Record: 3-13 2007 Season: Injuries, Injuries, Injuries. Bulger was in and out, and the loss of Steven Jackson for most of season didn't help. Once upon a time stalwart Orando Pace finally might be done, and unfortunately the defense didn't get any better. Furthmore, aging verterns Holt and Bruce aren't getting any younger. The Rams were hammered by division rival Seahawks, and look horrible most of the other game.
2008 Outlook: Fortunately they play in the NFC West where anything is possible. They also have the 2nd overall pick and Chris Long would look mighty good a Rams uniform. There is also other free agents to be had on defense include Haynesworth (TEN) and the corner market is very strong this year. Bulger and Jackson should be back to full form next year, but the Rams must find someone to protect Bulger. Jordan Gross of Carolina would look mighty good.
2008 Season: I still think the Rams have the pieces to win. Jackson is an all pro and Bulger still has something left in the tank. The defense has always been bad, but what changed was the Rams ability to put up points. Look for this to change in the coming year, and if the O-line is upgraded...watch out.
Projection: 3rd NFC West
