JACK OF ALL TRADES

RB Steven Jackson

Last Sunday, Sam Bradford became the first rookie to start at quar-terback in Week 1 for the Rams since Bill Munson did so in 1964.Here are some notables from Bradfords NFL debut:

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 top overall pick in Aprils draft completed 32-of-55 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown and three interceptions, the final of which came on a Hail Mary pass on the final play of the game.

Bradfords 55 attempts tied the third highest total in team history.The last time a Ram attempted 55 passes in a game was MarcBulger, who did so on Dec. 11, 2006 vs. Chicago.

His 32 completions are the second most by a rookie in team histo-ry.

BRADFORDS BEGINNING

QB Sam Bradford, the top overall pick in Aprils draft, completed 32-of-55 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut last Sunday against the Cardinals.

In April, Bradford became the 14th

Heisman Trophy winner draftednumber one overall and the firstsince Cincinnati Bengals tookCarson Palmer with the top pick in2003.

Heres a look at each of the nineHeisman Trophy winners affiliated with the Rams.

**Cannon was the first overall pick in both the NFL and AFL drafts but chose to signwith the Houston Oilers rather than the Rams.

STRIKING THE POSE

When the Rams chose Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford with the topoverall selection in Aprils draft, it marked the first time since 1967that the organization had drafted a signal caller in the first round.Until Bradfords selection, the Rams were the only NFL team thathadnt used a first-round pick on a quarterback in the common draftera (since 1969).

Bradford came to the Rams with quite an impressive collegeresume. Here are some of his key accomplishments from hiscareer at Oklahoma.

- A 2008 consensus All-American first-team selection, was also therecipient of the Davey O'Brien Award, Sammy Baugh Trophy andChic Harley Award winner.

- Holds school records for passing yards (8,403), touchdown pass-es (88) and completion percentage (67.64).

- Threw for 300 or more yards in 14 games, tying an OU record.

- One of just four quarterbacks in major college history to pass for 50 or more touchdowns in a season (Colt Brennan, David Klingler,B.J. Symons).

-Set an NCAA freshman record with 37 touchdown passes in 2007.

THE BRADFORD FILES

Sam Bradford shortly after accepting the2007 Heisman Trophy.

WHAT THEYRE SAYING ABOUT SAMEverybody sees the accuracy, the size. Honestly, this guy will be one of our hardest workers. Weve got some great workers here already.Hes going to be in that group. Hes got stuff to learn like everybody. Like we said, theres going to be a learning curve. This guy will work.We talk about it often with players, you talk about their ceiling. I believe this guy has got a great ceiling, and whatever that ceiling is, hesgoing achieve it. Through hard work, hes going to do whatever he has to do to achieve that level. Is it greatness, is it pretty good? Wereabout to find out, but whatever it is, hell achieve that ceiling. Rams General Manager Billy Devaney, April 22, 2010

"What's there not to like?" Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "Everyone knows he's a big, tall, strapping guy who has a real strong armand can throw the ball and is very accurate. But I probably like his intangibles more than anything else. He's an intense competitor. No mat-ter what he does if you give him a pingpong paddle, a tennis racket or a golf club he'll be good at it. He's one of those guys who justcompetes and is good at everything he does. He's a natural in a lot of things." - Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo

Sam is special. He is blessed with all of the attributes you like in a quarterback. Hes athletic, smart and mature. We throw words like thosearound pretty easily, but he possesses all of those qualities at an extremely high level. Leadership manifests itself in a number of ways, butfirst and foremost, a leader must have the respect of the team for the way he prepares, plays and conducts himself. Sam earned that kind of

respect very early in his career here. From a playing perspective, I always appreciated his pinpoint accuracy. It was uncanny, and part of the reason he was so accurate was that he understood how to read defenses and find the best throw. Oklahoma Head Coach Bob Stoops

"He sounds too good to be true. I know when I say this, people go, 'Come on, Coach.' But you know what? We shouldn't be talking aboutwhy is this kid so squeaky clean, why is this guy for real. We should be asking, 'Why aren't there more guys like this?'" Bob Wilson,Bradfords coach at Putnam City North High School

In some ways I don't know what was more impressive about Bradford on Friday, what I saw from him on the field, or what I heard abouthim off it. But both of them went a long way toward convincing me the Rams got the right guy at quarterback. In time, with that arm, and thathead, he's going to lead this long downtrodden team to better days. Sports Illustrateds Don Banks following his August 6 visit to St. Louis.

"I think he's a heck of a talent. I really do. I like his demeanor, I like his athleticism, everything about him from what I have seen." Hall of Fame QB and fellow Oklahoman Troy Aikman

WHAT TO WATCH FOR IN 2010

RB Steven Jackson is within striking range of becoming the Ramsall-time leading rusher. Jackson needs just 172 yards to move intosecond place ahead of Marshall Faulk, and with 458 yards, Jacksonwill supplant Eric Dickerson as the franchises all-time leader. In hisfirst six NFL seasons, Jackson averaged 1,117.8 rushing yards per season. Jackson currently ranks ninth in team history in career yards fromscrimmage. He needs 736 yards to move past Henry Ellard on thatlist. Jackson caught four passes in Week 1 to run his career total to

285 career receptions. He ranks ninth in team history in receptions,52 behind Jim Phillips, who currently ranks eighth. Should Jackson lead the Rams in rushing, hell tie Faulks recordfor most seasons and most consecutive seasons leading the club inrushing (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 firsttwo 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.

EARNING A HIGH MARK

WR Mark Clayton made quite a splashin his Rams debut last Sunday. Just sixdays after he was aquired in a trade withthe Baltimore Ravens, Clayton led theRams with 10 catches for 119 yards.

His 10 receptions set a new single-game high for the sixth-year pro, bestinghis previous total of eight, which hereached three different times while withBaltimore. Five of Claytons 10 catcheswent for first downs, and his 36-yardgrab set up QB Sam Bradfords firstcareer touchdown pass.

Last Sunday marked Claytons 10th 100-yard receiving game of hiscareer and was his fifth-highest single-game total. Claytons 119receiving yards were the most ever by a player making their Ramsdebut.

BLOCK PARTYLast April, the Rams were thrilled to findIndiana T Rodger Saffold available at thetop of the second round. St. Louis choseSaffold with the 33rd overall pick andquickly inserted him in the starting lineup.

Saffold started for the Rams last Sundayas they racked up 325 yards of totaloffense against the Cardinals. The for-mer Hoosier was one of just two NFLrookies to start at left tackle last week.Washingtons Trent Williams, the fourthoverall selection in Aprils draft, was the

other.

DANDY DANNY

In his first NFL season, WR Danny Amendola became the Ramsseason 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 hasbecome a big part of the offense as well. In the Rams seasonopener, the former Texas Tech Red Raider finished second on theteam with six catches and set a new single-game career high with67 yards. He hauled in a career-long 36-yard catch on a third-downplay that helped set up St. Louis first score, a 46-yard field goal.

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

Rams wide receiver Laurent Robinsonwas off to a strong start to the 2009 sea-son when an ankle injury ended his thirdNFL campaign just three games into theyear.

In his first regular-season game in morethan 11 months, Robinson was on thereceiving end of Sam Bradfords firstcareer touchdown pass. The score, aone-yard catch, was Robinsons thirdcareer touchdown and his second as aRam. The fourth-year pro caught three

passes for 18 yards against the Cardinals.

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 NOLANThe Rams have just one new member on their coaching staff this season, butthe new face is a very familiar one to theorganization. In February, SteveSpagnuolo hired former Rams All-Prosafety Nolan Cromwell to coach theclubs wide receivers.

A second-round draft choice by theRams, Cromwell played his entire 11-year NFL career (1977-87) for the Rams'organization. He earned Pro Bowl honorsfour times, was named NFC DefensivePlayer of the Year in 1980, and wasnamed 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 playedin Super Bowl XIV against the Steelers after the 1979 season.

Cromwells coaching tenure has lead him to three Super Bowls andfour NFC West Division titles. During his time at Green Bay,Cromwell helped Pro Bowler Antonio Freeman lead the NFL in1998 with 1,424 receiving yards on 84 catches.

Nolan Cromwell

One of the biggest moves the Rams made this offseason was theacquisition of veteran DT Fred Robbins, and the addition of the 11thyear pro has paid early dividents.

In his Rams debut, Robbins recorded three tackles, one tackle for loss and a sack. His 9-yard sack of Cardinals QB Derek Andersoncame on first down of Arizonas second offensive series and helpedthe Rams force the first of five three-and-outs on the afternoon by theCardinals offense.

Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YorkGiants. During two of those seasons, current Rams Head CoachSteve Spagnuolo was the Giants defensive coordinator. Its no coin-cidence that those two campaigns were perhaps the best of Robbinscareer as he tied his career high with 5.5 sacks in each of those sea-sons and was a Pro Bowl Alternate in 2008. He played a key role inNew Yorks run to their Super Bowl XLII championship.

The Rams roster currently features eight players who were previous-ly associated with either Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo, OffensiveCoordinator Pat Shurmur or Defensive Coordinator Ken Flajole prior to coming to St. Louis.

Prior to becoming Rams head coach in 2009, Spagnuolo was theNew York Giants defensive coordinator for two years (2007-08) andspent eight seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he coachedlinebackers and defensive backs. Shurmur was Philadelphias quar-terbacks coach from 2002-08, and before taking over the Ramsdefense, Flajoles most recent job was coaching linebackers with the

Carolina Panthers.Heres a look at the current Rams who previously worked with either Spagnuolo, Shurmur or Flajole.

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 theclubs defensive coordinator, and Robbins says his relationship with his coach was a major reasonhe decided to join the Rams as a free agent this spring.

The NFL has seen a handful of former col-

lege hoopsters transfer their athleticism tothe gridiron, and Rams tight end FendiOnobun looks to do the same.

Onobun, who the Rams selected in thesixth round of Aprils draft, was aMcDonalds All-American in high schoolbefore enjoying a four-year basketballcareer at the University of Arizona. Whenhis basketball eligibility ran out, he enrolledat the University of Houston and spent oneseason playing football for the Cougars.Now he hopes to follow in the footsteps of Antonio Gates and TonyGonzalez, both of whom became Pro Bowl tight ends following suc-

cessful college baseketball careers.
