While aspiring Rams receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey spent the weekend getting acclimated to the NFL rookie camp, Rams short-timer Titus Young was busy getting arrested for the third time in one week. Rams coach Jeff Fisher gave Young a look-...

Take 5 for Monday: 1. My final (for now) takeaway from the Rams' draft is this: this could transform the team and reshape the competition in the NFC West. That sounds dramatic, yes. But please allow me to explain. Defensively, the Rams already have...

Rams appear ready to rev it up

2013-04-29 06:14:02

It's very rare these days for an NFL team to run more than it passes over the course of a season. But Jeff Fisher's teams did so eight times in his 16 full seasons as head coach in Tennessee and Houston. Usually it was Fisher's worst teams that passed...

When he was a child, Tavon Austin was so much faster than the other players that he would run backwards with the ball on purpose during games. "I wish I had some tape, but when I was 7 years old, I used to run backwards in a game, then run forward,"...

Bernie Miklasz: Rams make a bold, beautiful move with Tavon Austin

2013-04-26 00:00:00

ST. LOUIS _ The Rams have added a lightning bolt to their offense. His name is Tavon Austin, the wide receiver, returner and all-purpose baller from West Virginia. The Rams loved this guy all along and clearly were willing to be ultra aggressive to...

1. Chiefs: T Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M. It could be Eric Fisher who goes first, but Joeckel has more big-game experience. If Andy Reid goes defense, it will be Star Lotulelei. 2. Jaguars: T Eric Fisher, Central Michigan. The modern draft never has gone...

Rams coy about intentions as NFL draft nears

ST. LOUIS _ Back in the days of general manager Charley Armey's tenure, the Rams' annual pre-draft news conference was dubbed the "Riverdance" by some. Why? A lot of tap dancing and high-stepping by team officials around the questions posed by members...

Two-way TE Bennett a perfect fit

2013-03-12 13:43:00

Martellus Bennett makes perfect sense for the Chicago Bears as their primary free-agent signing and automatically makes their offense more potent. The beauty of Bennett -- who has reached an agreement in principle with the Bears, a source told the...

As the Bears have combed through the free agent left tackles, they undoubtedly have noticed the group has thinned out like the hair on Brian Urlacher's head. The Broncos put the franchise tag on Ryan Clady. The Chiefs did the same to Brandon Albert. And...

I was really high on this kid to start the season and he has done nothing but disappoint (2 total TDs, 1 game over 60 yards). He has averaged four catches and more than 40 yards the last two weeks, so I'm taking a chance that he's turning the corner.
