October 23rd, 2012 at 3:49 PM
Forgive me for sounding like the eternal optimist, but the St. Louis Rams are just fine. They've already exceeded their win total from an abysmal 2011 campaign. On eye test alone, the defense looks like a completely different beast than any Rams team since the franchise arrived in St. Louis. In...

October 17th, 2012 at 10:41 AM
To the casual football fan, the St. Louis Rams didn't look too much like the lesser team in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins.

Fantasy Football Projections: St. Louis Rams’ Defense
September 4th, 2012 at 1:57 PM
***PHOTO3*** From previous experience, defenses aren't always a reliable fantasy bet at the beginning of an NFL season.

July 30th, 2012 at 8:22 PM
The St. Louis Rams have been in a giving mood lately. The latest recipient is defensive end Chris Long, who signed a four-year extension with the club to maintain a consistent presence off the edge. Long, 27, is just beginning to hit his stride in the NFL after improving his sack...

St. Louis Rams Round up 2012 NFL Draft Picks
June 15th, 2012 at 8:48 PM
The St. Louis Rams have signed eight of their 10 draft picks from April. Thanks to a clause in the NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement, rookies have a ceiling on how much they can make coming out of college, and they actually have to earn their stripes on the NFL gridiron....
