QB Sam Bradford saw his name attached

to numerous NFL rookie records.

While proud of his statistical accomplish-

ments, Bradford has always maintained

that the win-loss column is really the only

item he’s interested in tracking.

That being the case, Bradford did make

an impact in his favorite statistic. His

seven wins are the most by a rookie

A YEAR TO REMEMBER

8/6/2019 Pre2 vs. TEN


Turnovers can often tell the story in

the NFL, and they certainly painted a

big portion of the picture for the 2010

Rams.

St. Louis was 6-1 last season when

they won the turnover battle. St. Louis

committed just 21 turnovers this sea-

son, tied for 8th fewest in the NFL.

The Rams committed 33 in 2009.

The Rams were aided by superb ball

protection from their player who han-

dles it most often. When RB Steven

Jackson lost a fumble in Week 14 in

New Orleans, it was his first lost fum-

ble in 562 touches. He’s lost just 14 fumbles in 2,205 career touches.

As a team, St. Louis lost just six fumbles in 2010, tied for the second

fewest in the NFL on the year.

TURN OVER STORY

QB Sam Bradford and C Jason Brown

Last season, the Rams’ offense made great strides in the m

important statistical category, which led to the team winning six m

games than it did in 2009.

Although St. Louis had no significant changes at the wide recei

tight end and running back positions, the Rams scored 114 m

points in 2010 than they did in 2009, an increase of 7.2 points

game.

The jump was a significant one for St. Louis. Among NFL teams,

Oakland experienced a greater increase in points scored in 2010

OFFENSE ON THE RISE

One year removed from allowing 44

sacks, the Rams kept their quarter-back upright at a much better rate in

2010.

Sam Bradford was dropped by oppo-

nents just 34 times last season. The

10-sack decrease was the sixth-best

improvement in the NFL over 2009

team totals.

Making the single-year improvement

more impressive is the fact that the

team accomplished the feat with

both a rookie quarterback and rookie

left tackle in Rodger Saffold. Theteam’s starting right tackle, second-

year pro Jason Smith, entered the season with just five career

starts under his belt.

No team in the NFL had fewer combined starts at the right tackle,

left tackle and quarterback position than the Rams did going into

2010, yet St. Louis still enjoyed an increase of 7.2 points per game

offensively.

The Rams finished the season ranked 12th in the NFL in sacks per

pass play at 5.76 percent, a dramatic improvement over their 8.1

rate in 2009, which ranked 25th in the NFL.

A leading cause for the offensive line’s success was its consistent

health and continuity. St. Louis’ five opening day starters on the

offensive line combined to miss just one start in 2010.

LB James Laurinaitis led all NFL rookie linebackers in tackles in 2009,and he followed up his stellar rookie campaign with a strong perfor-

mance in his sophomore NFL season. Laurinaitis led St. Louis with129 stops last season and became the first Ram since Pisa Tinoisoma

to record 100 tackles in each of his first two seasons.

Laurinaitis rarely came off the field as he played in a team-high 1,093

snaps in 2010, and his ability to help in the passing game was a hugeasset for the Rams. The former Ohio State Buckeye had seven passes

defensed, one interception and three sacks on the year. Among Rams,only starting cornerbacks Ron Bartell (13) and Bradley Fletcher (12)

had more pass breakups.

On Denver’s final drive in Week 12, the Broncos targeted TE Daniel

Graham deep down the field, but Laurinaitis got a hand in and knockedthe ball loose to help preserve the victory. In Week 8, he ended

Carolina’s opening possession with an interception.

MAN IN THE MIDDLE

Linebacker James Laurinaitis enjoyed another productive season as he led the Rams in tackles and made numerous plays in the passing game while rarely leaving the field.

DE James Hall’s 11th NFL season was one of his best for the vet-

eran leader of St. Louis’ defense. He led the team with 10.5 sacks

on the year and has also recorded 57 tackles, including two for loss.

Hall also led the Rams and tied for second in the NFL with six forced

fumbles in 2010.

In the Rams’ Week 16 win over San Francisco, Hall recorded 2.0

sacks in a game for the third time last season. His other two came in

Week 4 against Seattle and Week 6 versus San Diego.

Hall now has 57.0 career sacks. His 10.5 sacks was his second-highest single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). He finished

the season ranked ninth in the NFC in sacks.

A HAL L OF A PLAYER

DE James Hall had 10.5 sacks in 2010, which was his second-best season total of his 11-year career. He’s seen here sacking Donovan McNabb in Week 3.

Both offensively and defensively, the

Rams were among the league’s best last

season when it came to short yardage

situations.

On offense, St. Louis converted an 80.8

percent of its 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1

opportunities, the second highest mark

in the NFL. The league average was65.8 percent.

Defensively, the Rams allowed oppo-

nents to convert just 53.8 percent of

such situations, third best in the NFL and

well above the league average of 65.8 percent.

SHORT YARDAGE SUCCESS

DT Fred Robbins

Defensively, the Rams were among

the most improved teams in the NFL in

2010.

St. Louis finished in the top 10 inthe league in sacks (7th), third down

defense (2nd) and total touchdowns

allowed (4t). In addition, the Rams

experienced significant increases

over 2009 in several key areas. St.

Louis ranked 12th in points per game

allowed (20.5) after finishing 31st a

year earlier (27.3). In all, the Rams

allowed 108 fewer points in 2010 than

they did in 2009.

The Rams improved 10 spots in total defense as they ranked 19t

2010 after finishing 29th in ‘09, and they ranked 17th against the

(113.1 yards per game), compared to 27th in 2009 (137.6).

MARKED IMPROVEMENT

Defensive Coordinator Ken Flajole

The Rams defense showed vastimprovement in several areas last sea-son, and one of the biggest statistical

jumps St. Louis made came in opponentpasser rating.

After finishing 31st in the NFL in 2009 asopposing passers posted a 96.9 ratingagainst the Rams, Steve Spagnuolo’sgroup was 9th in the league in the cat-egory in 2010. Opponents’ passer rating

against St. Louis was 80.4.

The drop off came in large part to a passrush that finished seventh in the NFL in sacks. Also, only six teaallowed fewer touchdown passes than the Rams last season, whhad a big impact on opponents’ ratings.

league to lead his team in punt return, kick return, and receivi

yardage.

Amendola’s 85 catches this season ranked 13th in Rams histo

for a single season. He’s caught at least one pass in every gam

since joining the Rams in Week 2 of the 2009 season, a streak

30 consecutive games with a reception.

DE Chris Long enjoyed a breakoutseason in 2010, his third NFL cam-paign.

Long posted a career-high 8.5 sackson the season and recorded at least1.0 sack in seven of his last 11games. Additionally, he led the Ramswith 16 quarterback hits and 21 pres-sures.

In Week 16, he dropped Alex Smithand forced a fumble that FredRobbins recovered to end a fourthquarter drive. In Week 12 in Denver,

his relentless effort on the game’s finaldrive helped the Rams hold on to a victory. With St. Louis clinging toa three-point lead in the final minute of Sunday’s game, Long sackedKyle Orton on second down and pressured him into an errant throwon fourth down.

In Week 6 against San Diego, Long turned in his first two-sack per-formance of the season and his second of his career. For his efforts,Long was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

LONG ON TALENT

DE Chris Long

DANDY DANNY

WR/PR Danny Amendola gave the Rams a boost on offense and in the kicking game in 2010. 85-catch performance this season was one of the best in team history.

One of the biggest moves the Rams made last offseason was theacquisition of veteran DT Fred Robbins, and the addition of the 11thyear pro quickly paid dividends.

Robbins set a new career high with 6.0 sacks on the season andhad a big impact on the Rams defense. He held off blockers to allowJames Laurinaitis to run free, and his pass rush acumen drew theattention of opposing offenses and helped his defensive line mates.

In Week 6, Robbins had a sack and three quarterback hits in theRams’ win over San Diego, and following the win, teammate ChrisLong said the inside push Robbins provided helped Long enjoy atwo-sack day that led to Long being named NFC Defensive Player

of the Week.

On the season, Robbins had 24 total tackles, including four for loss,eight quarterback hits and seven passes defensed. He’s a big reasonwhy the Rams saw a big improvement against the run and on thirddown.

Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YorkGiants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo was theGiants’ defensive coordinator. It’s no coincidence that those twocampaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins’ career as he tied hisprevious career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and wasa Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New York’s runto their Super Bowl XLII championship.

A BI G ADDITION

Rams DT Fred Robbins drops Seattle RB Justin Forsett for a loss. After joining St. Louis as a free agent last spring, Robbins made a big impact on a much-improved Rams defense in 2010.

Midway through the season, Rams RBSteven Jackson and K Josh Brown showedup to practice wearing blue t-shirts thatread, “Vote Don Jones for Pro Bowl 2010.”The shirts were special ordered by team-mate Hank Fraley as Rams players voicedtheir opinion on which punter should repre-sent the NFC in Hawaii.

Jones was eventually named an alternate

to the All-Star game after another strongseason. He finished eighth in the NFL andfourth in the NFC with a gross puntingaverage of 45.5 yards per kick. He alsoranked third in the NFL and second in the NFC in net punting avage (40.0).

Jones’ specialty is pinning opponents deep in their own territory.tied for fifth in the NFL with 32 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yline last season.

In Week 10 in San Francisco, Jones turned in perhaps his mimpressive single game performance of his career. He puntedtimes for a 43.7 average and didn’t allow a single punt to be returnmaking him the only punter in the NFL last season to produce a ga

with 0 return yards on nine or more punts.

The Rams signed Jones as a restricted free agent prior to the 2season, and during his time in St. Louis, Jones ranks second amNFL punters in gross and net average.

K Josh Brown is among the NFL’s best

when it comes to kicking from long dis-

tance.

Last week, Brown hit a 60-yard kick on

the last play of the first half, which would

have set new personal and team records

had it come in the regular season. Brown’s

career long is 58 yards, while Jeff Wilkins

holds the Rams record of 57.

Brown hit six field goals of 50-plus yards in

2008 and 2009, tying the team record for

most field goals from 50-plus in a season. His 2008 and ‘09 seasons

are tied with Tony Zendejas for most 50-yard field goals in a season

in team history.

Brown now ranks sixth in NFL history in successful field goal tries

from 50 yards or more. Of the five players who rank ahead of Brown

- Jason Hanson (45), Morten Andersen (40), John Kasay (40), Jason

Elam (39) and Sebastian Janikowski (29) - all but Janikowski played

at least nine more seasons than Brown. Janikowski entered the

NFL three seasons before Brown.

Since entering the NFL in 2003, Brown has made 28 field goals from50-plus yards, most among active kickers during that time. His 68.3

percentage on field goals of 50 yards or more is second best since

‘03.

Brown set a new career high with 33 field goals made in 2010,

passing his previous best of 31 in 2008. Brown scored 125 points

as well, third best in the NFC and sixth in the NFL among kickers.

WR Danny Amendola led the Rams in

receiving in 2010, and his versatility also

served St. Louis well in the return game.

Amendola averaged 11.3 yards per punt

return last season, sixth best in the NFC

and 12th best in the NFL.

He gave the Rams a big-play boost

and helped the club gain advantageous

field position. Amendola had seven punt

returns of 20 yards or more last season,

second only to Chicago’s Devin Hester,

who finished the year with nine.

In just two seasons, Amendola ranks fourth in Rams history in ki

off return yards (2,760), ninth in punt return yards (812) and third

combined return yards (3,572).

In 2009, CB Bradley Fletcher’s rookie

season was off to a bang before a torn

ACL and LCL ended it seven games in.

After an exhaustive offseason of rehab,

Fletcher bounced back and earned the

starting right cornerback job in 2010.

Fletcher led the Rams with four intercep-

tions, finished third on the club in tackles(91) and second in passes defensed (12).

Fletcher’s road back wasn’t an easy one.

He underwent an operation to reconstruct

his LCL. After rehabbing from his first surgery, he again went under

the knife, this time to repair and reconstruct his ACL. Still, Fletcher

made it back to the field for the start of 2010 training camp and was a

huge asset to the Rams. For his efforts, Fletcher’s teammates named

him the club’s Ed Block Courage Award winner.

Last April, the Rams were thrilled to find

Indiana T Rodger Saffold available at the

top of the second round. St. Louis chose

Saffold with the 33rd overall pick and

quickly inserted him in the starting lineup.

Saffold started all 16 games in 2010,

making the former Hoosier the only

rookie left tackle to start every game

for his team last season. According to

Statspass.com, Saffold allowed only 3.5sacks all season while playing for a

team that tied for the fifth most passing

attempts.

Saffold was the fifth offensive tackle and seventh offensive lineman

taken in the 2010 draft.

C Jason Brown has anchored the

contests, which is the sixth-longest

ongest active streak among NFL cen-

ters. Brown hasn’t missed a start since

entering the Ravens’ starting lineup in

2006, his second NFL season.

During his career, Brown has blocked

for three different 1,000-yard rush-

ers: Steven Jackson (1,416 in 2009

and 1,241 in 2010), Jamal Lewis (1,132 in 2006) and Willis

McGahee (1,207 in 2007). Brown was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2009.

The Edward Jones Dome was kind to the Rams last season as team enjoyed a “dome field advantage” that helped St. Louis fiwith a 5-3 record at home in 2010.

Opponents averaged just 17.6 points per game at the Edward JoDome, giving the Rams’ defense the eighth best total in the NFhome last season. St. Louis held its opponents to 17 points or in six of its eight home games last season, including each of the five.

Of the Rams’ 43 sacks last season, 24 came with the help of t

home crowd, tied for the fourth best total in the NFL.

DOME FIELD ADVANTAGE

Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo celebrates a home victory with his team.

When Steve Spagnuolo went in search of a new offensive coord

tor this spring, his mind immediately went to a man whom Spagn

found among the most difficult in the NFL to game plan aga

That led to the hiring of Josh McDaniels, who matched wits aga

Spagnuolo in Super Bowl XLII when Spagnuolo and the Gia

defeated McDaniels’ Patriots.

Wherever McDaniels has been, his offense has produced. Du

McDaniels’ first season in Denver, QB Kyle Orton set career highspass attempts, completions, passing yards, touchdown passes

passer rating while tying his career low for interceptions.

In 2010, the Broncos ranked seventh in the NFL in passing yaper game and finished 13th in total yards per game. WR Bran

Lloyd led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,448 and finished sec

in the AFC with 11 touchdown catches en route to his first Pro Binvitation.

Under McDaniels’ tutelage, 2007 NFL MVP Tom Brady broke

NFL record for touchdown passes in a season (50) and led

league in both passing yards (4,806) and passer rating (117Brady also set franchise marks in nearly every major passing

egory, while WR Wes Welker set the franchise record for receptiin a season (112) and WR Randy Moss broke the NFL record

Bell played his first four seasons

of his career in Tennessee beforesigning with the Rams prior to the

While in Nashville, Bell was tutored by Titans Head Coach MikeMunchak, who coached Tennessee’s offensive line for 14 seasons.

Bell wore number 60 as a Titan but chose 63 when he arrived in

St. Louis. He did so as a tribute to Munchak, who wore the samenumber during his Hall of Fame playing career.
