MIKE SHANAHAN
NFL Coaching Year: 27th year Redskins Head Coach: 2nd year Regular Season: 154-109-0 (.586) Postseason: 8-5 (.615)
Mike Shanahan was hired as the Washington Redskins Executive Vice President/Head Coach on Jan. 6, 2010. He is the 28th head coach in franchise history. Shanahans 154 regular season wins as an NFL head coach are tied for the 14th-most in history and the second-most among active coaches, trailing only Bill Belichicks 164. During his tenure with the Broncos, Shanahan guided the franchise to two Super Bowl victories, three conference championship game appearances, seven postseason berths and nine winning seasons. Shanahan arrived in Denver from the World Champion San Francisco 49ers, where he served as offensive coordinator for three seasons (1992-94). A driving force behind the Broncos offense for all three of their Super Bowl appearances in the 1980s (following the 1986, 1987 and 1989 seasons), Shanahan first came to Denver in 1984 as the clubs wide receivers coach and served as offensive coordinator from 1985-87. He then returned to Denver as quarterbacks coach on Oct. 16, 1989, after serving as head coach of the Los Angeles Raiders in 1988 and through the first four games of the 1989 campaign. Shanahan began his coaching career as an offensive assistant at Oklahoma from 1975-76. The Sooners won the national championship in his first year on its staff. Shanahan was Northern Arizonas backfield coach in 1977 at the age of 24. A year later, Shanahan returned to Eastern Illinois as offensive coordinator and helped guide his alma mater to the Division II title. In 1979, he served as offensive coordinator at Minnesota, where he implemented the run-and-shoot offense to help the Golden Gophers set 40 school offensive records. Shanahan became the offensive coordinator at Florida the following year. A native of Oak Park, Ill. (born 8/24/52), Michael Edward Shanahan attended East Leyden High School in Franklin Park, Ill., where he was voted athlete of the year as well as most valuable player in both football and track. He received a scholarship to Eastern Illinois University, where he played quarterback before losing a kidney in the spring game of his junior year. He received his Bachelors and Masters degrees at EIU.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER
QB Sam Bradford made his mark on the NFL record books with a spectacular season that turned out to be one of the best ever by a rookie quarterback. Bradford set NFL rookie records for completions (354) and attempts (590), and his 3,512 passing yards in 2010 are the second most by a rookie in NFL history, trailing only Peyton Mannings 3,739 in 1998. Bradfords 18 touchdowns are tied for fifth most among rookies in NFL history. The top overall pick in last years draft is one of just three rookie QB Sam Bradford quarterbacks in NFL history to pass for 3,000 yards in a season. During a midseason stretch, Bradford set an NFL rookie record with 174 consecutive attempts without an interception. Bradford was named Offensive Rookie of the Year by The Associated Press.
QB Sam Bradford has protected the football well throughout his career, and his interception percentage is the lowest in the NFL this season as well as the lowest in Rams history.
Bradford took over a team that went 1-15 in 2009 and led the Rams to a 7-9 record. Most Wins By a Rookie Quarterback Chosen #1 (Since 1970) Year Team Record Sam Bradford 2010 Rams 7-9 Jeff George 1990 Colts 6-7 Jim Plunkett 1971 Patriots 6-8 Drew Bledsoe 1993 Patriots 5-7 John Elway 1983 Broncos 4-6 David Carr 2002 Texans 4-12
As a sophomore at Oklahoma, Bradford won the Heisman Trophy as the nations top college player. When he added Offensive Rookie of the Year honors last season, he became just the seventh player and first quarterback to win both the Heisman and the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.

TAKE IT AWAY
Steve Spagnuolos swarming defense is predicated on takeaways and pressure, and the Rams have become adept at forcing turnovers. Last week against the Ravens, LB Chris Chamberlain forced a Joe Flacco fumble while recording his first career sack. S Quintin Mikell recovered the loose ball. A week earlier, Mikell ended New Yorks opening drive when he intercepted Eli Manning. In Week 1 vs. Philadelphia, the Rams ended an S Craig Dahl Eagles drive when Mikell sacked Michael Vick and forced a fumble, which LB James Laurinaitis recovered. Mikells recovery of the Chamberlain-forced fumble marked the ninth-consecutive game in which St. Louis has recorded at least one takeaway, tied for the sixth-longest active streak among NFL teams. Last season, the Rams second under Spagnuolo, St. Louis finished the year with 26 takeaways, which was six more than the Rams had in 2009. Rams defenders intercepted eight passes in 2009 and had 14 in their second season under Spagnuolo. The Rams forced 19 fumbles as well, which was the fifth most in the NFL according to StatsPass.com.
SACK ATTACK
The Rams were one of the best teams in the NFL when it came to getting after the quarterback in 2010, and theyre off to a good start in 2011 as well. St. Louis has recorded eight sacks through three games this season. DE Chris Long leads the way with 3.0 sacks. Long finished second among Rams in the category last season with 8.5, while James Hall, who dropped Eli Manning Monday in Week 2 for his first sack this season, paced the team with 10.5. In 2010, the Rams recorded 43 sacks on the season as a team, which ranked seventh in the NFL. St. Louis saw a dramatic improvement when it came to reaching the opposing quarterback. In 2009, the club ranked 30th in the NFL with 25 sacks. No team in the NFL experienced a bigger increase in sacks last season than the Rams 18. Detroit also enjoyed an 18-sack increase, while Kansas City (+17) and the New York Giants improved by 14 sacks. 2010 NFL Leaders, Team Sacks Team 1. Pittsburgh Steelers 2t. Green Bay Packers 2t.

WELCOME ABOARD
S Quintin Mikell, who signed with the Rams as a free agent this summer, has provided an immediate impact on St. Louis defense. The nine-year veteran has been a part of a takeaway in each of his first three games in St. Louis. In his Rams debut, Mikell sacked Eagles QB Michael Vick and forced a fumble, which was recovered by LB James Laurinaitis. In Week 2 in New York, Mikell ended the Giants opening drive of the game when he intercepted Eli Manning deep in New York territory.
RUSHING ROBERT
The Rams used the 14th overall pick in last years draft on a young pass rusher who they hoped would help them get after the quarterback, and DE Robert Quinn has quickly shown flashes of why he was highly coveted in April. Last week against Baltimore, Quinn was credited with four quarterback hits on Joe Flacco. In Week 2 at New York, the North Carolina product saw his first NFL action and delivered his first NFL sack DE Robert Quinn in the process as he dropped Eli Manning for an 8-yard loss in the third quarter. Getting to the quarterback was Quinns specialty in college. As a sophomore in 2009 at North Carolina, he was the runner up for the ACCs Defensive Player of the Year award as he recorded 11.0 sacks for the Tar Heels.
Last week, he pounced on a Joe Flacco fumble after LB Chris Chamberlain had knocked the ball away from Baltimores quarterback. Mikell, who spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Eagles, boasts career totals of 5.0 sacks and 11 interceptions. Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo was Mikells position coach during Mikells first NFL season and in all, the two spent four seasons together in Philadelphia.
A HALL OF A PLAYER
In his 12th NFL season, DE James Hall continues to be a rock for the Rams defense. Two weeks ago at New York, Hall recorded his first sack of the season, and he has seven tackles and three quarterback pressures on the year. In 2010, Hall led St. Louis with 10.5 sacks on the year and also recorded 57 tackles, including two for loss. Hall also led the Rams and tied for second in the NFL with six forced fumbles last season. Hall now has 58.0 career sacks. His 10.5 sacks last year was his second-highest single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). He finished last season ranked ninth in the NFC in sacks.
LONG ON TALENT
DE Chris Long is off to a hot start in 2011 as hes picking up from where he left off a year ago. Long has picked up a sack in each of the Rams first three games to give him 3.0 on the season. Hes now recorded at least one sack in 10 of his last 14 games. Last Sunday marked the eighth time Long has recorded a sack in back-to-back weeks during his four-year career. Last week was the second time hes had a sack in three-consecutive weeks. According to StatsPass.com, Long was credited with 36 combined quarDE Chris Long terback hits and knockdowns last season, which tied with Seahawks DE Chris Clemons for the ninth most in the NFL last season. In Week 6 against San Diego last year, Long turned in his first twosack performance of the season and second of his career. For his efforts, Long was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
ROCKIN ROBBINS
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.
The Rams opening day roster featured nine veteran free agents, and they can only hope theyll make the impact that DT Fred Robbins did as a new addition last year. Robbins set a new career high with 6.0 sacks in 2010 and had a big impact on the Rams defense. He held off blockers to allow James Laurinaitis to run free, and his pass rush acumen drew the attention of 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 DT Sedrick 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 big reason why the Rams saw a big improvement against the run and on third down. Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New York Giants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo was the Giants defensive coordinator. Its no coincidence that those two campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins career as he tied his previous career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New Yorks run to their Super Bowl XLII championship.
Linebacker James Laurinaitis once again finds himself atop the Rams list of leading tacklers. 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.
KICKING IT
Rams P Donnie Jones boasts one of the strongest legs in the NFL, and his deep, high kicks have been a weapon for St. Louis in his five seasons with the club. Jones was named an alternate to the Pro Bowl after another strong season in 2010. He finished eighth in the NFL and fourth in the NFC with a gross punting average of 45.5 yards per kick. He also ranked third in the NFL and second in the NFC in net punting average (40.0).
P Donnie Jones
Last week, Jones punted eight times to give him 363 punts as a Ram, third most in team history. Jones entered the day one punt behind Norm Van Brocklin on the teams all-time list. Jones gross average of 47.2 yards per punt as a Ram is tops in team history. The Rams signed Jones as a restricted free agent prior to the 2007 season, and during his time in St. Louis, Jones ranks third among NFL punters in gross average and second in net.

SIMS-WALKER CATCHES ON

LOUIS 16 September 19, 2011 MetLife Stadium -- East Rutherford, New Jersey
The Rams faced the New York Giants in their first Monday Night Football game in five years, losing the contest 28-16. Prior to this game, the Rams had fallen even on Monday Night Games, totaling a 27-27 record beginning in 1968. The Rams jumped out to a early 3-0 lead after a S Quintin Mikell interception set up a 21-yard field goal by K Josh Brown. On the ensuing possession, the Rams forced the Giants into a three-and-out, but rookie PR Greg Salas muffed the punt and the Giants recovered. The fumble recovery led to a 3-yard touchdown pass from QB Eli Manning to WR hakeem Nicks to give the Giants a 7-3 lead. The Rams pulled within one point when Brown hit his second field goal of the night, but LB Michael Boley recovered a RB Carnell Williams fumble and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown, giving the Giants a 14-6 lead. The Giants scored again before halftime, a 22-yard touchdown reception by WR Domenik Hixon. The Rams made a field goal on their first possession of the second half, while the Giants answered with a 9-yard touchdown run by RB Brandon Jacobs. With less than two minutes left to play in the third quarter, QB Sam Bradford connected with WR Danario Alexander for a 19-yard touchdown, bringing the score to 28-16. Neither team scoed in the final period. The touchdown reception was one of three for Alexander on the night, which netted him a career-high 122 yards. The performance marked the first time the Rams have had a 100-yard receiver since Mark Clayton caught 10 passes for 119 yards against Arizona (9/12/10). The completion was one of 22 for Bradford for a career-high 331 yards. The last time the Rams had a 300-yard passer and a 100-yard receiver was when QB Gus Frerotte passed for 311 yards and WR Torry Holt gained 135 yards receving vs. Atlanta (12/2/07). First-round draft pick DE Robert Quinn made his first sack of his career, bringing down Manning in the third quarter for an 8-yard loss. Veteran DEs James Hall and Chris Long also added a sack a piece. FINAL INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS

Rams have pieces in place to build consistent winner By Pete Prisco Sitting at his desk eating a chicken sandwich in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, a NASCAR race on the TV in the background, St. Louis Rams general manager Billy Devaney looks more prepared to use that surfboard leaning against the wall in his office than he is to dive into running a football team. But despite the laid-back, California way about him, Devaney is serious when it comes to football and especially building the Rams into a contender -- not only in their division, but in the league. "We're getting better," Devaney said. "We know we've made progress. But there's a lot to do." In 2009, the Rams were 1-15, the joke of the league, and Devaney was in his first year in charge of turning the Rams around. "I wouldn't wish that on anybody," Devaney said. Here were are two years later and the Rams are considered one of the rising teams in the NFL. Under Devaney's watch, and with coach Steve Spagnoulo ably assisting, the Rams are being built for the long run. We have had countless teams that have popped up over the years to have good seasons, but then fade away. They don't have staying power. If you notice, the really good teams have staying power. They are not the aberration-season teams. The Colts, Patriots, Steelers have all had staying power. The Rams are working to get that. If you study the structure of those good organizations, there are five reasons they have had that sustainable success. They are: Good general manager Sharp coach Franchise quarterback Good veterans for guidance A key group of young, core players The Rams look to have the same makeup. It's far too early to think that the Rams are back to the glory days of The Greatest Show on Turf, but after going 7-9 last season and pushing for a division title, the needle is pointing up. "Teams still look at us as the 1-15 Rams of two years ago," veteran running back Steven Jackson. That would be a mistake. They might not be ready for a Super push this year, but starting in 2012 and beyond they will be in the mix for the Lombardi Trophy. They have Devaney and Spagnuolo, two sharp men, even if they are opposites in terms of demeanor, running things. They have the franchise passer in Sam Bradford, the veteran leader in Jackson and a nice group of young core players. Here's a look at each of the Rams five important components in building a sustainable championship contender. The laid-back general manager Can you believe that a guy from New Jersey is actually laid-back? Devaney was born and raised in the Garden State -- his family is still die-hard Giants fans -- but on his way to running his own team, including stops with five NFL teams, and various jobs that included being a baggage handler, Devaney has morphed into this beach-bum persona.
That comes from his days working with Bobby Beathard, the surfer-GM, when they were in San Diego. "I'm more of a don't-worry-about-it guy," Devaney said. "I took a lot of that from Bobby." Beathard was considered a sharp draft man when he was in the league. And so far in his three years running the Rams draft, Devaney has done a heck of a job. He landed Bradford with the first pick in 2010, and he landed five starters in the first three rounds of his first two drafts in 2009 and 2010. One of those, right tackle Jason Smith, was the second player taken in the 2009 draft and hasn't quite lived up to expectations yet, but he is starting. Building through the draft is the Devaney way. "We knew we had two years to start showing things were turning around or we weren't going to be around," Devaney said. "We had to show improvement in Year Two. What that was going to be, we didn't know. Was it four wins at the end of the year? Whatever it was, it had to be better. We were hoping for the turnaround in Year Three, but now we're just trying to build on what we did." Devaney's first duty was hiring a coach. So he reached out to another East Coast guy in Spagnuolo, who is the exact opposite of Devaney. "He's a live-wire," Devaney said. "But our personalities mesh well." Devaney makes the football decisions, but he consults with Spagnuolo on most of them. "Hopefully, it works for a long time," Devaney said. "He's firm in what he wants and what we want," Spagnuolo said. "It's been a nice transition. Hopefully in Year Three we'll show that on the field from a personnel and coaching standpoint." The mile-a-minute head coach Spagnuolo is like one of those wind-up toys. You pull the string, stand back, and let it go. If ever there were a coaching candidate for a study on Adult Attention Deficit Disorder, Spagnuolo would be it. He's even joked about it. That's because his mind always seems to be racing. When I interviewed him in his office, he was distracted by an injury suffered by nickel corner Jerome Murphy earlier in practice. "Sorry," he said. "I just keep thinking about the kid." The kid suffered a broken ankle. You could see the hurt on Spagnuolo's face as he talked about it. He cares. A Spagnuolo conversation has more detours than I-10 during construction. One minute it's football. The next it's about his wedding at the Vatican. Then baseball. Then back to football. All the while, he is friendly and welcoming. That's why his players like him. He can be tough and demanding, but they also know he cares. "He's a tough, old-fashioned coach, but at the same time he has a feel with the players," Devaney said. "He has a great reputation. It's really neat in free agency when you hear from guys on other teams that they really want to play for Spags." Said Jackson: "Guys respect him. He understands what it takes to be an NFL player." Spagnuolo came to the Rams after serving as the defensive coordinator of the New York Giants. He also served on the staff of Andy Reid in Philadelphia. So his style meshes that of both Tom Coughlin and Reid. He is actively involved with the defense, but leaves the offense to new coordinator Josh McDaniels.
"I still think you win with good quarterback play and good defense," Spagnuolo said. Spagnuolo still has the Boston accent from his youth, so when he yells at players there's no denying where he was born. In two years, the Rams have improved by six victories. That has them wanting more. Spagnuolo had a sign put on the wall in the locker room to remind his players what it takes go get it. It reads: Make Excellence a habit. "I don't think we'll make the next jump if we don't have enough guys who strive for competitive greatness in all they do," Spagnuolo said. "It's something we talk about. It's just talk. Now guys have to go out and do it." The confident and competitive franchise QB When Spagnuolo was looking to hire a new offensive coordinator after the departure of Pat Shurmur to the Cleveland Browns, he had a conversation with Bradford. "If I were to hire a coordinator with a different offensive system, what would you think about it?" Spagnuolo asked him. "I learned last year's offense in one year," Bradford said. "It won't be a problem." That's Bradford, always up for a challenge. "He wasn't even fazed by it," Spagnuolo said. Devaney wanted Bradford the minute he saw him throwing at Oklahoma. He knew Bradford could be the guy to turn the franchise around. After the 1-15 season, giving the Rams the first pick in the 2010 draft, there was little doubt that the quarterback-obsessed Devaney would get his man. "There seems to be so many great ones now," Devaney said. "You need a great one. In years gone by, you could have a solid quarterback and win a lot of games. It seems now unless you have a truly great one, you are at a big disadvantage now. Getting Sam was huge for us." As a rookie, Bradford struggled some, but finished with solid numbers. His passion for the game was something his teammates noticed right away. "He takes his job serious," Jackson said. "He's one of the first guys in the building and he's always here on Tuesday, our day off. He's made great strides this year in being more of a leader, not feeling like he has to prove something to the guys. We saw what he did as a rookie. We believe in his ability and where he can take this team." Bradford's competitive drive is second to none on the team. Teammates marvel at how he enjoys being challenged, in anything, anywhere, by anybody. "That spreads throughout the locker room," receiver Danny Amendola said. Bradford loves the new offense under former Broncos coach Josh McDaniels. It will push the ball down the field more, which should play to his strengths more. He's also more in command of the offense. "When I stepped into the huddle, I was the one talking," Bradford said. "Now I'm more comfortable in the huddle, so if I feel like I might need to say something to a guy about an alignment on a play or say something about a route, I have no problem doing that this year. Last year, I was figuring out what I was going to do most of the time." Looking into the offensive huddle and seeing a guy like Bradford to build around is the most comforting thing for Devaney and Spagnuolo.
"It's a good feeling," Spagnuolo said. "But it can't be just on that guy." "Having a quarterback like that to build around is a pretty big piece," Devaney said. "Even he knows that." The veteran leader Jackson has been through a lot of tough times in St. Louis. All the while, he has put up big rushing numbers with little fanfare. He is the hidden superstar. "I believe at the end of the day, when everyone is retired, you don't focus on the scoreboard, you focus on performance on plays day in and out," Jackson said. "I built my legacy around here on being a tough, hard-nosed player. It's unfortunate the majority of the carries have come on bad teams. But that doesn't make who you are." Now entering his eighth season, Jackson has played on teams that have gone 35-77. He's never been on one with a winning record and has played on teams that went 2-14, 3-13 and 1-15. But, even with little help at times on offense, Jackson has rushed for more than 1,000 yards in each of the past six seasons. He is still a vital part of what the Rams do. "I've used the Reggie Jackson line before, but Steven is the straw that stirs the drink," Devaney said "He's been through a lot of tough times, but he's the consummate pro. He helps people. He's a great teammate. They respect him. It's great that all the crude he's been though and he can still carry himself the way he does." Said Spagnuolo: "He loves it. He's like a warrior." Jackson's per-rush average was 3.8 yards last season, the first time in his career where it has been less than 4.0. That has led to some talk that he's slowing down at age 28. The reality is the interior of the line wasn't very good. They didn't get much push, which hurt the numbers. The passing game also didn't stretch the field, which meant a lot of eight-man fronts. Jackson wouldn't throw teammates under the bus when asked about his drop in production. "It is what it is," Jackson said. "I know I can still play." Core players If you look at any of the recent Super Bowl champions, including the Packers last season, the rosters are dotted with good, young, building-block players. These might not be the stars, but they are vital to the success of building to win a title. The strategy is simple: Draft them. Play them early. Go through growing pains and then watch them blossom in the third, fourth and fifth seasons. The Rams have several of those kinds of players who are essential if they are to build something special. There are middle linebacker James Laurinaitis, defensive end Chris Long, cornerback Bradley Fletcher and left tackle Rodger Saffold. All four are 26 or younger. All four will be counted on for big things in 2011. "Look at the two teams in the Super Bowl," Devaney said. "That's the way you want to build your team. They had a sprinkling of free agents, but most of their kids are from the organization. They draft well, earmark the guys they want to keep around, and then win with them. We want to copycat those guys." When Long arrived as the second player drafted overall in 2008, he came with big expectations. It took time, but he had his best season in 2010. Now he, and the team, appear ready for more.
"I had this misconception coming out that all NFL teams are equal in terms of talent," Long said. "I found out that wasn't the case. We had some holes in some areas that needed to be worked on. I think Coach Spags and Billy Devaney have done an awesome job of bringing in all kinds of players and the right kind of players." So now the pieces seem to be in place. Now comes the hard part for the Rams, taking a step forward. "We learned a lot about what it takes to win in this league," Jackson said. "We blew some games in the fourth quarter that will help us this year. Now we know what to expect. We can build on it." Jackson was asked what it would be like to be on a winner, a playoff winner, a Super Bowl winner. "It would take some time getting used to," he said. He might want to get ready. The Rams should be competitive for the next 5-7 years -- thanks to having the key components in building a successful team.
Rams defense looking to make people take notice BY JIM THOMAS One of the best-kept secrets of the Rams' Super Bowl XXXIV championship run is that one out of every six touchdowns that 1999 season was NOT scored by the offense. Of the 66 TDs scored during a 13-3 regular season, 11 came on returns. Eight of those 11 return TDs were scored by the defense following interceptions or fumble recoveries. (The other three came on kickoff or punt returns.) "That is amazing," Rams defensive coordinator Ken Flajole said. As the Rams aim toward being more productive on offense this year, Flajole is trying to have that mindset spill over to his side of the line of scrimmage. The Rams didn't score a defensive TD last season, and it was the first time since the franchise moved to St. Louis in 1995 that the Rams failed to score a return touchdown of any kind. For the Rams, three or four defensive TDs could mean one or two more victories, and that could be the difference between a playoff berth or sitting out the postseason for the seventh straight season. "It can certainly be a game-breaker if you can turn a turnover into a score on defense," Flajole said. "That can really be a momentum builder for your whole football team." With that in mind, Flajole and the rest of the defensive coaching staff are placing greater emphasis on making "house calls" with interceptions and fumble recoveries. "We've made a big deal of it," Flajole said. "Even in our pre-practice, what we call our Pride Drills, we've spent a lot of time on interception returns. Making sure we're blocking the right guys. Making sure we get to the near sideline. We really have kind of fallen short on getting the ball into the end zone." Scoring TDs may be an extreme example, but there's no doubt this could be the most aggressive defense since coach Steve Spagnuolo's arrival in 2009. The overall talent level and depth has improved on that side of the ball. Many of the core players are entering the third season in the defense and are very familiar with the scheme. Take middle linebacker James Laurinaitis, for instance. "For the most part, we're just trying to focus on being downhill, attacking, aggressive, physical," he said. "And you're trying to do those things over perfect execution all the time." Complex scheme Execution is important, because in the spectrum of NFL defenses, the St. Louis scheme is on the higher end in terms of complexity. Beyond any physical skills needed to succeed in the system, it's also a thinking man's defense. "We're not vanilla by any means," Flajole said. "We ask our guys to play the chess game out there on the field, and they've done a nice job of it. I'm looking at a guy like a James Laurinaitis; I think he, in my opinion, is a very cerebral guy. "When I say that, I think he enjoys the dissecting, diagnosing, getting us in the right call. 'What are they doing out of this formation? How do we adjust?' He's that type of guy. Instead of just lining up and playing." The Rams' aggressive style helped attract several of the seven veteran defensive free agents that signed with the team in late July and early August. "When I was in the market, that's exactly what I was looking for," said linebacker Brady Poppinga, who signed with St. Louis after six seasons in Green Bay. "This is like putting on a pair of comfortable shoes and going with it." Prior to the arrival of Dom Capers as Green Bay's defensive coordinator in 2009, the Packers played more of a passive read-and-react scheme. "It really went against my nature, and it was very difficult for me to adapt," Poppinga said. At that time, Poppinga looked with envy at NFL defenses that had aggressive schemes. "Like the Eagles, like the Giants ... saying, 'Man, I wish I could some day get the opportunity to be a part of those defenses,' " he said. "And lo and behold, that wish came true. So here I am."

McDaniels interviewed with Belichick and Patriots executive Scott Pioli in February 2001. His first day on the job came later that month at the NFL scouting combine. He split his time doing grunt work for Pioli in the front office and grunt work for Belichick and the coaching staff. "They put me in charge of breaking down all the film for the Patriots' defense to study," McDaniels said. "So I was breaking down the offenses that we were playing. That was when I got to see St. Louis in depth that year because we played them in the regular season, then we also played them in the Super Bowl. It was kind of a neat deal because you got to see all the things Mike (Martz) was doing." As stunning as the Patriots' Super Bowl victory was over the Rams, Martz said after the regular-season victory at Foxborough 2 months earlier that the Patriots were good enough to reach the Super Bowl. "I remember that game," McDaniels said. "We blitzed a ton. It was like 55 blitzes, and I don't think we got to Kurt (Warner) once. It was close 24-17 or something like that. But we weren't quite good enough at that point. We were getting better." (Actually, the Patriots did sack Warner once in a game where he threw 41 times for 401 yards and three touchdowns.) Next came two years as a defensive assistant. "Those two years, where I was actually in the (meeting) room on the defense side, were totally invaluable to me because I got to spent every day with Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Rob Ryan, Pepper Johnson, and Bill." In '04, Belichick switched him to quarterbacks coach, and in '05 after offensive coordinator Charlie Weis left to become head coach at Notre Dame, McDaniels began calling plays. At age 29. He wasn't officially given the title of offensive coordinator until the following season. It was a meteoric rise up the coaching ranks, and one that didn't stop there. Following the 2008 season, he was hired as head coach of the Denver Broncos. At age 32. Maybe it was a case of too much too fast, because McDaniels crashed and burned in the Mile High City. After a 6-0 start in '09, the Broncos lost 17 of their next 22 games. Little more than a week after it was discovered that the Broncos had illegally taped a San Francisco walk-through practice prior to a game in London, McDaniels was fired with four games left in the 2010 season. He wasn't unemployed long. REVIVING AN OFFENSE For McDaniels, Denver already seems a long way off. He likes being back in the Midwest, and seems relaxed entering his first season as Rams offensive coordinator. He has a No. 1 overall draft pick at quarterback in Sam Bradford and a two-time Pro Bowl running back in Steven Jackson. But there are question marks in a revamped receiver corps, and the offensive line must show improvement. The Rams drafted a tight end and two wide receivers; in free agency they signed a wide receiver, a right guard and a pair of backup running backs. But really, the team's biggest offseason acquisition was McDaniels. "Bar none, he's one of the best coordinators in the business," said defensive tackle Justin Bannan, who came to the Rams via free agency from Denver. "This guy knows football like no other. He knows the offensive side, and he knows the defensive side. He knows football pretty much better than anyone I've ever seen, so as far as an offensive coordinator you're getting a guy that's a complete student of the game. That knows the game, and knows how to attack weaknesses." The Rams averaged only 18 points a game last season, tied for 26th in the league. To be a legitimate playoff team, they need another touchdown a game. Where does McDaniels find it? "Whenever you go back and look at your team from the last year, there's always things that you see and you say, 'You know what, we've got to improve in these areas,' " McDaniels said. "There's usually a lot of 'em." MISCONCEPTIONS The challenge is identifying the best ways to improve in those areas, and hope that those improvements make you more efficient, more explosive, more productive. Which all sounds pretty basic. On the other hand, trying to pigeon-hole McDaniels' offensive philosophy is trickier. In fact, since he arrived in St. Louis a couple of misconceptions already have sprung up. Namely: 1.) He loves throwing to tight ends.
10
Not really. During four seasons calling plays in New England and two years doing so as Denver's head coach, McDaniels had a tight end catch more than 36 passes only once. In comparison, last year's top tight end in St. Louis (Daniel Fells, now with the Broncos) had 41 catches. As a unit, Rams tight ends caught 70 passes for 697 yards and seven TDs last season. In his six seasons calling plays, McDaniels' tight end units topped 70 receptions only once, had more than 697 yards only twice, and combined for more than seven TDs only twice. 2.) McDaniels is all about the passing game. Not necessarily. Although he's never had a 1,000-yard rusher in New England or Denver, the Patriots finished sixth in rushing offense in 2008, 12th in '06, and 13th in '07. So in three of those six seasons, McDaniels-coached offenses finished in the top half of the league in rushing. They weren't far away from that in 2009, either, when the Broncos finished 18th. So what is his offensive philosophy? "First of all, I just want to win," he said. "That sounds simple, but sometimes I think that means we've got to do what's necessary that week against that team. Sometimes it may be asked of us to play faster and be no-huddle because that's the best thing for that game. Other times it may be run the ball a whole bunch maybe more than normal because that's the best way to play 'em. "The way that I would describe it is we want to try to use the people in our room to give ourselves the best chance to succeed. So if the tight ends warrant us throwing them the ball a whole bunch because they're that good in the passing game, then that's what we should do. "And if we have a great running back which I think we do here then he deserves to touch the ball a certain number of times every week. If the quarterback plays better in the shotgun, then we'll be in the shotgun more. The receivers, if we're better out of a bunch formation than we are in a spread formation, then we should be in a bunch formation." TAKING IT WEEK TO WEEK So take the notion of being flexible using offensive personnel. Couple that with the idea of attacking specific weaknesses of the opposing defense each week. And you have the two basic tenets of the McDaniels' system. In that sense, it's a week-to-week proposition "Largely our concepts and our protections, and what runs we want to run, those will stay fairly the same," McDaniels said. "It's just how you place your guys in the best position to succeed against that defense. That to me is what changes on a weekly basis. "Our guys have been great in training camp because we've tried to simulate that a little bit. Each day has not been, all right, we're running the same things we did yesterday. It's been, here's the new stuff, let's learn it, let's go out and execute it well. We've tried to get them into that frame of mind because that's kind of how we hope to play when we go from week to week." The seeds of that approach were sewn with his father back in Canton. "We were taught to be analytical and we were taught to understand what it is that defenses are trying to accomplish with that front and that coverage and so forth," Thom McDaniels said. "Because everything has a weakness. Everything has a strength. And if we understand the strength and understand the weakness, then we'll attempt to expose the weakness and to attack the weakness to the extent that we can. We'll manipulate the defense if that's possible." Those two early years spent as a defensive assistant in New England were invaluable as well. "We were trying to figure out how to beat other team's offenses, and how our rules worked against certain people," McDaniels said. "When I did transfer over (to offense), a lot of that information has really shaped how I do things on offense." Because of the lockout, McDaniels has had only five weeks to figure out what the Rams's offensive players can and can't do. And if your players aren't good enough, there's nothing in the playbook that can help. And certainly nothing in the NFL Football Encyclopedia, either.

Regardless of the title, Goldberg is the last man standing on the Rams' NFLPA depth chart. The team's two alternate player reps safety Oshiomogho Atogwe and fullback Mike Karney are no longer with the team. Even Goldberg's status is iffy because his contract has expired. He's eligible for free agency, whenever there is free agency. "So technically, the Rams don't have any (NFLPA) representation," Goldberg said, laughing. "But you know what, until they tell me otherwise I'm a Ram. And until they tell me otherwise, I have a responsibility to the guys who elected me (player rep) the guys in that locker room." During the offseason, Goldberg has tried to keep his teammates informed on the labor situation. "I've answered a lot of phone calls, and answered a lot of personal e-mails," Goldberg said. "We're really lucky here in St. Louis to have a great group of guys that are actually extremely bright. So it makes my job a lot easier and a lot less frustrating. Obviously, there's been a lot to keep people up to date about." As for his own free-agent status and the uncertainty that might bring, Goldberg said he hasn't really thought about it. He's one of hundreds of pending free agents in the league whose contract statuses are in limbo during the lockout. "The decision tree is pretty clear for me," Goldberg said. "First, I have to make sure that there's an industry, and then I'll worry about my position in that industry."

Bradford steps into Year 2 ready to go to next level BY BRYAN BURWELL The making of an NFL quarterback is a fascinating process. A year ago at this time, the pro football world was awaiting confirmation that Sam Bradford was as good as advertised. He was the No.1 pick in the NFL Draft, and he was in the early stages of learning his craft. Surrounded by teachers who were trying to teach him new techniques and an entirely new football language not to mention dealing with the scrutiny of teammates and legions of hard-bitten pro football wise guys who are not easily impressed young Mr. Bradford passed with flying colors. He was the NFL's offensive rookie of the year. He set an NFL rookie record for most consecutive passes thrown without an interception. He opened eyes and removed all doubt about his ability to hold up under the physical pounding at this level. Yet now we are on the verge of his second season in the NFL as the Rams starting QB, and the same eyes are on him again. Since we live in a "what have you done for me lately" world in pro sports, we have to pay close attention to these things. So consider this the Bradford Update 2011: The kid isn't a kid anymore, and he's dead set on getting better. The throws are getting better. His command of Josh McDaniels' new offense is shockingly good and his willingness to assume leadership of this team his team is now complete. And just in case you were wondering, he is not looking for modest, incremental improvement for the Rams. He's convinced the Rams can win the Super Bowl. Not in the future, people. He's talking about right here, right now. When asked what his goals were for this season recently, Bradford didn't play coy. "A trophy," he said with a glimmer in his eyes. As in the tall, sterling silver Lombardi Trophy? "Uh huh," he said, smiling even more. "Why else are we in this business?" This came up a lot during the summer as Bradford sat with all the national football writers who came to camp ready to praise Bradford and the Rams for last year's 7-9 season. And every time that happened, Bradford got angry. He told them he did not come to St. Louis with the intent of being average. He came here for the same reason he went to Oklahoma. It's the same reason he used to give his best childhood friend the silent treatment when as 11-year-olds they were playing childhood games in the summer sun. If they're keeping score, Bradford wants to win. "That was my whole point in getting angry with those (reporters)," Bradford said. "Every time I was asked (if he was pleased with last season), I was thinking who in their right mind sets out to go 7-9? If you do that, that is so far from the right mind set that you're almost like not even allowing yourself the chance to succeed. ... It's a joke really." There is nothing in Bradford's competitive DNA that suggests he wants to do anything modestly on the field of play. GROWING UP BRADFORD "I hate to lose," Bradford says, almost embarrassed. "I reallllllly hate to lose." He chuckles when he says this then drops his head in mock shame when asked how competitive he was growing up. "There were a lot of stories, lots of 'em," he says. He recalls the time when he was 11 years old and he and his best friend would get dropped off at a local golf course. The day would start of innocently enough with a bucket of balls on the driving range and maybe a dip in the swimming pool. "But as soon as we got on the golf course, right after the first or second hole, everything changed," Bradford says. "As soon as someone took a one-stroke lead, we stopped being friends. For the next 17 holes, we didn't say a word to each other. It was just bearing down and trying to beat the other guy.
14
"If you hit a good shot, I didn't expect to hear anything from him and he didn't expect to hear anything from me, because it wasn't coming," he says now. "I wanted to beat him and he wanted to beat me and it was just put your head down, make your shots and do whatever you could to get in the other guy's head." The little boys were grinding it out and even after the round was complete win, lose or draw the competitive fire did not extinguish for an hour or so after they finished playing. "We'd be sitting in the kitchen at my house and my mom would make us sandwiches for lunch and that's when we remembered we were friends again," Bradford says. "It was bad. We wouldn't calm down until she handed us our lunch. And then a day later we were back at it again. It really was bad." Even now, a decade later, though, Bradford didn't really act like it was all that bad. In fact, as he tells the story, it sounds like this is a competitive badge of honor, particularly when he explains that he can't really think of a circumstance growing up where he would cut a friend or family member a break on the field of play. "Oh no," he laughs. "I would never let anyone win." 'HE'S OUR LEADER' There were plenty of challenges for the rookie quarterback last year, but there are just as many for the second-year QB, too. There is another new playbook to devour, another offensive coordinator to tutor him on the finer points of the job, another season full of expectations to fulfill. But the one thing that we have already learned about Bradford is this: the questions no longer revolve around if he is up to the task, only when he will blossom fully as one of those once-in-a-generation franchise quarterbacks who can lead a team to championship prosperity. "You know it's crazy to think of him only in his second year," nine-year veteran offensive lineman Adam Goldberg said. "I don't even think of him as a young guy anymore. He's our leader and we do what he tells us to do. You know sometimes when you test things that are not proven, like a rookie, you just keep putting more on their plate to see how they handle it? You start off small, then you keep on piling more and more stuff on their plate." Goldberg is one of those people who enjoys sizing people up. He carefully observed every subtle and not-so-subtle thing that Bradford was confronted with, and came away distinctly impressed. He was waiting to see if the burdens that were being piled on the kid would buckle him even in the slightest way. "But with Sam," said Goldberg, "the more stuff you add, he seems to get more comfortable. It's like you're just giving him another tool in his tool belt." The first challenge he faced for his sophomore season was the labor lockout that kept the players away from coaching and supervised mini-camps and organized off-season team activities. That meant that there would be no intense instruction from coaches on McDaniels' new offensive system. But before the lockout began, Bradford received a playbook from McDaniels and on his own took a crash course in learning every detail of the thick playbook. TAKING CHARGE As the lockout dragged on, the players got together for several unsupervised workouts. As the Rams players traveled around the country conducting off-season workouts from St. Louis to Norman, from Houston to Phoenix, Bradford's teammates began to notice that the quiet and reserved rookie had vanished. It was more than just his outspoken demeanor, though, that was different. It was his complete command of his environment. There were veterans and rookies at these lockout workouts with a new playbook and no coaches there to explain it to them. There were no coaches around to make sure that these makeshift OTA's and mini-camps had the same sense of urgency that supervised workouts would have provided. They had no coaches, but they had Bradford, and that was more than enough. "We knew that we were going in the right direction with Sam this summer," said Mardy Gilyard, the second-year wide receiver who was recently cut. "Sam was some of everybody. He went from being Coach Spags to Mickey D (McDaniels) to being (receivers coach Nolan) Cromwell. He was whoever we needed him to be. He took the tight ends to the side and 'Hey we need to run it this way.' He took our wide receivers aside and said 'Hey we need this (pattern) run here, and we need this (pattern) run there. We need you to break it off at this
15
point, not this point. Do this, do that.' Sam knew exactly how he wanted everything run. And for all this (offensive system) being so brand new, we were all looking at Sam like 'Damned man, you really know it.'" And then Gilyard smiled like he had just discovered a wonderful secret, which of course he actually had. "That's exactly what we need in our starting quarterback," Gilyard said. "You would have thought Sam has been in this league for 10 years by the way he took control of everything." THE GROWTH PROCESS A year ago, he wouldn't have been able to do this. At least that's what Bradford thought. He did not want to be viewed as a cocky rookie who came in with no pelts on the wall expecting people to follow him simply because he was the No.1 draft pick. "I think there were a couple of times (last year) where I shied away or looked for someone else to say something just because I felt, you know, who am I to say something?" Bradford admitted. "As the season went on, I probably felt like in the back of my head, yeah I could have said something. But at the same time I was still not trying to step on toes, and not be that guy where everyone looked at and said, 'What do you know rookie?'" That attitude was not only noticed, but appreciated by veterans like cornerback Ron Bartell. "You definitely appreciate somebody who comes in humble, and willing to learn, willing to listen, especially with the amount of money these guys are being paid nowadays. So it was refreshing to see that. But this football team is going to go as far as he takes us. It's his team. We all recognize that. He's the No.1 overall pick. He did a lot of great things last year. This is his football team. We make no bones about that." But based on the way he played as a rookie, I asked Bradford if he really thought anyone would have raised an eyebrow if he had spoken up more often. "I don't know," he said. This wasn't false modesty. It was the sensible, even-headed manner of a young man who was smart enough to know that leadership is not something you grab, it is something you earn. "Looking back at the beginning of the year, I still had to prove myself," Bradford said. "Now by the end of the year, I did become more vocal. But for most of the time last year, I was still trying to figure out what I was doing. I didn't have time to worry what everyone else was doing. When we were watching film, I was still trying to figure out where I was going to go with the ball. I wasn't trying to harp on people about being a yard short or a yard deep on a pass route. I was just trying to figure out what the defense is doing and what am I going to do. This year I am more comfortable with everything, so I am able to do more than concentrate on my own situation." THE COMPETITIVE FIRE That comfort level with assuming the outspoken leadership role is one of the many things that immediately struck McDaniels as he observed his young quarterback. "That's been really an exciting thing for me to see," says McDaniels. "He is a little bit more reserved in certain settings. But I think that's because he's paying great attention to all the little details and all the coaching points. "But the other night for example (before the pre-season game) in Kansas City, we made one mistake in pregame. We were running our 7on-7s and somebody was misaligned, and he grabbed the skill group right there and just lit into 'em, you know, in a positive way about, 'there's no room for that.' I think that he shows that fire and that intensity specifically on game day. And I think the more comfortable he gets in our offense this year with the guys he's playing with in the huddle, I think you'll see that on a more continual basis. It's there and he shows it. He has a great sense for the right timing for it, too." There have been several revealing moments over the past year where Bradford has exhibited that competitive fire. There were two games last year where coach Steve Spagnuolo wanted to take Bradford out of the game, once when the head coach was trying to protect the kid from getting battered by the defense and once when the coach thought the kid wasn't playing well. Both times Bradford barked back at Spags and refused to come out. It was not a rebellious move. It was a leadership move. Bradford believed that a bad message would be sent to his teammates if the coach ever took him out of a game for any reason other than injury. He didn't care if he was getting beat up. So were his teammates. He didn't care if he was struggling. He would find a way to rebound and give his team its best chance to win.
16
Those were eye-opening moments that showed that Bradford was finding his leadership voice. "When Sam talks it's not for just any reason," says receiver Danny Amendola. "It's because he has something to say. He's going to be one of the great ones. He knows how to get it done."

Competitive fires stoke Bradford and rebuilt Rams BY PETE PRISCO Sitting in a chair inside an office at the St. Louis Rams' facility during a recent interview, Sam Bradford was about as cool as he looks on the field. He was polite. He was courteous. He was thoughtful. But then I made the tactical error of bringing up the team's expectations after the Rams' surprising 7-9 record in 2010, a season that saw Bradford, the top pick in the draft last year, show that he has the tools to be a top-tier quarterback. The Rams were a game away from winning the NFC West after going 1-15 in 2009, so the natural assumption is that it was a good year, including the surprise push for a playoff berth. Don't dare say that to Bradford. "It bugs me when people like you say our expectations are higher now," Bradford said. "For most people, their expectations for this team are middle of the road. That just bugs me. If guys in this building ever start to believe in people's expectations, than we are in trouble. Our expectations are way up there. If we don't get there, we should be mad. We should be pissed off. Last year, for example, we were a game from the playoffs. And I heard more people say we had a good year. I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?' We didn't make the playoffs. We didn't win a playoff game. We didn't make the Super Bowl. You're telling us we had a great year?" That's who Sam Bradford is as a competitor. He doesn't play anything or do anything to finish second. "My expectations are for us to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl," Bradford said. "If you don't think that way, you just settle. That's the worst thing in the world. If I came out and said last year that if we could just win four games it would have been awesome, that's terrible. Who wants to be 4-12? Why ever set expectations like that. It blows my mind." It's that way wherever he competes. Take the ping-pong table. He is the best on the team. But receiver Danny Amendola beats him now and then, and Amendola said it drives Bradford crazy. "I let him know all about it," Amendola said. "He beats me more than I beat him, so I have to get on him when I do win. He doesn't like it." It's that drive and determination that helps feed this young team. If they see their second-year quarterback with that much drive, it has to rub off. "He wants to be the best at ping-pong, he wants to be the best at pool, he wants to be the best at everything," Rams linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "That's the way he is. When your quarterback is that way, guys look to that. That's what's so special about him. "He wants to be the best quarterback. No matter how much money you give him. No matter how high the expectations, nothing will change. His goal is being the best. He's very motivated. He's very competitive." In his first season, Bradford threw for 3,512 yards and had 18 touchdown passes and 15 interceptions. It was an impressive rookie season, one that made Bradford look at times like he's been doing it for a long time. That was on the outside. On the inside, it was a different story. "I was trying to figure out what went along with playing the position," Bradford said. "Kind of doing it on the fly." Bradford said early in his rookie season he would rarely get past the second read. By midseason, he was getting to third and fourth reads. That inability to go through his progressions led to what some said was too much checking down. Bradford's yards-per-attempt average was 6.0 yards, which was lowest among starting quarterbacks -- except fellow rookie Jimmy Clausen of Carolina. That led to the notion that Bradford wouldn't take chance throws. He doesn't like that perception. "I wouldn't say chance, I wouldn't say risky," Bradford said. "I feel as a second-year quarterback now it's a lot easier to go through my progressions. Last year, for the most part, especially early, I'm going to one and two and if it's not there I'm going to throw it away or check it down. Once you feel comfortable in going through the progressions that's where I guess what can appear to be riskier throws happen. They're really not. They're just taking what the defense gives you." Bradford now has to learn a new offense for the second consecutive year. Just as he got settled into the offense run by Pat Shurmur, the Browns hired Shurmur away to be their head coach. Josh McDaniels replaced him. McDaniels was fired as coach of the Denver Broncos, but he brings a reputation as a good offensive mind. The new offense will have more formations. It will have more throws down the field -- be more wide open.
18
And Bradford loves learning a new system all over again. That's the competitor in him. "Any quarterback would be crazy to tell you they wouldn't be excited to play with Josh," Bradford said. "The challenge of learning another new offense is what makes it fun. It's not like it's something I've been doing for 12 years and it's repetitive and boring. I'm not tired of doing the same things every day. It's something new. Every day is a challenge. Every day I feel I am getting better. Every day out there I am getting more confident." Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said the offense will be made up of 60 percent of what McDaniels brings and 40 percent of what Bradford did well last season. "I enjoy watching the interaction between Josh and Sam and seeing how intense Sam is at getting everything down perfect," Spagnuolo said. "That's who he is. I can see that he is very determined and motivated to be perfect in this thing. That's the guy. He's motivated to run this offense better than anybody who has run it." In case anybody's wondering, a guy named Tom Brady ran the same offense. Bradford has a long way to get to that. But he's off to a good start. Just don't tell him that. There's so much more to do -- and this is one quarterback that doesn't seem as if he will ever be content with what he's already done.

"As the MIKE, you feel like you have to be the most prepared out of everybody," Laurinaitis said. "We have a lot of smart players on this defense, but if your MIKE 'backer is screwing up, then everybody else, they don't trust you to make checks when you really need to. So you have to be on point." So he bought a laptop and had it rigged like the coaches' computers by Larry Clerico, who heads the Rams' video operations department. In other words, loaded with film of that week's opponent, so Laurinaitis could take his work home with him. On Tuesday night, the eve of the first practice day of the week, he studies the opponents' running plays and play-action stuff, because that's what the defense will practice against on Wednesday. On Wednesday night, he looks at third-down plays, short-yardage, and goal-line stuff, because that's what the Rams practice against on Thursday. Thursday night, he's all over the red zone stuff, again, because that what goes on during Friday's practice. "I like to stay a day ahead," he said. "Being in Year 3 now, I can kind of start to predict what calls we'll have in for base defenses before we even get the game plan stuff." QB of the defense When it comes to the mental aspect of the defense, and a total understanding of what is widely believed to be a complex scheme, Spagnuolo has seen the growth in Laurinaitis even though it's still early in his NFL career. "He's getting to that point where he'll come over in the middle of the game and say, Hey, they're doing this. They're saying this. Should we go to that?'" Spagnuolo said. "He's thinking further ahead than you would as a player, because he knows. Part of it's him and I getting used to each other. He kind of knows what I might want to do or might want to change, and that comes with - how many games have we been together - 34 games? So he's getting to not quite a graduate school level, but he's in his senior year." The results might not be showing up yet in the won-loss column, or even in the overall play of the defense. But Laurinaitis' impact on the defense is tangible. Former longtime NFL coach Rick Venturi knows as much about linebacker play as just about anyone, and he sees it every game from Laurinaitis. "I think he's playing tremendous," said Venturi, now a radio show co-host and football analyst for WXOS (101.1 FM) in St. Louis. "It's a little bit overshadowed by the lack of (team) success. I mean, he's checking the defense, he's getting guys in the right spot. He looks like he's played for 10 years out there. He knows the system. His leadership presence - you can just feel it. I've coached defense all my life. I mean he's got it." If you watch Laurinaitis before the snap, he looks almost like a quarterback at the line of scrimmage. He's barking out calls, making hand signals, getting players lined up. Sometimes, just like a Peyton Manning, they are dummy calls, or false signals just to throw off the opposing offense. And sometimes, they are "double calls," similar to an audible or a "check-with me" call by a QB. "There are so many different parts to our defense," Long said. "It's really a layered-type thing. And he's got to make all those calls, down to where we line up sometimes. A lot is asked of him, and I think he does a great job with it. We try to help him the best we can, but he really does run the show." A COLLISION SPORT Now the mental part is very important to the ultimate success of the defense from play to play. But at the end of the day, it's a collision sport, especially at the middle linebacker position. "I don't know that our system functions very well if that person (middle linebacker) can't do the cerebral part of it," Spagnuolo said. "But the one thing I always talk to him about is don't let it become a - it's not a basketball game, it's not chess. It's still football. So once you get
23
the mental part done before the ball is snapped, just remember that the game is a physical game and it's about hitting people. It's not about out-thinking them, so he's kind of adopted that." Laurinaitis has taken those words to heart. In the offseason, he worked on improving his quickness and explosiveness. That has helped his range, making him more of a sideline-to-sideline player. His coverage skills never were bad, but they have improved from his rookie season. And the physical part of his game is there, too. "He's a downhill, physical player, who plays really hard," coach John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens said. "He is solid across the board, run and pass. One of the premier linebackers. I think he's going to be in the Pro Bowl soon enough." So even with the pre-eminent inside linebacker of this era coming to the Edward Jones Dome on Sunday, Ray Lewis of the Ravens, keep an eye on Laurinaitis of the Rams. He'll be the one wearing jersey No. 55 - not a red sweater vest.

Burwell: Quinn offered hope in player's time of need BY BRYAN BURWELL Nancy Butters doesn't know all that much about football, but she sure knows plenty about people. Butters is a social worker at Duke University's Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center, and you can learn a lot about people when you spend your working hours dealing in the incomprehensible sadness and uncommon inspiration inside a hospital pediatric ward. This is where Butters first set eyes on a 19-year-old Robert Quinn sitting amidst a room full of kids his age and much younger. Some of the children in the room were laying in beds with IV needles in their arms. Many were frail and bald, barely clinging to life. But there was nothing frail about Quinn. He was a well-muscled football player, not a terminal cancer patient. It was the fall of 2009, two years before the talented University of North Carolina pass rusher would become the first-round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams. Here he was, two years removed from being told rather clinically that he had a tumor growing in his head and that soon he potentially could end up brain dead. "The nurse told me that, then made this very dramatic walk out the room," Quinn remembered. "It was kind of like that Boobie Miles moment (in the movie "Friday Night Lights") when they told him he would never play football again. I looked at my mom and just lost it." But Quinn was one of those medical miracles Nancy Butters prays for every day. He was lucky because the doctors not only discovered that his tumor was benign, soon after an operation to shrink the tumor and reduce the swelling to his brain, Quinn was back playing sports and on his way to becoming a scholarship athlete and a future NFL first-round draft pick. And now here he was at the hospital at her request by the way trying to provide some inspiration for another young football player named Lavelle Sloan, who had recently learned that he too had a tumor lodged on his brain. "It was the most amazing thing," Butters said. "Think about it for a moment. It can't be the easiest thing in the world for a kid that young to have survived something like this like Robert had. And you could understand completely if the last thing he wanted to do would be to go into an environment where everyone around him was acting as a reminder of what he'd gotten through. It could have been the last thing he wanted to see or do. But here he was walking right into this ward with kids taking (chemotherapy), and he handled it wonderfully." Before you start questioning what sort of character the Rams may have drafted with the No. 14 selection in the first round, you might want to check in with Nancy Butters. You have heard the stories about the kid being permanently expelled from NCAA competition for accepting "illegal benefits" from an unscrupulous South Florida jeweler, and maybe you're wondering if the Rams have brought some sort of unsavory scoundrel to Rams Park. If you feel that way, ask Butters what she thinks. She can't stop finding fine things to say about Robert Quinn. "I was sitting there watching him get drafted (Thursday) night and I can't tell you how good that made me feel," she. "I know all the things that were said about him and the trouble he got in with the NCAA, but the Robert I know is a fine young man. ... If you know what I know, you'd understand exactly why I feel this way." A time of hope So what does she know that you don't know? This is not the sort of thing you will find on his football curriculum vitae. The story begins in May, 2009, in a small North Carolina town of Spring Lake when a 5-foot-5, 170-pound running back at Pine Forest High School near Fayetteville named Lavelle Sloan was rushed to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center with blurred vision, severe headaches and vomiting. The 18-year-old Sloan underwent tests that revealed a golf ball-sized tumor growing on the right side of his brain. One day later, he was at Duke undergoing exploratory surgery. When he came to hours later, Sloan sat in his hospital room with his parents and listened as doctors and social workers tried to explain what was wrong. They called it a grade 4 glioblastoma, a malignant cancerous growth that is aggressive and difficult to eradicate. But when you are an 18-year-old kid with a lifetime of dreams floating in your head and some stranger in a white coat starts such sobering conversations, surely all you can hear are the most frightening fragments.

Chris Long leads under-the radar Rams defense BY JIM CORBETT Pressure has long been third-year St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo's hallmark from Super Bowl XLII-winning defensive schemer with the New York Giants to ramping up a seventh-ranked Rams pass rush. With veteran players joining the defensive unit, fourth-year Ram Chris Long looks to increase his sacks. "This could be a breakout year for Chris," coach Steve Spagnuolo says. Pressure has always been an unspoken companion in fourth-year Rams defensive end Chris Long's life. Except now, the second overall pick in 2008 is bringing heat after long ago vowing never to surrender to expectations to live up to father Howie Long's Hall of Fame resume. Long enjoyed an under-the-radar, 8-sack 2010 breakout, a strong indication the 6-3, 276-pound left defensive end is on his way to creating his own pro football name. Second-year quarterback Sam Bradford is the face of the 2011 Rams. Yet how far the Rams go depends on how well Bradford is complemented by an improving defense. Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan won a Super Bowl in 2007 under Spagnuolo and knows exactly how important Long will be to proving the Rams are for real. "It is a defensive-end system," the Fox analyst said. "The way Spags has set it up, Chris is in the right position to have a big, big season. Last year was an unsung year for Chris. He was more reactive, less mechanical. They added some veteran defensive guys who have made plays and been veteran leaders. This could be a breakout year for Chris." Four of those free-agent upgrades include new starters in former Eagles safety Quintin Mikell, strongside linebacker Brady Poppinga, weak-side linebacker Ben Leber and defensive tackle Justin Bannan. In tandem with counterpart end James Hall, Long combined for 19 of the Rams' 43 sacks last season. Further, Long tied for ninth with Seattle's Chris Clemons in combined quarterback hurries and knockdowns with 36. He'll get some help on the other side with first-round rookie speed rusher Robert Quinn figuring to spell the 34-year-old Hall at times. Next up? Long hopes to crack the double-digit sack barrier. "I felt like I was getting there a lot last season," Long said. "Certainly, it's frustrating to get there a lot and not get the sack numbers. But you just have to keep coming at the quarterback, staying positive, knowing you affected the quarterback. "That's all part of playing good team defense, not being selfish just trying to get pressure." Spagnuolo's defense is built in the relentless pressure image preached by late Philadelphia Eagles coordinator Jim Johnson. Spags started in 1999 coaching the Eagles secondary. "I'm hoping Chris has the same performance as last year, if not better," Spagnuolo said. "Obviously, we've always put huge value on that particular end position. We've always done that in this system. I learned that years back with Jim Johnson and Andy Reid. "We've got some guys now we hope can keep doing that. Chris is one of them." A run defense that sprung cut-back leaks Aug. 20 against the Tennessee Titans tightened up in a Week 3 preseason showing against Kansas City.
28
Long figures to see less of the incessant holding by offensive linemen give the interior line additions of Bannan and former Indianapolis Colt defensive tackle Daniel Muir plus former Green Bay Packer Poppinga and former Minnesota Viking Leber upgrading the unit's two outside linebacker spots. "In an offseason where there were a lot of big-name free-agent acquisitions across the league, we went with guys that maybe not as many people know as well, but they're great football players," Long said. "They're going to be integral parts of this scheme and also they come from places where they're accustomed to winning. Both Poppinga and (cornerback) Al Harris came from the Packers, who just got a Super Bowl ring. "Q' Mikell just came from Philly, where they're accustomed to winning every year. "We've acquired guys who know how to win and set that standard of excellence." A 12th-ranked scoring defense figures to be stingier. "It's fun to play in this defense," middle linebacker James Laurinaitis said. "It's a very exotic scheme with a lot of pressures. "But just because we went from 1-15 to 7-9 and almost making the playoffs last year doesn't guarantee we'll be better. "We have to stay hungry to get there."

Gibson is an early standout among Rams receivers BY BILL COATS With 12 wide receivers on hand for Rams training camp and probably no more than six spots available on the regular-season roster, the competition promises to be intense. Bring it on, says third-year pro Brandon Gibson. "You've got to like the competition; it's what's best for the team," Gibson. Besides, he added, "There's nothing you can do about it. Just go out there and play every day." Over the first four days of camp, Gibson has kicked off a strong bid for a job. He's been working mostly with the first-team offense, which, Gibson pointed out, doesn't mean much this early. "I don't want to get too excited in this process," he said. "I'm just going to try to stay level." Despite a couple of missteps during Tuesday's 2-hour practice in stifling heat, Gibson has been cobbling together a strong showing. "Everything he's done, he's done it a hundred miles an hour," coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "He's almost to the point where he's worn himself out a little bit. But I know one thing: The quarterback has a lot of confidence in him." Gibson was one of the beneficiaries of the arrival of No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford, who threw for 3,512 yards last year and was named Associated Press offensive rookie of the year. The 6-foot, 210-pound Gibson, a sixth-round draft pick out of Washington State, nearly boosted his totals significantly from his rookie year, when he was acquired in a trade from Philadelphia just over a month into the season. Gibson had 53 catches, an increase of 19 from 2009, and piled up 620 yards after getting 348 the year before. He was second among the Rams to Danny Amendola in receptions and yards. Still, Gibson wasn't celebrating his individual accomplishments. The 16-6 season-ending loss at Seattle, which deprived the Rams of a playoff spot, "left a bad taste in my mouth," Gibson said. "I want to get another shot at winning the NFC West." To close in on that goal, the Rams will have to exploit the offense brought by new coordinator Josh McDaniels. He was head coach in Denver in 2009 and part of 2010, and before that served as offensive coordinator under Bill Belichick in New England. McDaniels' system is "intricate, it's detailed, it's complex," Gibson said. "It's going to be great. You saw last year with Denver and in years past with the Patriots, it can be very explosive." It also relies heavily on multi-wideout sets, something that naturally pleases Gibson. "But I think in any offense there's opportunities," he said. "You've just got to make the most of them." And that's the plan, as he heads into year two with Bradford. "That was one of my goals, to pick up where I left off last year," Gibson said. "So hopefully we can continue to get better and better."

"I've been in this situation before, not so much coming off the injury, but to help build," Harris said. "We weren't always the best teams in Philly, and we weren't always the best teams in Green Bay. ... So you help build by working, and the things that were passed on to me I can pass on to the younger guys." Like all other newly signed veterans around the league, Harris can't practice until the collective bargaining agreement is officially approved. But even in the handful of practices so far in camp, he has made his presence felt working with the other cornerbacks. Bartell and Bradley Fletcher are the Rams' starting cornerbacks, and that won't change. But Harris might help on the field in the team's nickel and dime packages. And with all his experience and his willingness to share that knowledge, his role might best be described as player-coach. "I think he's a great influence on the rest of the guys in that group, because he's been through it," Spagnuolo said. "He's been doing it a long time. We put a lot of value on press corners, and Al has done that for a long time. So hopefully, by osmosis here, some guys will learn something and he'll play some good football, too."

"If I had to say anything about it, it would have to be perseverance," Kendricks said. "You've got to come out here with your mind right and ready to go. Definitely an eye-opener." Cornerback Ron Bartell sprained his left ankle covering rookie wide receiver Greg Salas, but walked to the trainer's room and after X-rays Spagnuolo characterized the injury as mild. Players are getting the day off Wednesday, a planned break in the schedule to avoid further soft-tissue injuries. Bradford had a long work day planned. "My day off? Film and study," Bradford said. "I've got to try to stay ahead."

Rams wasted little time getting Justin Bannan BY JIM THOMAS The moment free agency opened in 2010, Justin Bannan's phone rang. It was Steve Spagnuolo on the line. The Rams head coach wanted Bannan then a Baltimore Raven to come to St. Louis as an unrestricted free agent. "Yeah, right at midnight he called me and we just had a good talk," Bannan said. "That was pretty cool. I didn't expect that." Bannan ended up signing with the Denver Broncos, but like a spurned suitor, Spagnuolo wouldn't take no for an answer. When the 2011 free agency period finally opened two weeks ago, Spagnuolo and the Rams went out early and hard once again after Bannan, a defensive tackle. This time, the Rams got their man with Bannan signing a three-year contract worth $8.5 million. Back on the market as a salary cap casualty after just one season in Denver, several teams showed interest in Bannan. So why the Rams? "The fact that they wanted me," Bannan said. "They really went out of their way to let me know that, and to me that goes a long way. In my view, you want to go where you're wanted. The coaches did a great job of reaching out to me early in the week (following the end of the lockout), and getting this thing going." Bannan hadn't forgotten that phone call from Spagnuolo a year earlier, either. "I knew that I was on their radar screen before I went to Denver," Bannan said. "I think having Coach (Josh) McDaniels come over and probably vouch for me was also a plus." McDaniels, the Rams' offensive coordinator, was Denver's head coach a year ago. It's clear Spagnuolo must have seen something he liked on tape of Bannan, or he wouldn't have gone after him two years in a row. "I guess so," Bannan said, laughing. "Hopefully, I don't disappointment him. It's nice to have the coach look out for you like that." When it came to restocking the shelf at defensive tackle, the Rams didn't stop with Bannan. The team subsequently signed free agent Daniel Muir of Indianapolis, and a few days later, re-signed Gary Gibson. "We're always looking for big guys," Spagnuolo said. "We've said all along, we're wanting to build this thing from the inside out, and big men were important." The newcomers, Bannan and Muir, look the part. Bannan is 6-3, 310 pounds, and Muir is 6-2, 312. Bannan, 32, is regarded as a no-nonsense, blue-collar type, but he's more than just a try-hard, high-motor guy. He's got some athleticism and has a quick first step off the ball which helps him get penetration on run defense. "I would describe myself as a consistent football player in the NFL," Bannan said. "I pride myself on being a professional. I take my job very seriously. You don't have to tell me to do something twice. "I think I play as hard as I can, play-in, play-out. And I'm not a selfish player. I'll sell out for the defense, to help the d-line out or the linebackers out. You're going to see a guy that loves the game of football and goes out and gives it everything he has." Like Bannan, Muir is a run stopper by trade, although Muir insists he can get to the passer. "I didn't get an opportunity to pass-rush at Indianapolis, so I think here they'll be surprised to see that I can pass-rush with my size," Muir said with a playful smile. So you're a better pass rusher than given credit for? "Something like that," Muir said. Spagnuolo seemed genuinely amused when those comments were relayed to him.

"I'm going to trust him on that, that he's underrated (as a pass rusher)," Spagnuolo said. "We'll see how it goes." But Muir, 27, knows he was brought here to stop the run. St. Louis finished 17th in run defense a year ago, after finishing 27th in 2009 and 29th in '08. Spagnuolo obviously wants to do even better, even with last year's improvement. "You've got to go out there and stop the run first," Muir said. "That's the most important thing." Muir says it's emphasized more in the Rams' scheme than it was with the Colts. "It's a lot different," Muir said. "I wouldn't say that Indy's not concerned with stopping the run, but here, it's keyed to stopping the run first and foremost." Muir said the Colts didn't show much interest in re-signing him. He said he talked some to Denver and "a little bit" to Seattle. The Rams, obviously, liked him a lot, to the point where they wondered: "Are we missing something? Why aren't more people after this guy?" "I've always been the underdog," Muir said. "It's always been that way for me. Coming up from high school, college, pros everything. I came in as a rookie free agent; I've always had to work for what I wanted. ... Hey, the Rams saw my film, that's what's important." In Bannan, Muir, Gibson, and Fred Robbins, the Rams now have four players on their roster who were primary starters for their respective teams last season. Throw in returning squad members Darell Scott and Jermelle Cudjo, and there is plenty of competition at defensive tackle in camp. "There's lots of competition, and I think that's how they wanted to set this thing up," said Bannan, who missed practice Wednesday after tweaking his triceps muscle. "What's cool is everybody on the defensive line it's a great group of guys. "All I can do is go out there and bust my butt as hard as I can every day and try and get better."

"Once Spags called me, I was like, 'Yeah, let's go,' " Mikell said. "I was very excited. Because I know the defense, I know what he brings to the table, I love the way that he coaches. It'd be nice to help a program, an organization like the Rams, kinda get back to where they used to be." Mikell, 5-10, 203, can play both the free and strong safety positions and is a sure tackler. The Spagnuolo system seems to blur the distinction between the two positions anyway. But in effect, Mikell is replacing Atogwe, who not only was one of the most productive players on defense, but one of the more popular and well-respected ones in the locker room. No one was closer to Atogwe than Rams cornerback Ron Bartell. But even Bartell already gives Mikell a stamp of approval. "I don't think there'll be that big of a dropoff if any," Bartell said. " 'Q,' he brings a totally different style. He's physical. You can play him deep. He's very versatile. Honestly, I think he's one of the more underrated safeties in the NFL. Great locker room guy. He's been a pleasure to work with so far." Although the basics of the Rams' defensive scheme are the same as what Mikell learned in Philadelphia, it has evolved since then. He's picking things up quickly, but Mikell said the scheme has more differences than he expected. Nonetheless, he says: "I felt like I was molded for this defense. I can move around. I can cover. I can let the corners play. I can play manto-man. I can coach. So I can do a lot of different things. I think I'm just a rounded player for it." Which explains, after all, why he's here.

"Sam Bradford. Josh McDaniels. The wide receiver corps that we do have," Sims-Walker said. "Very underrated. I promise you. Very underrated. I train with some of the best receivers in the game. I've seen a lot, I've studied a lot of the best receivers in the game. Trust me, these guys are right there. We've just got to get it together, go out here and grind every day, compete with each other, and we'll be fine." Jacksonville was more of a run-oriented team during Sims-Walker's tenure there. In 2010, the Jaguars were one of only four teams in the NFL that ran the ball more than it passed. "Here, we spread it around a lot more," Sims-Walker said. "It's a receiver's dream with Josh McDaniels at the helm at OC. He throws the ball. That's all he stresses is putting stress on the defense." When drafted in the third round of the 2007 draft out of Central Florida, he was known simply as Mike Walker. But he changed his name to Sims-Walker after his father Michael Sims died of colon cancer Dec. 6, 2008. "That was very devastating for me because my dad was like my everything," Sims-Walker said. He started the Mike-Sims Walker Foundation in 2010, with the dual purpose of educating people on the prevention of colon cancer and providing support for those affected by the illness. Maybe it's mere coincidence, but Sims-Walker's career took off after the name change. He missed his entire rookie season with a knee injury. Knee problems plagued him again in '08, when he played in nine games and caught 16 passes as Mike Walker. But as Sims-Walker in 2009, he broke out with 63 catches for 869 yards and seven TDs. Slowed by a nagging ankle injury last season, he finished with 43 catches for 562 yards and seven TDs. "I think when I'm healthy I'm one of the best guys to play this game," he said. With a fresh start in St. Louis, he'll try to show that this season.

After six generally productive seasons with the Bucs, Williams has proved his value in the NFL. Still, he'd like to re-emphasize his viability. "I feel like I have a lot of football left in me," he said. "I do want to establish myself as a guy who can get the job done. Every time I get my chance, I'm out there doing my best. But that's just me."
