1/153

After two weeks on the road, the St. Louis Ramsare back at the Edward Jones Dome Sunday asthey host the New Orleans Saints. Kickoff is sched-uled for noon.

Sundays game marks the 70th regular-seasonmeeting between the Rams and Saints, who wereNFC West rivals for many years until the NFLrealigned its divisions in 2002. The Rams holda 38-31 advantage in the series. The Rams andSaints meet for a third-consecutive year, as NewOrleans came out victorious in 2009 at the EdwardJones Dome and upended the Rams last Decemberin the Superdome.

Its fitting that the Rams are facing a former NFC West foe this weekend, dueto the fact that St. Louis will don throwback uniforms that feature the traditionalwhite, blue and yellow-gold color scheme that the team wore from 1973-99. This

summer, the Rams invited fans to vote via Twitter on which game theyd like tosee the throwbacks, and fans chose this weeks contest. The Rams wore thethrowbacks in a Week 8 win over Carolina in 2010.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER


8/153

Steve Spagnuolos swarming defenseis predicated on takeaways and pres-sure, and the Rams have becomeadept at forcing turnovers.

With a forced fumble by Quintin Mikelland subsequent recovery by Al Harrislast week in Dallas, the Rams haveforced at least one takeaway in eachgame this season.

Two weeks ago, it was a Craig Dahlinterception of Aaron Rodgers. InWeek 4, St. Louis intercepted RexGrossman twice as Justin King andJames Laurinaitis each came awaywith a pick.

Between a Mikell strip-sack in Week 1, a Mikell interception in Week2, a Chris Chamberlain strip-sack in Week 3 and the two intercep-tions last week, the Rams have forced six turnovers this season.

The fumble recovery by Harris marked the 12th-consecutive gamein which St. Louis has recorded at least one takeaway, which is thefourth-longest active streak among NFL teams.

Last season, the Rams second under Spagnuolo, St. Louis finishedthe year with 26 takeaways, which was six more than the Rams hadin 2009. Rams defenders intercepted eight passes in 2009 and had14 in their second season under Spagnuolo. The Rams forced 19fumbles as well, which was the fifth most in the NFL according toStatsPass.com.

S Quintin Mikell, who signed with theRams as a free agent this summer,has provided an immediate impact onSt. Louis defense.

The nine-year veteran has been a partof a takeaway in four of his first sixgames in St. Louis.

Last week at Dallas, Mikell recovereda fumble that was forced by Al Harris.In his Rams debut, Mikell sackedEagles QB Michael Vick and forceda fumble, which was recovered by LBJames Laurinaitis.

In Week 2 in New York, Mikell endedthe Giants opening drive of the gamewhen he intercepted Eli Manning deep in New York territory.

In Week 3, he pounced on a Joe Flacco fumble after LB ChrisChamberlain had knocked the ball away from Baltimores quarter-back.

Mikell, who spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Eagles,boasts career totals of 5.0 sacks and 11 interceptions. Rams HeadCoach Steve Spagnuolo was Mikells position coach during Mikellsfirst NFL season and in all, the two spent four seasons together inPhiladelphia.

DE Chris Long, the second overall pickin the 2008 draft, leads the Rams insacks (3.0) and quarterback hits (6) thisseason.

Long picked up a sack in three of theRams first five games to give him 3.0 onthe season. Hes recorded at least onesack in five of his last nine and 11 of hislast 17 games.

According to StatsPass.com, Long wascredited with 36 combined quarterbackhits and knockdowns last season, whichtied with Seahawks DE Chris Clemons

for the ninth most in the NFL last season.

LONG ON TALENT

DE Chris Long

If you want to find Rams MLB James Laurinaitis on the football field,one can often simply follow the ball, because the third-year pro seemsto always be around it.

Laurinaitis is again the Rams leader in tackles as hes racked up 41through six games.

He led all NFL rookie linebackers in tackles in 2009, and he followedup his stellar rookie campaign with a strong performance in his sopho-more NFL season. Laurinaitis led St. Louis with 129 stops last seasonand became the first Ram since Pisa Tinoisoma to record 100 tacklesin each of his first two seasons.

Laurinaitis rarely comes off the field, and he played in a team-high1,093 snaps in 2010. His ability to help in the passing game as well asthe run is a huge asset for the Rams. The former Ohio State Buckeyehad seven passes defensed, one interception and three sacks on theyear. Among Rams, only starting cornerbacks Ron Bartell (13) andBradley Fletcher (12) had more pass breakups.

MAN IN THE MIDDLE

Linebacker James Laurinaitis once again finds himself atop the Rams list of leading tacklers.

Led by P Donnie Jones and K Josh Brown,the Rams have been among the best infootball this season when it comes to specialteams play.

Opponents are averaging just 5.9 yards perpunt return against the Rams, which rankssixth in the NFL.

Additionally, the Rams are giving up just 20.9yards per kickoff return, an average that alsoranks sixth best in the league.

In his 12th NFL season, DE James Hall continues to be a rock forthe Rams defense. He recorded his second sack of the season lastweek when he dropped Tony Romo, and he has 18 tackles, includingtwo for loss, and five quarterback hits on the year.

In 2010, Hall led St. Louis with 10.5 sacks on the year and alsorecorded 57 tackles, including two for loss. Hall also led the Ramsand tied for second in the NFL with six forced fumbles last season.

Hall now has 59.0 career sacks. His 10.5 sacks last year was his

second-highest single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). Hefinished last season ranked ninth in the NFC in sacks.

A HAL L OF A PLAYER

DE James Hall had 10.5 sacks in 2010, which was his second-best season total of his 11-year career. Hes seen here sacking Matt Cassel during a preseason game in August.

Rams DT Fred Robbins was one of the more unheralded signings ofthe 2010 free agency period, but his impact was certainly felt in themiddle of the St. Louis defense.

Robbins set a new career high with 6.0 sacks in 2010 and had a bigimpact on the Rams defense. He held off blockers to allow JamesLaurinaitis to run free, and his pass rush acumen drew the attentionof opposing offenses and helped his defensive line mates.

Among NFC defensive tackles, only Ndamukong Suh (10) and Cullen

Jenkins (7) had more sacks last season than Robbins 6. Saints DTSedrick Ellis also had 6.

On the season, Robbins had 24 total tackles, including four for loss,eight quarterback hits and seven passes defensed. He was a bigreason why the Rams saw a big improvement against the run andon third down.

Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YorkGiants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo was theGiants defensive coordinator. Its no coincidence that those twocampaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins career as he tied hisprevious career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and wasa Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New Yorks run

to their Super Bowl XLII championship.

ROCKIN ROBBIN S

Rams DT Fred Robbins drops Seattle RB Justin Forsett for a loss. After joining St. Louis as a free agent last spring, Robbins made a big impact on a much-improved Rams defense in 2010.

Second-year WR Danario Alexander leadsthe Rams with 287 receiving yards this sea-son and is second with 16 catches.

Alexander, who caught two passes lastweek, enjoyed a six-catch, 91-yard outingat Green Bay in Week 6.

The former Mizzou star is averaging 18.5yards per reception, eighth highest amongNFL receivers with at least 15 receptionsthis season.

In Week 2, Alexander turned in a career-best performance against the Giants as he caught three passes for acareer-high 122 yards and a touchdown. His night included a 68-yardcatch and run. The play was the longest catch of Alexanders careerand was also the longest completion of QB Sam Bradfords career.

The performance in New York allowed Alexander to go over the 100-yard mark for the first time in his career. Last season, he turned ingames of 99 yards vs. San Francisco and 95 yards at Denver.

This week, the Rams host the Saints, which provides Alexanderto catch up with his former college teammate, Chase Daniel. TheSaints backup quarterback played with Alexander for two seasonsat Mizzou.

ALEXA NDER THE GREAT

WR Danario Alexander

Last week, the Rams made a move toupgrade their receiver corps as theysent an undisclosed draft pick to theDenver Broncos in exchange for WRBrandon Lloyd.

The move paid immediate dividends asLloyd caught six passes for 74 yards inhis St. Louis debut last week at Dallas.

A nine-year veteran, Lloyd is reunit-ed with Rams Offensive CoordinatorJosh McDaniels, under whom he had abreakout season in 2010.

While playing in McDaniels offense, Lloyd posted career highs inreceptions (77), receiving yards (1,448) and touchdown catches (11).He led the NFL in receiving yards last season as he was named tohis first Pro Bowl of his career.

This season, Lloyd caught 19 passes for 283 yards in four gameswith the Broncos. His career totals include 266 receptions for 4,175yards and 26 touchdowns.
