2010 NFL Preview > St. Louis Rams Preview2010 St. Louis Rams Football Preview
Head Coach: Steve Spagnuolo 2009 Record: 1-15 (4th place in NFC West) Pro Bowlers: Steven Jackson (RB) AP All-Pros: Steven Jackson (2nd team), Donnie Jones (2nd team)
2009 Review:Where do we start with the St. Louis Rams? The Rams have won six games in the past three seasons (compare that with the Colts who have won at least 12 games in seven straight seasons). Steve Spagnuolo knew that this would not be easy coming to St. Louis but he viewed it as a challenge (maybe he didn’t understand how big a challenge). The Rams in 2009 showed they really need help on both sides of the ball, with one of the best backs in the NFL in Steven Jackson they really asked him to do more than is humanly possible for one man and it showed. Fact is in the NFL if the defense knows that you only have one solid weapon then they key on that weapon. The Rams only had one win this season and that was against the Lions so I don’t know if you can call that a win. Steven Jackson still displayed why he is one of the top backs in the league with his hard nosed running style and being able to catch the ball out of the backfield. In order for the Rams to get more than one win, they must utilize the free agent market and the draft picks and they must find key pieces on both sides of the ball.
2010 Preview:The Rams knew coming into the draft that the key would be to find a quarterback, one that could be the face of the franchise for years to come, but did they get that in Sam Bradford? There are many questions about Bradford and his durability and he will have to answer those on the field. The key for the Rams is to put pieces around Bradford and Jackson to one establish the solid running game and then second form some kind of passing game to take the pressure off of Jackson. Do the Rams stand a chance this season? Not in my mind they are a young team that seems to be in the rebuilding process (a slow rebuilding process) until they get some urgency about them they will find themselves at the bottom of the NFC West.
2010 Prediction:St. Louis Rams: 4-12 (4th place in NFC West)
