The St. Louis Rams fire Scott Linehan

The Rams had no choice but to fire head coach Scott Linehan after the team got out to a 0-4 start this season.  The Rams have been outscored 147-43 so far this season and that just could not be tolerated any longer.  Linehan compiled a 11-25 record (30.6%) in 2+ seasons as the Rams head coach.  The Rams have replaced Linehan with 52-year old Jim Haslett.  Haslett was the Saints’ head coach from 2000-05 and he compiled a 45-51 record (46.9%).  Haslett was also 1-1 in the post season for the Saints.  Haslett is not considered a “interim” head coach so if he can turn things around the job will be his for a while.

The St. Louis Rams had trouble running the football in 2007

The Rams had issues running the football in 2007 and the reasons were two fold.  Injuries along the offensive line and the fact that Steven Jackson missed 4 games hurt the Rams running game.  Steven Jackson played in 12 games (all starts) last season for the Rams and he carried the ball 237 times for 1,002 yards (4.2 ypc) with 5 TD runs and he also caught 38 passes for 271 yards (7.1 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Jackson has now played in 57 games (46 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 971 times for 4,249 yards (4.4 ypc) with 30 TD runs and he also has caught 190 passes for 1,586 yards (8.3 avg) with 6 TD grabs. 

While Steven Jackson was injured, rookie 2nd round pick Brian Leonard took over as the starter.  Leonard played in 16 games (7 starts) and he carried the ball 86 times for 303 yards (3.5 ypc).  He also caught 30 passes for 183 yards (6.1 avg).

Fellow rookie Antonio Pittman was brought in after the Saints let him go.  He played in 11 games and he carried the ball 38 times for 139 yards (3.7 ypc).  Pittman also caught 3 passes for 15 yards (5.0 avg).

Veteran Travis Minor picked up the scraps behind the first three backs.  Minor played in 14 games (0 starts) last season for the Rams and he carried the ball 17 times for 68 yards (4.0 ypc).  Minor also caught 12 passes for 86 yards (7.2 avg).  Minor has now played in 105 games (4 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 294 times for 1,201 yards (4.1 ypc) with 8 TD runs.  Minor has also caught 62 passes for 439 yards (7.1 avg) with 1 TD grab.
