With the WRs not adding much to the offense and the QBs (sacked 13 times this season) not having much time to throw the ball the Rams have been turning to the TE in the passing game. Randy McMichael and Daniel Fells have combined for 27 catches for 293 yards (10.9 avg) with 2 TD grab this season. As long as McMichael and Fells keep catching the football, Marc Bulger and Kyle Boller will keep getting the ball to them.
23-year old WR Danny Amendola was one of the mighty mites at Texas Tech in college at 5′11″, 186 pounds. Because he played at Tech he was pretty much overlooked at draft time. The Rams signed him last week with the idea that he would return all of the kicks. He did a good job for them last week against the Packers. He returned 8 kickoffs for 187 yards (23.4 avg) and 2 punts for 23 yards (11.5 avg) last week. The Rams were so impressed with him that they are considering using him some on offense soon.
Rookie linebacker James Laurinaitis is off to a good start for the Rams. He is leading the team in tackles with 25 and he has one for a loss. Sure the team is giving up 148.0 yards rushing per game this season but it’s not the rookie’s fault as he is playing hard. He has been having to deal with a lot of guards on the second level of the D because the D-Line is not demanding any double teams. To fight through the blocks maybe Laurinaitis should learn some tricks from his dad who was “Animal” from the wresting tag team World Champion Road Warriors.
The Rams need to get the ball in Steven Jackson’s hands as much as possible as he has accounted for 42.1% of the teams offensive yards. He has carried the ball 60 times for 288 yards (4.8 ypc) and he has caught 9 passes for 61 yards (6.8 avg). Whether it’s Kyle Boller or Marc Bulger at QB they need to get the ball to Jackson more in the passing game as they are having big time problems at WR this season. Jackson is without a doubt the best player on the offense so the Rams need to get the ball in his hands regardless of the score.
24-year old WR Laurent Robinson is off to a good start for the Rams as he caught 5 passes for 87 yards (17.4 avg) in the season opener against the Seahawks. Robinson has now played in 22 games in his three year NFL career in which he has caught 47 passes for 576 yards (12.3 avg) with 1 TD grab. Robinson and Donnie Avery could wind up being a solid 1-2 punch in the passing game for the Rams this season and beyond.
