    Bradford returned to action last week and passed for 255 yards

    against the Arizona Cardinals. Bradford completed 63.9 percent of

    During his standout rookie season, Rams

    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 hes 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

    quarterback drafted number one overall

    since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.

    Bradford took over a team that went 1-15 in 2009 and led the Rams

    S Quintin Mikell, who signed with the

    Rams as a free agent this summer,

    has provided an immediate impact on

    St. Louis defense.

    The nine-year veteran has been a

    part of four takeaways in his first eight

    games in St. Louis.

    Mikell ranks second among Rams with

    50 tackles this season, trailing onlyJames Laurinaitis. He also has one

    sack, one interception and a forced

    fumbles.

    Mikell, who spent his first eight NFL

    seasons with the Eagles, boasts career totals of 5.0 sacks and 11

    interceptions. Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo was Mikells posi-

    tion coach during Mikells first NFL season and in all, the two spent

    four seasons together in Philadelphia.

    WELCOME ABOARD

    S Quintin Mikell celebrates an inter-ception with LB Ben Leber.

    A week after DE Chris Long enjoyed his three-sack game of his career last weehelp the Rams to a victory over the NOrleans Saints, Long got to the quarterbagain last week in Arizona to give himsacks on the season.

    Longs 7.0 sacks are the sixth most in NFL this season.

    Long leads the Rams in sacks (7.0) quarterback hits (8) this season. Hes on

    just six players in the NFL to record 3.more sacks in a game this season.

    In addition to his sack and forced fumLong had three quarterback pressures and one quarterbackagainst the Cardinals.

    According to StatsPass.com, Long was credited with 36 combiquarterback hits and knockdowns last season, which tied Seahawks DE Chris Clemons for the ninth most in the NFL season.

    If you want to find Rams MLB James Laurinaitis on the football fione can often simply follow the ball, because the third-year pro see

    to always be around it.

    Laurinaitis is again the Rams leader in tackles as hes racked

    58 through eight games, and hes proven to be a valuable defen

    against both the run and the pass.

    In Week 8 against New Orleans, Laurinaitis recorded his first sac

    the season. He had an interception in Week 4 against Washing

    and he has five passes defensed on the season. Last year, Laurin

    had seven passes defensed, one interception and three sacks. Am

    Rams, only starting cornerbacks Ron Bartell (13) and Bradley Fletc

    (12) had more pass breakups.

    Laurinaitis rarely comes off the field, and hes played in a team-h

    561 snaps this season.

    MAN IN THE MIDDLE

    Linebacker James Laurinaitis once again finds himself atop the Rams list of leading tacklers.

    The Rams used the 14th overall pick in last

    years draft on a young pass rusher who they

    hoped would help them get after the quarter-

    back, and DE Robert Quinn has shown why

    he was highly coveted in April.

    Last week, Quinn recorded his third sack of

    the season. In Week 8, he blocked a punt

    that led to a Rams touchdown and sacked

    Drew Brees. Quinn was named NFC Special

    Teams Player of the Week for his efforts

    against the Saints.

    On the season, Quinn has 3.0 sacks and eight quarterback hits,

    including sacks in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

    Getting to the quarterback was Quinns specialty in college. As a

    sophomore in 2009 at North Carolina, he was the runner up for

    the ACCs Defensive Player of the Year award as he recorded 11.0

    sacks for the Tar Heels.

    one for loss, and tallied his first career

    interception. The Rams capitalized onGordys takeaway with a Brandon Lloyd

    touchdown catch from A.J. Feeley.

    The Rams signed Gordy to their practice

    squad prior to Week 1 and signed him to

    the active roster in Week 3. Gordy previously spent time with Green

    In his 12th NFL season, DE James Hall continues to be a rock for the

    Rams defense. He recorded his third sack of the season last week

    when he dropped John Skelton for a safety, and he has 24 tackles,

    including two for loss, and eight quarterback hits on the year.

    In 2010, Hall led St. Louis with 10.5 sacks on the year and also

    recorded 57 tackles, including two for loss. Hall also led the Rams

    and tied for second in the NFL with six forced fumbles last season.

    Hall now has 60.0 career sacks. His 10.5 sacks last year was his

    second-highest single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). Hefinished last 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-yearcareer. He has 3.0 this season and leads all Rams defensive linemen in tackles.

    Rams DT Fred Robbins was one of the more unheralded signingthe 2010 free agency period, but his impact has certainly been fethe middle of the St. Louis defense.

    Statistically, Robbins had his best game of the season in Weeagainst New Orleans as he had four tackles, one for loss, and a sin the Rams win. He had three tackles and a pass defensed week in Arizona.

    In his first season in St. Louis, Robbins set a new career high with

    sacks and had a big impact on the Rams defense. He held off bloers to allow James Laurinaitis to run free, and his pass rush acumdrew the attention of opposing offenses and helped his defenline mates.

    Among NFC defensive tackles, only Ndamukong Suh (10) and CuJenkins (7) had more sacks last season than Robbins 6. SaintsSedrick Ellis also had 6.

    Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YGiants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo wasGiants defensive coordinator. Its no coincidence that those campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins career as he tiedprevious career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and a Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New Yorksto their Super Bowl XLII championship.
