    Defense Rests !???!

    OK, the Rams survived their worst defensive effort of the season. My take....the Gods are watching out for us. What better place all season for the Rams defense to have a bad game but in Carolina? Couldn't have happened at a better time. Lovie Smith now makes Polley a starter (good move) and makes a very important statement to his team. No excuses ! That's right, no excuses about an injured secondary, a tired team after an emotional Monday night victory. Bull ! He doesn't buy it and he won't let his players either.

    What unbelievable timing for this wake up call. Look for the Rams defense to swarm the Colts on Sunday. Look for some intensity from the defensive side of the ball from the Rams for the last two games of the regular season. Then look for a totally healthy unit to come into the playoffs with one very important lesson learned, you can't let up.

    You tell, me, are the football Gods watching over the Rams this year or what?

    Warner, healthy. Faulk, healthy. Receivers, healthy. Line, healthy. Secondary, almost back to 100%. Two indoor games left, both at home, both against losing teams with not much to play for. Oh yeah, and did I mention, AZ Hakim will no longer be returning punts, finally.

    Unless, for some reason, the football Gods turn against St. Louis, it looks really quite good for another super bowl opportunity.

    If nothing else, we've had another great year to watch and we've got lots to look forward to.

    GO RAMS, beat the Colts and win it all !

    Somebody is definitely watching, a lot of people are healthy and playing well and the Defense is good when it needs to be. This definitely seems like our year and with Pittsburgh and Chicago getting all the attention, maybe we can get the Rodney Dangerfield attitude into it to beef us up some more...:o

      That was the worst performance....
      by xfactor28
      I have seen since the banks days. Not counting the Warner injury season. They had exactly what they wanted on offense, and couldnt produce. The defense couldnt stop a pop warner team. Pathetic. At this point I see this team falling apart at the seams.

      New-look defense gives Rams hope

      ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
      08/09/2006

      Every day they come walking off the practice field with these subtle smiles on their faces. Every day, the same Rams defensive players who spent the past two seasons trudging off the field with frustration in their guts, anger in their eyes and confusion in their heads are now strutting around Rams Park with the confident looks of men who believe they've just recovered their Mojo.

      A few days ago after spending another exhausting two hours in the broiling St. Louis heat, defensive end Leonard Little came bouncing off the practice field grinning like a man aching to reveal a delicious secret.

      "Man I'm tellin' you this is the fastest defense I've ever been on in my life," he said in a voice barely above a whisper. His eyes kept darting back and forth, almost like he was afraid someone might overhear him and discover this precious tidbit. "I'm tellin' you, man, it's different around here. Real different."

      That, of course is what everyone at Rams Park is hoping. There is a quiet aura of optimism simmering just below the surface around this place as people begin to observe the work in progress that is the reclamation project of the Rams defense. While we all knew that new head coach Scott Linehan would tinker around a little bit with the offensive playbook, what he's essentially expected to do is merely rearrange the furniture a little bit. He already has some fine stuff to work with (see: Marc Bulger, Torry Holt, Isaac Bruce, Steven Jackson, Orlando Pace, et al), so what we're going to see is a little tweak here and there.

      But anyone who has suffered through seeing the Rams play defense over the past few seasons knew that nothing short of a major urban renewal project was needed for the defense that ranked near the bottom of every significant category in the NFL last year.

      The 2005 Rams were that rare group of defenders who couldn't stop the run, couldn't stop the pass and couldn't keep anyone out of the end zone. So the Rams brass broke out the blowtorches, immediately signing several high-priced defensive veteran free agents like Pro Bowl defensive tackle La'Roi Glover and rising young middle linebacker Wil Witherspoon, used the first pick in the draft on cornerback Tye Hill, and most importantly brought in an entirely new coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball, led by former New Orleans head coach Jim Haslett, who could end up being the team MVP if his aggressive coaching schemes dramatically improve the train wreck predecessor Larry Marmie left behind.

      "Let's just say that it's a whole new look for us with Haslett calling the shots," said Anthony Hargrove, the high-motor third-year defensive end. "This is a man who understands personnel."

      As Hargrove spoke, he would cut his eyes over to Little and they both just nodded...

      Could it be? Defense...
      by live4ramin
      My love of football is on the offensive side of the ball, particularly the offensive line. The blocking and the pride these guys have when they jel into one unit, usually without much in the way of credit.

      But silently this team's defense just keeps getting a little better. If these guys can stay healthy and build a little pride in keeping the offense off the field Spags may turn this group of nobodies into something to get excited about.

      I've never had a great defense to watch on Sundays. It was always time to grab a snack and a cold beverage. It could be a life changer for some of us.
