstanding brain, and he had long arms."
Long arms can be a great help to a pass blocker, and Washington left tackle Joe Jacoby put them to great use when Hanifan was with the
Redskins.
"Joe had the great reach, so that if he fouled up, golly, he still had those arms where he could get out there and strike," Hanifan said.
Time after time, Jacoby used those long arms and strong punch to knock one of the game's best all-time pass rushers off course: Lawrence
Taylor of the New York Giants.
As valuable as technique and long arms are for a left tackle, or any pass-blocker for that matter, the great ones have great balance and
footwork. They can bend their knees and move laterally.
"The most vivid picture would be Orlando Pace," Hanifan said. "Orlando, when he was in his prime, you've got a guy 325-330 (pounds)
and 6-7."
Hall of Famer Dan Dierdorf, who was primarily a right tackle for the St. Louis Cardinals, used to tell Hanifan that Pace looked like a
basketball power forward "with 19-inch guns." In other words, big biceps.
The basketball reference is appropriate, Pace says, because he thinks it helped him develop nimble feet.
"I always played basketball," Pace said. "I don't know if it was moving the feet defensively or doing those type of (basketball) drills when
I was in high school, but I think it really enhanced the footwork."
Pace, a seven-time Pro Bowler in 12 seasons with the Rams, knows that footwork helped make him one of the game's elite left tackles and
a potential Hall of Famer.
"I always say the game is played with footwork and hands," Pace said. "And then there's a certain attitude you have on the field. Your feet
are going to put you in position to make those blocks, and then you have to know when to strike and have a pretty good punch when you
engage somebody.
"Most left tackles are pretty much known for being good pass blockers as opposed to being good run blockers because it's more of an
athletic position to put the linemen in."
It's the age-old truism of protecting the (right-handed) quarterback's blindside, and facing the opposing team's best pass rusher every
week.

Is Rodger ready?
To a large degree, footwork and agility made the Rams decide to play Saffold at left tackle instead of Jason Smith.
"Rodger's got the skill and ability to play the position," said offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, who was an all-Big Ten center at
Michigan State. "We've seen in the time that he's been here that he'll work at it."
Saffold is the type of player who likes to pick up tips wherever he can. Hanifan, who does radio work for the Rams' flagship station
(WXOS, 101.1 FM) has given Saffold some basic advice and encouragement.
For example, Hanifan told him that even Pace learned you need to lower your hips and sink in your stance to neutralize a bull rush. Before
the Arizona game, Saffold said Hanifan told him, "Stay low, stay squared up, and you'll be fine."
"I like him," Hanifan said. "I like his attitude. I like his quickness. I like his feet. He's got good feet, good balance."
"I think he's getting better every week," said Pace, who watched all of the Rams' preseason games, and attended last week's regular-season
opener. "Left tackle's such a tough position to break in because you're going against some of the best pass rushers in the world. It's a tough
deal to break in and really be dominant in your first year, but I think the most important part is that you get better week in and week out."
Any praise from Pace is extra-special for Saffold. That's his idol. Like Pace, Saffold grew up in the Cleveland area, and has followed
Pace's career closely. He has studied tape of Pace, and when given Pace's Rams jersey number (76), had make sure it was OK.
Saffold has never spoken with him directly, but Pace let Saffold know through Rams officials and former teammates that he was fine with
it.
"I think it's good," Pace said, "as long as he represents it well."

Kenneth Darby didn't have a touchdown dance — he says that's coming next time. But he did have a touchdown holler.
And it wasn't just a holler from the top of his lungs. This one came from the tip of his toes out through every pore in his body.
"I think that just showed a lot of frustration," Darby said. "When you have something built up you just holler. I felt like I had a lot built up
in me, and that was just a relief."
The frustration of being one of the most prolific runners in the grand football history of the University of Alabama, yet being replaced in
the backfield in the red zone as a junior and senior.
The frustration of falling just 241 yards short of Shaun Alexander's Alabama career rushing record of 3,565 yards. Were it not for an off
year as a senior, when he finished with just 835 yards rushing, Darby would've gotten there.
The frustration of having his father — Steve Woods — diagnosed with cancer just before the start of that senior season in 2006, and dying
near the end of the season. Mr. Woods died at age 59 in November.
The frustration of banging around the NFL for three-plus seasons, without much playing time and without a sniff of the end zone.
And we should add, the frustration of knowing that just about every fan and media member in town thinks the Rams can and should do
better as the No. 2 running back behind Pro Bowler Steven Jackson.
Welcome to Kenneth Darby's world, and try to imagine the pure joy he felt midway through the second quarter last week against
Washington when ...
On first-and-10 from the Washington 12, the Rams lined up in "trips left" with three wide receivers flanked to the left spreading out the
Redskins' secondary. Darby took the handoff from Sam Bradford and started left, but as he cut back to his right a gaping hole opened.
Center Jason Brown and right guard Adam Goldberg sealed off the left; right tackle Jason Smith and tight end Daniel Fells sealed the
right.
As Darby cleared the line of scrimmage, he was staring eyeball to eyeball with Washington safety Kareem Moore who was waiting at the
5. Darby made a quick cut to his left, Moore lunged to make contact. Just to make sure he was clear Darby gave Moore a little stiff-arm.
By the time the next Redskins defender arrived on the scene, Darby was crossing the goal line.
Holler time. But no touchdown dance. It was Darby's first NFL score and gave the Rams a 21-16 lead, a lead they would not relinquish in
a 30-16 victory.
"Next time I get in the end zone, I've got something coming," Darby promised. "I already know what I'm going to do. It's going to be a
surprise."
Then he dropped a hint. "It's got to do with a shark," he said. "In the water."
Back in Huntsville, Ala., Alfredia Darby was driving home from a friend's house Sunday afternoon when she started getting text messages
and phone calls — her son had scored a touchdown for the Rams!
She doesn't have the NFL Ticket package, and they don't normally show Rams games in Alabama. But she got on the home computer, and
found the highlight of her son's TD.
"I was just constantly pushing replay, replay," she said. "I was ecstatic. Every time I think about it I get tickled. He looked like his old
self. Because he hadn't been on the field that much (in the NFL). To see him score a touchdown, that was just — I can't explain the
feeling."
And as only a mother would, Alfredia Darby saw more than a holler on the replay.
"I read his lips," she said. "He was saying, 'Thank you God.' My daughter was saying, 'Momma, he didn't say that.' I was saying, 'Yes he
did.'

Hard to believe, but that was Darby's first rushing touchdown since 2005, his junior season at Alabama when he was at the height of his
success with the Crimson Tide.
Darby began playing pee wee football at age 8, forging his mother's name on the registration form because she didn't want him to play.
Years later, after rushing for 4,674 yards at Butler High in Huntsville, everybody wanted him.
"Arkansas was one of the ones that kept calling," Alfredia said. "Michigan State. LSU. He had several offers from other schools. But he
wanted to be at Alabama and that was fine with me because he would be closer to home."
"He can almost stop and go 90 degrees on a dime, which I think is pretty unique," head coach Mike Shula said at the time.
"I've watched the highlight tapes and I don't see how any other back can make a man miss better than K.D.," said 'Bama fullback Le'Ron
McClain.
Maybe so, but when the Tide got close to the end zone, the star running back (Darby) went to the bench and in went big back Tim Castille
along with McClain, who's now a Baltimore Raven.
"C'mon coach. Can you throw me a bone? Let me get in there. I help get it down there, can I at least get it in the end zone?"
Didn't happen. As a senior, his only touchdown came on a pass reception. Shula was fired near the end of the season, and Darby fell short
of both Alexander and Bobby Humphrey (3,420) with 3,324 yards on Alabama's career rushing list.
But those were the least of Darby's problems. He was floored when he learned his father had cancer just before the start of that all-
important senior season in 2006.
"When that happened with my 'Pops' it was a low blow for me and my family," Darby said. "My head wasn't even into football that year. I
was somewhere totally different. It was hard."
After home games on Saturdays, Darby drove back to Huntsville, visited with his dad, and then back to Tuscaloosa — a five-hour round
trip. He made the trip a few times during the week as well.
Darby was in Tuscaloosa with his brother the day his father died. The nurses told Alfredia that her husband didn't have long, so Darby and
his brother hurried back to Hunstville to say goodbye. They made it home just in time.
"After he talked to Kenneth, he closed his eyes and went," Alfredia said. "It was hard on Kenneth."
The tattoo on Darby's right biceps is a fitting testament. It reads: Like Father, Like Son.
In between the father and son lines are the wings of an angel.
"I know he's looking over me," Darby said. "He's watching."
Paying dues
Darby dedicates every game to his father. Trouble is there haven't been all that many games for Darby so far in the NFL. Drafted in the
seventh round by Tampa Bay in 2007, Darby played in only one game for the Buccaneers. He joined the Rams in October of 2008. Since
then, he has played in 29 games, but mostly on special teams.

Until last Sunday, Darby had only 64 carries for 303 yards in the NFL. His career long run of 51 yards came on a fake punt last season at
Tennessee. Two weeks later, in Game 15 at Arizona, Darby made his only career start when Jackson was sidelined with back problems.
With Jackson questionable for this Sunday's contest against Seattle with a groin injury, Darby could get start No. 2.
"He comes to work every day ready to go," fullback Mike Karney said. "Practices like he's going to step in at any time, so that's a good
sign. Always ready to go. He prepares hard. We obviously saw that (last) Sunday."
His teammates may have confidence in him. But as for the general feeling that the Rams need to do better at backup running back ...
"I just let that go in one ear and out the other," Darby said. "Of course you're going hear it because it's all around. I remember certain
things, so when I do get my opportunity to do what I have to do, I try to take full advantage and silence all doubters."

On his website, www.fredrobbins98.com, is a feature called "Ask Fred," in which fans can e-mail questions to the veteran Rams defensive
tackle.
Interesting, because Robbins holds another version of Ask Fred just about every day at Rams Park. The 33-year-old Robbins is
surrounded by pups in the locker room. Six of his nine defensive linemates had two years or less of NFL experience entering this season.
Three are rookies. And they have plenty of questions.
"It's like on pass rush, or run block situations, he'll give me his ins and outs — whatever he knows," rookie defensive end Eugene Sims
said. "And I just take it and try to use it."
Or they may ask how to watch game film. What to look for on tape. How to stay healthy. How to eat right. And when Robbins talks ...
"It's short but sweet," Sims said. "He knows what he's talking about. He ain't been in it for 11 years for nothing. He knows what he's
doing."
"He's just a happy, energetic kind of guy," safety Craig Dahl said. "Always in a good mood. Always willing to pick up a teammate if he
sees someone struggling. Fred's just a big jolly guy."
But Santa Claus is a big, jolly guy. And Santa can't play defensive tackle in the NFL. Robbins can. In fact, he's doing it better than anyone
— perhaps even coach Steve Spagnuolo — expected back in March when the Rams signed him to a free-agent deal.
On a star-studded New York Giants defensive line that included luminaries such as Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiori,
Robbins was the unheralded anchor in the middle during the team's Super Bowl championship run three seasons ago.
But then Robbins started to break down. He battled his way through 2008 with two broken hands and a shoulder injury, then had
offseason knee surgery. Last season, he was replaced in the Giants' starting lineup over the final third of the season.
So far in St. Louis, Robbins has been revitalized. At the defensive tackle position, stats rarely tell the story. By the numbers, Robbins has
nine tackles, one sack, three quarterback hits and two pass breakups this season. (OK, and that costly shove of Bruce Gradkowski in
Game 2 at Oakland that resulted in an unnecessary roughness penalty.)
But take it from Dahl, who also was Robbins' teammate for two seasons with the Giants:
"You would never know Fred's as old as he is. He uses a lot of his experience to his advantage, too. He was able to read that screen last
week. Sniff that out."
With the Seahawks desperately trying to get back in the game in the fourth quarter, Robbins dropped speedy Leon Washington in his
tracks for no gain on a screen pass from quarterback Matt Hasselbeck.
"And he also had the 'heads up' to grab that ball up in the air after James (Hall) knocked it out of (Hasselbeck's) hand," Dahl said. "It was
just a great play, and great athleticism. He's been all over the place for us on defense."
Robbins' fumble recovery after Hall's sack of Hasselbeck came with 2½ minutes to play and represented Seattle's last gasp. So yes,
Robbins definitely looks spry and injury free. Spagnuolo, in the role of superstitious coach, didn't care to discuss Robbins' good health.
"I don't want to jinx anything here, but he's been doing — so far, so good," Spagnuolo said Wednesday.
The lure of Spagnuolo, who was Robbins' defensive coordinator for two seasons in New York, is what attracted Robbins to St. Louis last
March. As Robbins sees it, Spagnuolo treats his players as people and not just commodities.

"And that makes you want to go out and play for a guy," Robbins said. "A guy that's not just concerned with what you do on the field, but
off the field. A guy who cares for your life and well-being. He's well respected throughout the league. We work hard, but he makes it fun
doing it."
Robbins also helps make it fun. Like during the searing heat of practices in late spring, when Robbins successfully lobbied the head coach
to take a team popsicle break.
"Those hot days, I had to get in Spags' ear," Robbins said. "I mean, they were just sitting over there in the cooler in the cafeteria. You
might as well put 'em to use on the field."
At 6-4, 325 pounds, Robbins gives the Rams a physical presence they have been lacking inside for years, and the best run stuffer they've
had since Ryan Pickett. Robbins showed during training camp and the preseason that he could still hold up against the run.
And as the coaches say, he still has some "juice" as a pass rusher. He's savvy enough to take advantage of weaknesses in an opponent's
game and did so last Sunday against Seattle's interior offensive line.
"I still feel like I got a lot left," Robbins simply says.
His leadership on the field, and in the locker room, is evident. Particularly when it's time to Ask Fred.
"Fred is a great personality first off for this defense and for this locker room," said defensive end Chris Long, who regularly teases or
torments Robbins. "He's another great veteran that you can learn a lot from. But he's still playing at a really high level.
"It's pretty unbelievable the way he's playing — and the way James (Hall) is playing. They're playing like they're my age, 25 years old.
Man, they're out there disrupting things, getting after the quarterback, stopping the run."

Bradley Fletcher has intercepted passes in back-to-back games, but as well as he's played, St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo
wonders how far along the second-year cornerback would be if hadn't suffered a knee injury during his rookie season.
"I think he's playing aggressive and all those things, but I think every once in a while I look at the tape and say, 'I'm not sure he's ... maybe
he's 95 percent instead of a 100,''' Spagnuolo said.
"But, he's certainly developing well. I would have loved to have seen him this year had he not had the injury last year and had a full
rookie year."
Fletcher admitted that he's still not back to where he was before the injury.
"It's pretty good, but it could be better,'' Fletcher said. "I'll keep working my legs and it'll keep getting better.''
Fletcher, a third-round pick out of the University of Iowa, started four games last season as a rookie before tearing the anterior cruciate
ligament and the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee in Week 7 against Indianapolis.
"A lot of people say it takes a long year to be fully recovered,'' Fletcher said.
He was able to get the knee in good enough shape to participate in training camp, and by the end of the preseason, he had regained the
starting job at right cornerback.
"Toward the end of camp, I was feeling pretty confident,'' Fletcher said. "I've been able to play ever sense.''
Fletcher said he's still trying to make up for the lost practice time from the injury.
"That's why I'm taking time after practice and working some of the footwork drills and some of the ball drills to get the rest of my game
back to where it should be due to all the time missed because I was rehabbing and things like that,'' Fletcher said.
Fletcher is fourth on the Rams in tackles this season with 20. He's also shown a knack for the big play.
"The good thing about Bradley is he's been presented with those opportunities and he's taken advantage of them,'' Spagnuolo said.
Fletcher recovered a fumble and returned it 43 yards in the Rams' season-opening loss to Arizona, intercepted a Donovan McNabb pass in
the fourth quarter to clinch a victory over the Washington Redskins in Week 3 and he intercepted a Matt Hasselbeck pass that was tipped
by defensive end Eurgene Sims in second quarter of a win over the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday.
"The ball is going to get thrown a lot in my direction, especially when we have a corner such as (Ron) Bartell on the other side,'' Fletcher
said. "I'm just trying to make the plays that come my way.''
Fletcher returned the interception against the Seahawks to the Seattle 3, but he vowed to get into the end zone next time.
"I just came up a few yards short,'' Fletcher said. "We're going to keep working in practice on trying to get one of those in (the end zone)
in the next game.''
Bartell said he respects how hard Fletcher had to work after the injury to get himself back on the field.
"He's doing well,'' Bartell said. "He's making plays, and he's improving in his coverage. He's learning. He's improving every week. He's
doing fine, especially for a guy who is coming off a serious knee injury like that. I have the utmost respect for him.''

Rams notes
Rookie left tackle Rodger Saffold left practice after getting kicked in the left shin, but later in the locker room he said he was OK. "As an
offensive lineman you're going to get kicked in the shin eight or nine times a game," Saffold said.
* Running back Steven Jackson (groin), punter Donnie Jones (left calf), tight ends Billy Bajema (knee) and Mike Hoomanawanui (ankle),
linebacker Chris Chamberlain (toe) and safety Darian Stewart all practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday.
* Rookie defensive back Marquis Johnson, a seventh-round draft pick out of Alabama, has been placed on injured reserve. Johnson had
surgery on his knee on Tuesday, and he'll have surgery on his shoulder at a later date.
* Wide receiver Laurent Robinson, out the last two games with a foot sprain, was able to fully participate in practice on Wednesday.

Asked to describe Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola in one word, running back Steven Jackson replied, "Feisty."
Amendola laughed when asked to portray himself in one word. "What did the others say?" he asked before finally settling on "effort."
All are apt adjectives for Amendola, who although he's listed at 5 feet 11 and 186 pounds admitted that he's actually 5-10 and 180. He's
the Rams' second-leading receiver, with 21 catches for 208 yards, heading into Sunday's game at Detroit.
Still, one more word is needed to complete the Amendola outline: "tough."
"You know what, that's probably the word I would've picked before 'quick,' how tough he is," Karney said. "He'll take some big hits out
there. The guy's got a lot of guts."
Robinson called Amendola "the toughest little guy I've seen. Doesn't care about anything. Just one tough guy."
Added coach Steve Spagnuolo: "He's off the charts there, in everything he does. ... Walking in the hallway, he looks tough."
Willie Amendola chuckled at the various depictions of the youngest of his two sons. "He's been like that since the day he was born,
believe me," he said. "He was a handful when he was little."
Growing up in The Woodlands, a suburb of Houston, Danny was what his father termed a "tag-along kind of guy." Brother Matt was 5
years older, and Danny constantly was in competition with bigger boys.
Or as Weldon Willig, who coached both Amendola brothers at The Woodlands High, put it, "Younger brothers get to be tougher, because
they have the hell beat out of them every day as they're growing up."
Willie Amendola is the head football coach and athletics director at Dekaney High in Houston. After a long day at practice, he faced the
daunting challenge of putting young Danny down for the night.
"Couldn't get him to bed," Willie recalled. "You'd have to chase him around the house, and I couldn't catch him. We used to do what we
called race to bed. So wherever he was, 'I'll race you to bed.'
"One day he leaped from the doorway over the bed and put his head right through the headboard. Didn't blink an eye."
Danny played football, basketball and baseball; his father thought the latter would be his future. "He played baseball like he plays
football," Willie said. "He had that aggressive nature in baseball, too."

"I had a deal with running over the catcher," Danny said. "I couldn't slide; I'd always have to hit the catcher. I got thrown out of a couple
of games because of that in high school.
Though he was just 138 pounds at the time, Danny made the varsity as a sophomore wideout and safety at The Woodlands, a big-school
powerhouse in football-mad Texas. He made up for his lack of size with determination, Willig said.
"Danny has as big a heart as anybody," he continued. "Danny was never going to be hurt, or would never admit it. He might get his eyes
crossed with a hit, but he would jump up: 'I'm fine, I'm good.'
Amendola committed to Texas Tech during his junior year, smitten with then-coach Mike Leach's pass-heavy offense.
In Lubbock, he quickly earned a nickname. "From when I first got there, it was 'Wes Welker Jr.,'" he said. The comparison with the
former Red Raiders wideout — and current New England Patriots standout — was evident.
"Short, little, white slot receiver. And coming from the same college, I can definitely see that," said Amendola, 24.
Leach called Amendola "one of the grittiest players I've ever been around. ... He wouldn't be a guy who you would want to be in a paper
bag with and get shaken up to see who makes it out, because he really is a tough person."
Amendola didn't earn the same plaudits as Welker, despite having 103 receptions for 1,177 yards his senior year. That's partly because
Tech freshman Michael Crabtree led the nation with 125 catches for 1,861 yards and won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top
receiver.
Dallas signed Amendola as an undrafted rookie, and he spent 2008 on the Cowboys' practice squad. He started the 2009 season on
Philadelphia's practice squad. Biding his time wasn't easy.
"You come in on practice squad and you know you're not going to play in the game, you know you're not going to get any reps,"
Amendola said. "It's frustrating ... you don't want to just practice your whole life. You want to practice to play."
The Rams gave him that chance when they signed him to their 53-man active roster off the Eagles' practice squad in September 2009. "I
was just really excited," Amendola said. "But at the same time, I knew with this great opportunity there was responsibility, that I had to
perform."
Toughness on display
Amendola got into 14 games last year, catching 43 passes for 326 yards and a touchdown. He also was the club's primary return man,
where his toughness was on full display.
On Nov. 1 at Detroit, Amendola absorbed a vicious blow on a kickoff return. He bounced back to his feet, but "I didn't even know I got
tackled. The next thing I knew, I was walking on the field all confused," said Amendola, who missed just one game because of a
concussion.
Three weeks ago at Oakland, Amendola was body-slammed by 255-pound Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain after catching a pass over
the middle. On the next snap, Amendola charged into the same area for another grab, virtually daring McClain — who subsequently was
fined $5,000 — to have another go at him.
"He's makes plays, catches the ball, gets hit, runs into middle linebackers," Gibson said. "He's a rare breed."

"I just love playing the game," he said. "I learned it from my father, and he taught me to play every play as hard as you can, whether it's a
run or it's a pass. I'm not going to be able to play forever, so I might as well go all out when I am.
"I'm not the biggest dude, and I'm not the fastest dude. But I feel like I can play this game."
"I'm glad we got him," he said. "You'd like a lot of those guys on your team."

For Chris Massey, last spring was the closest he got to a where did everybody go? moment.
He looked around the locker room in May and there was no Leonard Little and no Marc Bulger. Little didn't re-sign with the team and is
out of football this season; Bulger was traded to Baltimore before the draft. They were the last links to the Rams' two Super Bowl teams
of a decade ago.
And it suddenly hit Massey, the Rams' long snapper. He was the senior member of the team — the last man standing, if you will.
"When those two guys weren't around any more, I started to look around and I was like, 'Man, I'm the longest-tenure guy here,' " Massey
said. "It just seemed like yesterday that I walked through the doors for the first time."
As a Rams rookie in 2002, Massey was told by running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery to enjoy every practice and every play, because
it goes by fast.
That fact hit home last Sunday during the Isaac Bruce jersey retirement ceremony, particularly when about two dozen former Rams —
most of them former Massey teammates — strolled out to midfield as part of the ceremony.
"It was very nostalgic," Massey said. "Ricky (Proehl) was my first holder. Ernie Conwell. Tommy Nütten — all those guys. They're all
such great guys, and they played for some great teams.
"It seemed like yesterday that we were joking around here in this locker room. It makes you realize how fast time does go by. It's like in
the blink of an eye I'm already in my ninth year."
Walking on
Massey's staying power is all the more surprising because of his unlikely route to the NFL. Born and raised in West Virginia, he dreamed
of playing for the Mountaineers in college. But there were no scholarship offers from them or anybody else at the Division I level. So, he
decided to walk on at another state school, Marshall. Trouble was, he didn't tell anybody.
"I had my heart set on playing Division I football," Massey said. "I just showed up and said, hey, I wanted to play."
That was 1997. But even walk-ons get recruited, and since Massey wasn't even a recruited walk-on, he wasn't on the radar screen of the
Marshall coaching staff. A linebacker back then, Massey didn't make a great first impression, breaking his hand in a scrimmage and
missing six weeks.
"And then spring ball rolls around," Massey recalled. "The linebacker coach sets me down, and he says, 'We've got this, this, and this guy
coming in.' I just knew that I was never even going to see the field."
Out of desperation, Massey approached Marshall's special-teams coach, Tim Billings, and told him he had been a long snapper in high
school. (Yes, the same Tim Billings who was head coach at Southeast Missouri State from 2000 through 2005 and an assistant coach at
the Missouri in the 1980s.)
36
ST. LOUIS RAMS NEWS CLIPS
Publication: STLToday.com Section/# of Pages: Sports/2 of 2 Date: 11/6/10
Billings gave Massey a shot, and he ended up beating out a scholarship snapper. Massey finally got a scholarship in 1999, his third season
in the program, and found himself in the NFL — or at least with a shot at the NFL — when the Rams selected him in the seventh round,
No. 243 overall, in the 2002 draft.
Welcome to the Greatest Show on Turf. Imagine what it was like for the kid from Chesapeake, W.Va., walking into his first NFL locker
room that year.
"It was definitely an eye-opening experience to see Marshall (Faulk), Kurt (Warner), Isaac (Bruce), and Torry (Holt) — all the guys that
you watched on Sundays just lighting it up," Massey said.
It was, in fact, a little overwhelming, Massey told his brother Brian. "Brian was like, 'Hey, man, they put their pants on the same way you
do.' I'll never forget that. After a couple days, I saw how great the guys were."
Emergency fullback
A few months later, Massey found himself in the same huddle with many of those guys. After a shocking 0-5 start, Warner was out with
an injury and so was starting fullback James "The Hammer" Hodgins. In Game Six against unbeaten Oakland, which would win the AFC
championship that season, backup fullback Chris Hetherington also went down with an injury.
"Coach (Mike) Martz is hollering for me, and I'm looking around. 'You want me?' " Massey recalled.
Yep. On draft day, Martz talked to Massey about possibly playing fullback — he hadn't played in the offensive backfield since high
school. Massey attended meetings with the running backs in '02, but he hadn't had a single practice rep at the position when Martz
summoned him out of desperation in the middle of the Raiders game.
"I look around, and there's Marshall and Torry and Isaac and Orlando (Pace)," Massey said. "Bulger was starting — his first start.
Marshall looks at me and says, 'All right, Mass. Let's roll.' I was ready then."
On his first play, Massey wiped out Raiders linebacker Bill Romanowski with a block — Romanowski was then one of the NFL's
reigning bad boys. Massey started the next week against Seattle at fullback and played the position here and there over the rest of the
Martz coaching tenure. But when Scott Linehan came in as head coach in 2006, Massey's days in the offensive backfield were over.
Massey has performed his snapping job as well as anyone. In 8½ seasons, Massey has clean snaps on 964 of 965 attempts (99.9 percent).
He takes great pride in getting downfield on punt coverage, registering double-digit tackles in both the '04 and '07 seasons.
But Massey has experienced some lean times in the victory column since making the playoffs in two of his first three seasons.
"Organizations go through these growing pains, and the Rams were on top for many years," he said. "But that ship has sailed. Guys got
older, coaches have come and gone, guys have come and gone. Now, we're in a new era, and we have a lot of young, hungry players that
want to go out there and make plays. They want to win."
Like his teammates, Massey is excited about the Rams' 4-4 start.
"By no means have we arrived," he said. "We're getting better every week. One thing that I see is we enjoy playing together. We're just
going out there, and we're having fun. The last couple years, whether it's not winning games and stuff like that, it really hasn't been that
much fun around here."
