While proud of his statistical accomplish-
ments, Bradford has always maintained
that the win-loss column is really the only
item he’s 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
to a 7-9 record.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pre2-vs-ten 8/17
Turnovers can often tell the story in
the NFL, and they certainly painted a
big portion of the picture for the 2010
Rams.
St. Louis was 6-1 last season when
they won the turnover battle. St. Louis
committed just 21 turnovers this sea-
son, tied for 8th fewest in the NFL.
The Rams committed 33 in 2009.
The Rams were aided by superb ball
protection from their player who han-
dles it most often. When RB Steven
Jackson lost a fumble in Week 14 in
New Orleans, it was his first lost fum-
ble in 562 touches. He’s lost just 14 fumbles in 2,205 career touches.
As a team, St. Louis lost just six fumbles in 2010, tied for the second
fewest in the NFL on the year.
TURN OVER STORY
QB Sam Bradford and C Jason Brown
Last season, the Rams’ offense made great strides in the m
important statistical category, which led to the team winning six m
games than it did in 2009.
Although St. Louis had no significant changes at the wide recei
tight end and running back positions, the Rams scored 114 m
points in 2010 than they did in 2009, an increase of 7.2 points
game.
The jump was a significant one for St. Louis. Among NFL teams,
Oakland experienced a greater increase in points scored in 2010

OFFENSE ON THE RISE
One year removed from allowing 44
sacks, the Rams kept their quarter-back upright at a much better rate in
2010.
Sam Bradford was dropped by oppo-
nents just 34 times last season. The
10-sack decrease was the sixth-best
improvement in the NFL over 2009
team totals.
Making the single-year improvement
more impressive is the fact that the
team accomplished the feat with
both a rookie quarterback and rookie
left tackle in Rodger Saffold. Theteam’s starting right tackle, second-
year pro Jason Smith, entered the season with just five career
starts under his belt.
No team in the NFL had fewer combined starts at the right tackle,
left tackle and quarterback position than the Rams did going into
2010, yet St. Louis still enjoyed an increase of 7.2 points per game
offensively.
The Rams finished the season ranked 12th in the NFL in sacks per
pass play at 5.76 percent, a dramatic improvement over their 8.1
rate in 2009, which ranked 25th in the NFL.
A leading cause for the offensive line’s success was its consistent
health and continuity. St. Louis’ five opening day starters on the
offensive line combined to miss just one start in 2010.

LB James Laurinaitis led all NFL rookie linebackers in tackles in 2009,and he followed up his stellar rookie campaign with a strong perfor-
mance in his sophomore NFL season. Laurinaitis led St. Louis with129 stops last season and became the first Ram since Pisa Tinoisoma
to record 100 tackles in each of his first two seasons.
Laurinaitis rarely came off the field as he played in a team-high 1,093
snaps in 2010, and his ability to help in the passing game was a hugeasset for the Rams. The former Ohio State Buckeye had seven passes
defensed, one interception and three sacks on the year. Among Rams,only starting cornerbacks Ron Bartell (13) and Bradley Fletcher (12)
had more pass breakups.
On Denver’s final drive in Week 12, the Broncos targeted TE Daniel
Graham deep down the field, but Laurinaitis got a hand in and knockedthe ball loose to help preserve the victory. In Week 8, he ended
Carolina’s opening possession with an interception.
MAN IN THE MIDDLE
Linebacker James Laurinaitis enjoyed another productive season as he led the Rams in tackles and made numerous plays in the passing game while rarely leaving the field.
DE James Hall’s 11th NFL season was one of his best for the vet-
eran leader of St. Louis’ defense. He led the team with 10.5 sacks
on the year and has also recorded 57 tackles, including two for loss.
Hall also led the Rams and tied for second in the NFL with six forced
fumbles in 2010.
In the Rams’ Week 16 win over San Francisco, Hall recorded 2.0
sacks in a game for the third time last season. His other two came in
Week 4 against Seattle and Week 6 versus San Diego.
Hall now has 57.0 career sacks. His 10.5 sacks was his second-highest single season total of his career (11.5 in 2004). He finished
the 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-year career. He’s seen here sacking Donovan McNabb in Week 3.
Both offensively and defensively, the
Rams were among the league’s best last
season when it came to short yardage
situations.
On offense, St. Louis converted an 80.8
percent of its 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1
opportunities, the second highest mark
in the NFL. The league average was65.8 percent.
Defensively, the Rams allowed oppo-
nents to convert just 53.8 percent of
such situations, third best in the NFL and
well above the league average of 65.8 percent.
SHORT YARDAGE SUCCESS
DT Fred Robbins
Defensively, the Rams were among
the most improved teams in the NFL in
2010.
St. Louis finished in the top 10 inthe league in sacks (7th), third down
defense (2nd) and total touchdowns
allowed (4t). In addition, the Rams
experienced significant increases
over 2009 in several key areas. St.
Louis ranked 12th in points per game
allowed (20.5) after finishing 31st a
year earlier (27.3). In all, the Rams
allowed 108 fewer points in 2010 than
they did in 2009.
The Rams improved 10 spots in total defense as they ranked 19t
2010 after finishing 29th in ‘09, and they ranked 17th against the
(113.1 yards per game), compared to 27th in 2009 (137.6).
MARKED IMPROVEMENT
Defensive Coordinator Ken Flajole
The Rams defense showed vastimprovement in several areas last sea-son, and one of the biggest statistical
jumps St. Louis made came in opponentpasser rating.
After finishing 31st in the NFL in 2009 asopposing passers posted a 96.9 ratingagainst the Rams, Steve Spagnuolo’sgroup was 9th in the league in the cat-egory in 2010. Opponents’ passer rating
against St. Louis was 80.4.
The drop off came in large part to a passrush that finished seventh in the NFL in sacks. Also, only six teaallowed fewer touchdown passes than the Rams last season, whhad a big impact on opponents’ ratings.

In Week 16, he dropped Alex Smithand forced a fumble that FredRobbins recovered to end a fourthquarter drive. In Week 12 in Denver,
his relentless effort on the game’s finaldrive helped the Rams hold on to a victory. With St. Louis clinging toa three-point lead in the final minute of Sunday’s game, Long sackedKyle Orton on second down and pressured him into an errant throwon fourth down.
In Week 6 against San Diego, Long turned in his first two-sack per-formance of the season and his second of his career. For his efforts,Long was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week.
LONG ON TALENT
DE Chris Long
DANDY DANNY
WR/PR Danny Amendola gave the Rams a boost on offense and in the kicking game in 2010. 85-catch performance this season was one of the best in team history.
One of the biggest moves the Rams made last offseason was theacquisition of veteran DT Fred Robbins, and the addition of the 11thyear pro quickly paid dividends.
Robbins set a new career high with 6.0 sacks on the season andhad a big impact on the Rams defense. He held off blockers to allowJames Laurinaitis to run free, and his pass rush acumen drew theattention of opposing offenses and helped his defensive line mates.
In Week 6, Robbins had a sack and three quarterback hits in theRams’ win over San Diego, and following the win, teammate ChrisLong said the inside push Robbins provided helped Long enjoy atwo-sack day that led to Long being named NFC Defensive Player
of the Week.
On the season, Robbins had 24 total tackles, including four for loss,eight quarterback hits and seven passes defensed. He’s a big reasonwhy the Rams saw a big improvement against the run and on thirddown.
Robbins came to the Rams after six seasons with the New YorkGiants. During two of those seasons, Steve Spagnuolo was theGiants’ defensive coordinator. It’s no coincidence that those twocampaigns were perhaps the best of Robbins’ career as he tied hisprevious career high in sacks (5.5) in each of those seasons and wasa Pro Bowl alternate in 2008. He played a key role in New York’s runto their Super Bowl XLII championship.

Midway through the season, Rams RBSteven Jackson and K Josh Brown showedup to practice wearing blue t-shirts thatread, “Vote Don Jones for Pro Bowl 2010.”The shirts were special ordered by team-mate Hank Fraley as Rams players voicedtheir opinion on which punter should repre-sent the NFC in Hawaii.
Jones was eventually named an alternate
to the All-Star game after another strongseason. He finished eighth in the NFL andfourth in the NFC with a gross puntingaverage of 45.5 yards per kick. He alsoranked third in the NFL and second in the NFC in net punting avage (40.0).
Jones’ specialty is pinning opponents deep in their own territory.tied for fifth in the NFL with 32 punts inside the opponents’ 20-yline last season.
In Week 10 in San Francisco, Jones turned in perhaps his mimpressive single game performance of his career. He puntedtimes for a 43.7 average and didn’t allow a single punt to be returnmaking him the only punter in the NFL last season to produce a ga
with 0 return yards on nine or more punts.
The Rams signed Jones as a restricted free agent prior to the 2season, and during his time in St. Louis, Jones ranks second amNFL punters in gross and net average.

K Josh Brown is among the NFL’s best
when it comes to kicking from long dis-
tance.
Last week, Brown hit a 60-yard kick on
the last play of the first half, which would
have set new personal and team records
had it come in the regular season. Brown’s
career long is 58 yards, while Jeff Wilkins
holds the Rams record of 57.
Brown hit six field goals of 50-plus yards in
2008 and 2009, tying the team record for
most field goals from 50-plus in a season. His 2008 and ‘09 seasons
are tied with Tony Zendejas for most 50-yard field goals in a season
in team history.
Brown now ranks sixth in NFL history in successful field goal tries
from 50 yards or more. Of the five players who rank ahead of Brown
- Jason Hanson (45), Morten Andersen (40), John Kasay (40), Jason
Elam (39) and Sebastian Janikowski (29) - all but Janikowski played
at least nine more seasons than Brown. Janikowski entered the
NFL three seasons before Brown.
Since entering the NFL in 2003, Brown has made 28 field goals from50-plus yards, most among active kickers during that time. His 68.3
percentage on field goals of 50 yards or more is second best since
‘03.

Brown set a new career high with 33 field goals made in 2010,
passing his previous best of 31 in 2008. Brown scored 125 points
as well, third best in the NFC and sixth in the NFL among kickers.

WR Danny Amendola led the Rams in
receiving in 2010, and his versatility also
served St. Louis well in the return game.
Amendola averaged 11.3 yards per punt
return last season, sixth best in the NFC
and 12th best in the NFL.
He gave the Rams a big-play boost
and helped the club gain advantageous
field position. Amendola had seven punt
returns of 20 yards or more last season,
second only to Chicago’s Devin Hester,
who finished the year with nine.
In just two seasons, Amendola ranks fourth in Rams history in ki
off return yards (2,760), ninth in punt return yards (812) and third
combined return yards (3,572).

In 2009, CB Bradley Fletcher’s rookie
season was off to a bang before a torn
ACL and LCL ended it seven games in.
After an exhaustive offseason of rehab,
Fletcher bounced back and earned the
starting right cornerback job in 2010.
Fletcher led the Rams with four intercep-
tions, finished third on the club in tackles(91) and second in passes defensed (12).
Fletcher’s road back wasn’t an easy one.
He underwent an operation to reconstruct
his LCL. After rehabbing from his first surgery, he again went under
the knife, this time to repair and reconstruct his ACL. Still, Fletcher
made it back to the field for the start of 2010 training camp and was a
huge asset to the Rams. For his efforts, Fletcher’s teammates named
him the club’s Ed Block Courage Award winner.
