THE LAST TIME

Last Meeting

REDSKINS 9 - RAMS 7September 20, 2009 - FedEx Field

The Rams played in their second consecutive road game, trav-

eling to take on NFC East contenders Washington Redskins, los-

ing 9-7.

QB Marc Bulger became the Rams all-time leader in pass com-

pletions with 1,848 on a 3-yard pass to RB Steven Jackson in thefirst quarter. Bulger surpassed QB Jim Everetts 1,847 pass

completions, tallied from 1986-93. Bulger completed 15 passes

in the game to give him 1,861 for his career. Bulgers 2-yard

touchdown pass to WR Laurent Robinson in the second quarter

gave Bulger his 118th career touchdown pass, tying him with

Norm Van Brocklin (1949-57) for third all-time in Rams history.

RB Steven Jackson rushed for 104 yards on 17 carries. The

100-yard game was Jacksons 17th of his career. With the per-

formance, Jackson has 5,462 career rushing yards, surpassing

RB Dick Bass (5,417) for fourth all-time in Rams history.

Jacksons 58-yard run in the second quarter was the second

longest of his career, behind only his 59-yard touchdown run at

Minnesota (12/31/06).

In the first half of play, the Redskins were forced to kick two field

goals after the Rams defense held them in the red zone. In the

second quarter, the Rams engineered their first scoring drive of

the season, scoring on a touchdown pass to WR Laurent

Robinson to cap a 10-play, 84 yard drive and marking

Robinsons first touchdown as a Ram. The 84-yard scoring drive

was the Rams longest scoring drive since an 18-play, 97-yard

drive that resulted in a touchdown vs. Seattle (12/14/08).

The Rams recorded their second consecutive game with a take-

away as CB Ron Bartell recovered a fumble by Redskins WR

Santana Moss in the second quarter. DE James Hall started at

right defensive end and recorded the Rams first sack of the sea-

son, a takedown of Redskins QB Jason Campbell for a 4-yard

loss that pinned the Redskins on their own 1-yard line in the

fourth quarter. However, the Redskins managed a third field

goal in the third quarter to put them on top for good, 9-7.

DE James Halls sack of Jason Campbell at the Redskins 1-yard line gave the

Rams a chance to take a fourth-quarter lead last September but St. Louis fell short.

After rushing for 75 yards last week at

Oakland, RB Steven Jackson now boasts

6,863 career rushing yards, third most in

team history.

Jacksons 6,863 career rushing yards

place him behind only Eric Dickerson

(7,245 yards, 1983-87) and Marshall Faulk

(6,959 yards, 1999-2005) in Rams history.Jackson needs 97 yards to pass Faulk for

second in franchise history and 383 yards

to pass Dickerson for first.

Jackson entered last season as the Rams fifth-leading rusher, as his

1,416-yard campaign in 2009 allowed him to pass Dick Bass for fifth

place and later move ahead of Lawrence McCutcheon into third.

back in Rams history to record five consecutive 1,000-yard rus

seasons. He surpassed the previous team record of four cons

tive seasons set by Hall of Fame RB Eric Dickerson from 1983-

In 2009, Jackson posted 1,416 rushing yards, the second-hig

single-season total of his career. The 1,416 rushing yards ran

the sixth-best single-season performance in team history.

JACK OF ALL TRADES

RB Steven Jackson

Two weeks ago, Sam Bradford became the first rookie to start atquarterback in Week 1 for the Rams since Bill Munson did so in1964. The top overall pick in Aprils draft won the starting job intraining camp and has impressed the Rams in his first two starts.

Here are some highlights from Bradfords rookie season:

Bradfords first career pass went for a 19-yard completion to WRMark Clayton, a fellow Oklahoma alum who was also making hisRams debut.

Bradfords first career touchdown pass was a one-yard strike to WRLaurent Robinson on 4th-and-goal on the final play of the first half.

The 2008 Heisman Trophy winner turned in his first multi-touch-down game of his career when he threw two scoring strikes lastweek against the Raiders. Both touchdown passes went to Clayton.

Bradfords 55 attempts and 32 completions in the season openerare the most ever by an NFL quarterback making his first career

start.

BRADFORDS BEGINNING

Quarterback Sam Bradford is the

ninth Heisman Trophy winner to

either play for the Rams or be draft-

ed by the organization. Bradford

won the award following the 2008

season, one in which he passed for

4,720 yards and 50 touchdowns

with just eight interceptions.

In April, Bradford became the 14th

Heisman Trophy winner drafted

number one overall and the first

since Cincinnati Bengals took

Carson Palmer with the top pick in

2003.

Heres a look at each of the nine

Heisman Trophy winners affiliated with the Rams.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN 2010

RB Steven Jackson is within striking range of becoming the Rams

all-time leading rusher. Jackson needs just 97 yards to move intosecond place ahead of Marshall Faulk, and with 383 yards, Jackson

will supplant Eric Dickerson as the franchises all-time leader. In his

first six NFL seasons, Jackson averaged 1,117.8 rushing yards per

season.

Jackson currently ranks fifth in team history in career yards from

scrimmage. He needs 611 yards to move past Henry Ellard on thatlist.

Jackson caught four passes in Week 2 to run his career total to

289 career receptions. He ranks ninth in team history in receptions,48 behind Jim Phillips, who currently ranks eighth.

Should Jackson lead the Rams in rushing, hell tie Faulks record

for most seasons and most consecutive seasons leading the club in

rushing (six). S Oshiomogho Atogwe enters the season with 19 career inter-

ceptions. He needs seven to move into a tie for 10th on the fran-

chises all-time list.

LB James Laurinaitis can join Pisa Tinoisamoa as the only play-

ers in team history to lead the Rams in tackles in each of their first

two NFL season.

P Donnie Jones looks to record a net average of at least 40 yardsper punt for a third-consecutive season. In both 2008 and 2009,

Jones net average was 41.7 yards per punt. Jones is currently

second in the NFL with a gross average of 49.5 yards per punt.

ON THE MARK

WR Mark Clayton has made quite a

splash since joining the Rams just two

weeks ago.

Last week in Oakland, Clayton caught

two passes, both of which went for

touchdowns. It was his second two-touchdown performance of his career

and first since Nov. 12, 2006 - his sec-

ond NFL season - when he found the

end zone twice against Tennessee.

In his Rams debut Week 1 against the

Cardinals, Clayton led the Rams with 10

catches for 119 yards. The impressive outing came just six da

after he was acquired in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens. His 1

receiving yards were the most ever by a player making their Ra

debut.

Claytons 10 receptions in Week 1 set a new single-game high

the sixth-year pro, besting his previous total of eight, which

reached three different times while with Baltimore. Five of Clayto

10 catches went for first downs, and his 36-yard grab set up Q

Sam Bradfords first career touchdown pass.

Clayton boasts 10 career games with 100 receiving yards and

Rams debut and was his fifth-highest single-game total.

On the season, Clayton leads the Rams in receptions (12), rece

ing yards (143) and touchdowns (2).

BLOCK PARTYLast 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 has started each of the Rams first

two games, and the former Hoosier is one

of just two NFL rookies to start a game at

left tackle this season. Washingtons Trent

Williams, the fourth overall selection in

Aprils draft, was the other, and his team

visits the Edward Jones Dome this week.

WR Mark Clayton

T Rodger Saffold

DANDY DANNY

In his first NFL season, WR Danny Amendola became the Rams

season record holder for kickoff returns, kickoff return yards, com-

bined kick returns and total return yards.

Amendola continues to have an impact on special teams but has

become a big part of the offense as well. In the Rams season

opener, the Texas Tech alum finished second on the team with six

catches and set a new single-game career high with 67 yards. He

followed that performance up with a four-catch, 39-yard outing

against the Raiders and has 10 grabs for 106 yards on the season.

WR/PR Danny Amendola has given the Rams a boost on offense and in the kicking game.

KROENKE TAKES THE REINS

On August 25, E. Stanley Kroenke became the majority owner othe St. Louis Rams when National Football League owners unanmously voted to approve his bid to purchase the organization.Kroenke is the seventh majority owner in the teams 73-year histry.

Prior to becoming the majority owner of the Rams, Kroenke wasthe minority owner of the team. He was vital in the effort to bringprofessional football back to St. Louis in 1995. With his real estadevelopment expertise, Kroenke was instrumental in the buildingof Rams Park, now known as the Russell Training Center.

Kroenke currently is the owner of the Colorado Avalanche (NHL)Denver Nuggets (NBA), the Colorado Rapids (MLS) and theColorado Mammoth (NLL). He is also the largest shareholder of

Arsenal FC of the English Premier League.

man and owner of The Kroenke Group, a private real estateinvestment and development company with offices throughout thUnited States and Canada, with headquarters in Columbia, Mo.Kroenke is one of the nations leading developers of shopping ceters and commercial real estate.

Rams P Donnie Jones was a Pro Bowl

alternate in 2009 and is trying to make an

early case for a postseason trip to Hawaii

this season.

Through two weeks, Jones is second in

the NFL and first in the NFC with a gross

punting average of 49.5 yards per kick. He

also ranks seventh in the NFL in net punt-

ing average (41.5), which is fourth best in

the NFC.

Former All-Pro safety Nolan Cromwell (21) spent 11 seasons patrolling the Rams defensive second-

ary and now returns to the organization to coach the clubs wide receivers.

ROLLIN WITH NOLAN

The Rams have just one new member

on their coaching staff this season, but

the new face is a very familiar one to the

organization. In February, Steve

Spagnuolo hired former Rams All-Pro

safety Nolan Cromwell to coach the

clubs wide receivers.

A second-round draft choice by the

Rams, Cromwell played his entire 11-

year NFL career (1977-87) for the Rams'organization. He earned Pro Bowl honors

four times, was named NFC Defensive

Player of the Year in 1980, and was

named NFL Defensive Back of the Year by Football Digest in 1984.

He ended his NFL career as the Rams all-time leader in intercep-

tion return yardage with 671 yards on 37 interceptions. He played

in Super Bowl XIV against the Steelers after the 1979 season.

Cromwells coaching tenure has lead him to three Super Bowls and

four NFC West Division titles. During his time at Green Bay,

Cromwell helped Pro Bowler Antonio Freeman lead the NFL in

1998 with 1,424 receiving yards on 84 catches.

Nolan Cromwell

One of the biggest moves the Rams made this offseason wasacquisition of veteran DT Fred Robbins, and the addition of the year pro has paid early dividents.

In his Rams debut, Robbins recorded three tackles, one tackleloss and a sack. Last week in Oakland, Robbins dropped RB DaMcFadden for a 3-yard loss on a third-and-1 play that forced Raiders to attempt a long field goal, which they missed.

Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YGiants. During two of those seasons, current Rams Head CoSteve Spagnuolo was the Giants defensive coordinator. Its no ccidence that those two campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbcareer as he tied his career high with 5.5 sacks in each of those ssons and was a Pro Bowl Alternate in 2008. He played a key rol

BEST AMONG ROOKIE BACKERS

In June, Rams S Oshiomogho O.J.

Atogwe signed a long-term extension with

the Rams that will keep him in St. Louis for

the foreseeable future. That deal came

because hes shown a knack for making

big plays in his career. Since becoming a

full-time starter in 2006, Atogwe has 39

combined forced fumbles and intercep-

tions (20 forced fumbles, 19 interceptions),

most in the NFL during that time.

Atogwe has 19 career interceptions and 15

since the start of 2007. Atogwes 15 inter-

ceptions are the fifth-most in the NFL during that time, trailing

Green Bay CB Charles Woodsons 20, Baltimore S Ed Reeds

Philadelphia CB Asante Samuels 19 and Jets CB Ant

Cromarties 17.

His playmaking ability was on full display in Week 1 against

Cardinals. After Arizona had driven deep inside Rams territory

In 2009, CB Bradley Fletchers rookie sea-son was off to a bang before a torn ACLended it seven games in. After an exhaus-tive offseason of rehab, Fletcher is backand earned the starting right cornerback

job this season.

Last week in Oakland, Fletcher tied hiscareer high with six solo tackles. In Week1, he delivered his first career fumblerecovery when he scooped a loose ballthat S Oshiomogho Atogwe had knockedfree and returned the fumble 43 yards.

The Rams have a

bit of an anomaly

at the linebacker

p os i t io n . S t .

Louis currently

has three line-

backers on its ros-

ter that played at

Ohio State, and the trio make up the start-

ing linebacker unit.

James Laurinaitis, who led the Rams in

tackles as a rookie last season, mans the

middle. The Rams signed veteran Nail

Diggs as a free agent this spring and he

starts at the Sam linebacker spot. Diggs

spent the previous four years with the

Carolina Panther. A third former Buckeye,

Larry Grant, won the starting Will spot this

summer. Grant appeared in all 16 games

for the Rams last season and is a valuable

special teams contributor in addition to his

role on defense.

THE RAMS LINEBACKERS

Nail Diggs

James Laurinaitis

Linebacker James Laurinaitis was the fifth linebacker selected in the 2009 NFL Draft but was thleading tackler among those taken on the first day.

LB Larry Grant became a starter for thefirst time this season and has made hispresence felt. Grant, a third-year pro outof Ohio State, recorded four tackles andforced a fumble in Week 1 and added fourtackles last week.

The Rams signed Grant off of SanFranciscos practice squad in 2008. Hesbeen a key contributor on special teamssince arriving in St. Louis and is now get-ting his chance to shine on defense as

well.

NICE START

LB Larry Grant

DE James Hall, a veteran member of the Rams defense, had a big

afternoon last week in Oakland. He registered his first sack of the

season when he dropped Jason Campbell for a 9-yard loss and fin-

ished the day with four tackles and two caused fumbles to go along

with his sack. Hall now has 47.5 sacks in his 11-year career. He

recorded one in the last game against Washington as he sacked

Campbell, who was then the Redskins starter.

In four seasons with the Rams (2007-10), Hall has tallied 14.5 sacks

and has not collected less than 59 tackles in any of his first three sea-

sons.

TIES THAT BIND

Rams DT Fred Robbins gives head coach Steve Spagnuolo a pat on the back during training

camp. Robbins was a member of the New York Giants during Spagnuolos two season as the

clubs defensive coordinator.

The NFL has seen a handful of former col-

lege hoopsters transfer their athleticism tothe gridiron, and Rams tight end Fendi

Onobun looks to do the same.

Onobun, who the Rams selected in the

sixth round of Aprils draft, was a

McDonalds All-American in high school

before enjoying a four-year basketball

career at the University of Arizona. When

his basketball eligibility ran out, he enrolled

at the University of Houston and spent one

season playing football for the Cougars.

Now he hopes to follow in the footsteps of Antonio Gates and T

Gonzalez, both of whom became Pro Bowl tight ends following s

cessful college basketball careers.

HARDWOOD TO GRIDIRON

Fendi Onobun

Last Sunday in Oakland, four Rams rook-

ies made thier NFL debuts as CB Jerome

Murphy, WR Dominique Curry, DE

Eugene Sims and CB Marquis Johnson all

saw their first professional action.

Murphy, the teams third-round draft pick,

made the biggest splash of the group as

he recorded his first career interception.

His fourth quarter pick, which came on a

ball that DE C.J. Ah You deflected at the

line of scrimmage, set up St. Louis sec-

ond touchdown of the afternoon. Sam

Bradfords touchdown pass to Mark

Clayton came less than a minute after Murphys big play and

Oaklands lead to 16-14.

In addition to Murphys big play, Sims recorded two tackles, C

notched two special teams stops, and Johnson saw action
