With the upcoming release of the NFL schedule, dates and times this week, we thought it would be a good time to once again look at the St. Louis Rams strength of schedule for 2009. The Rams have the 10th easiest schedule based on winning percentage of opponents in 2008. The Rams will play teams that combined to go 119-137 in 2008. They will play 5 teams that made the playoffs, in addition to 7 that had losing records. We will know more on Tuesday when the official NFL schedule is released, but I would imagine the start of the [...]

Mike Florio of Profootballtalk.com believes the Detroit Lions will be selecting Matt Stafford from Georgia as the #1 selection in the upcoming 2009 NFL draft. Florio says he heard from a source the Lions are locked in on Matt Stafford. Florio says the Lions can’t take the PR hit of moving down in the draft by skipping on their No. 1 pick. Because if it’s a bust, that’s a true disaster. This should be very good news for the St. Louis Rams. The Rams should have their pick of tackle, and it seems at the moment that is between Jason [...]

The St. Louis Rams traded for Laurent Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons. The Rams swapped their 5th at 6th round draft picks in the 2009 NFL Draft. The Rams will be moving down from pick #138 to pick #160 in the 5th round. Robinson is a big receiver at 6’2″ and about 200 pounds. In addition he is only 23 years old. The Rams continue to attempt to get younger, stronger, and faster. Robinson could be a steal for the Rams. Robinson was a 3rd round draft pick of the Atlanta Falcons in the 2007 NFL Draft.  Due to a [...]

The St. Louis Rams have signed Kyle Boller. Finally the Rams may have someone to push Marc Bulger. Kyle Boller is a former first round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens. We now know the Rams will not be signing the “Gus Bus” Gus Frerotte which should be great news to Rams fans. Kyle Boller previously play in Baltimore with the Rams new center Jason Brown. So on the surface this is another solid move by the new St. Louis Rams front office. Boller is only 27 and should be a huge upgrade over Trent Green. No offense to Trent [...]

We have to give a shout out to all of the St. Louis Blues fans out there. The Blues are currently in 8th place in the Western Confernce and will take on the Dallas Stars tonight, in Dallas. There is mad Blues love pouring out of St. Louis right now. The Blues 5-4 victory over the hated Detroit Red Wings Thursday night was one of the most exciting wins for the Blues in years. If the Blues can win their remaining games they are in the playoffs. If they lose one or more they will need some help. This week [...]

Our friends back over at NFLMOCKS have their server back up. The 1st round of the Worst Man Draft Tournament is still going on. I supplied the worst draft picks in St. Louis Rams Draft History. I selected L.P. and Trung Candidate. So head on over to NFLMOCKS and make sure to get your votes in. We could be the proud owners of one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history. L.P. is in the South Region and up 92-8% currently over puff-puff-pass Ricky Williams. It looks like he will take on Cade McNown in round 2. Never assume [...]

The St. Louis Rams 2009 preseason schedule has been announced. Fans will as usual be treated to the Rams/Chiefs Governor’s Cup, always a joy. In addition we will get to see Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons come to town. Hopefully we will get to see him play some. Road games include the New York Jets, and Cincinnati Bengals. Not too many big stars to check out in these contests. Let’s just hope the Rams stay injury free and get their star players ready for season action. Hopefully the new coaching staff will put an end to the marshmallow soft [...]
