Danny Amendola is ACTIVE

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Danny Amendola, Inactives, St. Louis Rams on Nov 25, 2012

I’m not sure what’s riskier: skydiving with no parachute and testing your long-held theory that humans can levitate on command, or starting a hobbled Danny Amendola today.

But the latter option is now available to you even though the Rams receiver missed practice all week due to a heel injury and was therefore viewed as having less than zero chance of playing today. Yet here we are, looking at an inactives list for St. Louis’ game this afternoon against Arizona that doesn’t include Amendola’s name.

Update: Amendola will play

Posted by Devang Desai under Danny Amendola, Injuries, St. Louis Rams on Nov 25, 2012

Update 2:51pm : Amendola will play in a major surprise.

Amendola didn’t practice at all this week. The 4:25 pm kickoff will give fantasy owners time to adjust, but make sure you have options at the WR/Flex position. If Amendola is unable to go Chris Givens and Brandon Gibson will get more targets from Sam Bradford.

The Tape Never Lies: Looking at the Cardinals and their inability to protect a quarterback

Posted by Alen Dumonjic under Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams, The Tape Never Lies on Nov 24, 2012

Chris Long eats pieces of quarterback for breakfast.

There are only appalling words that can be used to describe the Arizona Cardinals’ 2012 offensive line. Atrocious, abominable, rough, criminal, stinky, faulty, inadequate, and inferior are just a few of them. A total of 44 sacks have been allowed by the Arizona blockers and an additional 64 hits on not one, not two, but three quarterbacks. Ouch! And WOW!

One of the lowest moments of the 2012 regular season came in Week 5 against the hated St. Louis Rams.  The Rams sacked quarterback Kevin Kolb — who managed to actually attempt 50 passes — nine (!) times and won the game handily 17-3. Twelve weeks later, they meet again tomorrow.

Chris Givens is inactive because he’s apparently a jerk

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Inactives, St. Louis Rams on Nov 11, 2012

Or something. We really don’t know why he’s inactive, we just know that those who had enjoyed using him with the knowledge that Josh Gordon now wears Chris Givens pajamas since the two receivers are identical in their speedy deep ball ways aren’t enjoying very much in life at this very second.

Here’s what we do know: he’s inactive for the Rams’ late afternoon game today against the 49ers because he evidently broke a team rule. Rookie cornerback Janoris Jenkins is also inactive for the same reason, which is greeted with exactly zero surprise. Red flags are still red.

Will Steven Jackson or DeAngelo Williams be traded?

Posted by Darren Kritzer under Carolina Panthers, DeAngelo Williams, St. Louis Rams, Steven Jackson on Oct 28, 2012

The NFL trade deadline is only a few days away. Unlike the other leagues, more specifically the NBA, NHL and MLB, the NFL deadline usually comes and goes without any significant movement. Even after the NFL and NFLPA agreed to change the deadline from the Tuesday following week 6 to week 8 this season, rumours of players swapping teams has been almost nonexistent.

This morning though, we heard a few names being talked about as possible trade candidates come Tuesday.

Steven Jackson is no longer a legitimate fantasy starter

Posted by Devang Desai under Predicting, St. Louis Rams, Steven Jackson on Oct 17, 2012

It’s been a precipitous fall for Steven Jackson.

Two years ago the Oregon State alum was ranked fifth in fantasy value. He occupied a spot in the top five for four consecutive years. Last year, 19th. This year, 24th.

It’s clear where we’re heading with this. After struggling with his health, Jackson is in danger of being supplanted as the featured back by rookie Daryl Richardson. The Rams selected two running backs in the ’12 draft including Richardson and second rounder Isaiah Pead. Read the rest of this entry »

Week 6 GIFs: Somehow Sam Bradford’s body isn’t in two pieces

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under Moving pictures, St. Louis Rams on Oct 15, 2012

Every Sunday I’m reminded of reasons why I could never, ever play football at an elite level. But beyond the obvious (like, say, lack of skill, athleticism, and coordination), there’s one that always stands out as I watch repeated devastating blows: I thoroughly enjoy having a human body that doesn’t need any assembly.

Your browser-slowing GIF fun this week includes Sam Bradford nearly breaking, a second teeth-shaking angle for the Welker hit, and A.J. Hawk doing something awful to the Texans with his fingers.
