Rams Gameday Release

[AlphaRam]

For those that are not aware, the Rams put out a guide for the media each week for the upcoming game.

If you go to the Rams website, click "Gameday", a list of games appear. For this week you would click on the Whiners. A new page appears. Scroll down a bit and click on "St. Louis Gameday Release". This will open a sizable .pdf file.


I try to open them each week and save it on my computer as I like to archive such stuff. If you haven't seen this and like it I am not ashamed to accept some rep....lol

The game release is out for the game against the Colts.

The Rams and Colts have met 42 times,
but the history between the teams goes
much deeper than meetings on the field.
On July 14 1972, Baltimore Colts owner
Carroll Rosenbloom made an unprecedented
and historic move as he traded his
Baltimore franchise to Robert Irsay in
exchange for the Los Angeles Rams. Irsay
had purchased the Rams from the estate
of the late Daniel F. Reeves, the former
Rams owner who passed away in 1971.
The Rams’ won six consecutive NFC West
championships (1973-78) under Rosenbloom before his death in
1979.
The Rams would be linked again in 1999
when the team traded second- and fifthround
draft choices for Colts’ RB Marshall
Faulk. Faulk, the No. 2 overall choice in
the 1994 NFL Draft, became an instrumental
part of the Rams championship run in
1999, which ended with a 23-17 victory
over Tennessee in Super Bowl XXXIV.
Faulk played for the Rams from 1999-
2006. As a member of the Rams, Faulk
was selected to four Pro Bowls (1999-
2002), earned three All-Pro selections
(1999-2001), was named NFL MVP (2000)
and was a three-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year (1999-2001).
The Rams retired Faulk’s No. 28 during the 2007 season.

The release for the Lions game is on the Rams website.

The Rams travel this week to face the Detroit Lions atFord Field. The Rams are facing the Lions for the firsttime since 2006 and traveling to Ford Field for the first
time since 2003.

This week’s contest is the 81st between the teams
(including one postseason meeting). The Rams have met
only three teams more times than Detroit (San Francisco
120, Green Bay 91, Chicago 88). The Rams hold a 41-
38-1 lead in the series (including 0-1 vs. Detroit in the
postseason). The series began in 1937, the Rams’ first year in the NFL.

Detroit enters the game after a bye week in Week 7. The Rams look to rebound this week after a loss to the Indianapolis Colts at the Edward Jones Dome in St.
Louis. Against the Colts, RB Steven Jackson continued his impressive play as he rushed for a season-high 134 yards on 23 carries. Jackson gained 95 of his yards in the third quarter, the most in a single quarter in his career. The game was Jackson’s third 100-yard game of the season and the 19th of his career.

Jackson ranks third in the NFL in rushing with 635 yards and is second in the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 804 total yards.

Never knew that was there!

247 pages????

WOW! I had no idea it was that long. In past seasons, it ranged from 25-50 pages. As I scrolled through, there is a bio page for each player, Rams records....just about anything you would want to know about the Rams past or present.

Sam Butich was the leading receiver for the Rams in 1937. I think I will print this thing tomorrow at work.

Interesting for sure, thats about everything you would ever need to know about rams vs their opponent.

[C-Mob 71]

Probably the coolest thing I found was the "How the Rams were Built" section. Shows each years draft, free agents, and trade acquisitions for the Rams. I'm sure we all remember how we got everybody, but it is still pretty cool to see it broken down like that. Oh and looking at the draft column is very depressing, that list should be a lot longer before 2004, but past is the past...
