Before your season started, the idea appeared to be so straightforward to have high hopes. Yes, there have been a number of causes to become excited. For one, Sam Bradford has been coming off through an extraordinary fresh strategy in a "dink in addition to dunk" fashion criminal offense that will seemed to throttle his real talent. The Rams brought in Josh McDaniels since a problem coordinator which often seemed to generate sense when this specific transfer might seemingly unleash Bradfford's inner beast ability.
The Rams safety additionally had improved final season, which in turn helped the particular Rams are available in just a single video game associated with profitable this NFC West. The drafting with Robert Quinn this period seemed to be furthermore enjoyable while this will give Chris Long mush required outside pass dash help, restraining dual teams. Yes the particular Rams defense, while not addressing a number of holes, SHOULD have already been better.
Another crucial note was one Steven Jackson seemed to be as a final point sensation herself plus 100%. Not to be able to mention, that Rams have been furthermore very effective inside totally free agency, putting your signature on numerous qualty totally free agents, as well as high quality burn Cadillac Williams which revealed many decent symptoms in the preseason. Yes, Billy Devaney along with Steve Spagnuolo were searching for instance geniuses as the 49ers sat on their own duffs, seeing that when they hadn't happen to be notified this lockout seemed to be over.
Fast Forward to full week 13. The Rams take a seat at 2-10 as the 49ers have clinched the actual NFC West during 10-2. My oh my the way things have got changed. It's pretty peculiar which the earliest participate in in the year very considerably told the complete tale associated with the year that was to become Steven Jackson suffering a loss him or her self with a non-contact 40+ yard TD run. Bitter sweet.
After the particular jump, let me take a look for the weirdness which was.
Not so it ended up being most that will blame, however Injuries murdered this specific team. Yes, in the event that this particular wasn't that NFL, the actual Rams may be a candidate for FEMA catastrophe relief. It ended up being truly that bad. Danny Amendola, 11 cornerback traumas (yes 11.. might be it really is 10.. honestly, should that matter?) including the two beginners Bradley Fletcher and Ron Bartell.
And let us definitely not forget about Jermome Murphy, who seem to under no circumstances perhaps got to view a single snap when he or she out of cash his ankle although setting up a mashing fishing tackle on. oh yea wait, he / she landed funny on the divot on the field. what?!?
Let's see. the particular aforementioned Steven Jackson fluke sidelined him or her one or two weeks, along along with Sam Bradford's high ankle sprain that held him out and about some weeks, and includes even proved it can be ugly head again while he sat away the 49er game.
Even this rookies got needed for that action, seeing that , in the same way he / she appeared to be coming into his own.
Heck, Salas perhaps obtained one more harm while upon injured reserve:
Just burnt the particular hell outta my tongue drinking hot chocolate. Smh. >:(
Yes, some individuals that bad.
The Rams offensive collection possesses additionally suffered it's talk about connected with injuries as Rodger Saffold (who let's encounter it, provides struggled the following year) furthermore ended up being completed for that season as he tore his / her pectoral muscle while making a essential prevent during. oh yea wait. the idea ended up being while raising weights. Amazing.
And why don't we not really overlook your ankle injury he suffered about the very same engage in Sam Bradford obtained the large ankle sprain , simply feet from just about every other. mention CRAZY.
And let me certainly not just forget about Jason Smith who suffered just another concussion for a have fun with that didn't appear all which harmful honestly. a light bundle within the noggin down knee on how towards ground. Fluke once fluke after fluke.
Then you can find Denario Alexander, your offering WR contending regarding trying to play time frame following several knee surgeries. very harmful this knee could hardly hold up. oh yea wait, ?t had been some sort of hamstring injury. Huh?
Cadillac Williams, which has been arriving off of a terrible knee injuries themselves wounded his again plus overlooked time. He went heli-copter flight industry throughout the Packer game, however , needed to end up being carted off. WR Mark Clayton who made a comeback at a time of year concluding knee pain which occured last season, just had not been prepared therefore , the Rams placed your ex with IR with the season when well.
Mike "Uh Oh" Hoomanawanui furthermore possessed several injuries which is almost nothing new.
With all of the injuries, it really is amazing many of us won 2 mmorpgs this particular season. It is going to be intriguing to see what exactly improvements shall be made by Kroenke after this hellish period is actually over. It can't finish quickly enough.
