St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Updating a previous report . . .

Steven Jackson took part in most drills today during practice at Rams Park, taking about a third of the snaps with the first team. Jackson missed last Sunday’s game at New England with a strained thigh muscle, and Antonio Pittman started at running back.

Ron Bartell, who missed a couple of series vs. the Patriots with a stinger, was on the field with the first team. Fellow cornerback Tye Hill (knee) also got in some team work and could be ready for Sunday’s game against Arizona. Defensive end Leonard Little (hamstring) and defensive tackle Adam Carriker (ankle) did individual work and took a couple of reps in team drills.

All for now . . .

Is the Rams game soldout against the Cardinals so it will be shown on channel 2?

Steven Jackson Should have tried to play last week. He seems to miss more games due to being “hurt” than any Runnning back in the league. Portis has had an ankle/hip injury for weeks and he has been gutting it out. If your star player is your RB, he better be able to play at least 15 games per season. Jackson seems to miss too many games, I love his production when he does play, but I dont think you can count on him staying healthy. There is a difference between being Hurt, and being injured. Jackson needs to figure this out and realize that if he can get in there and play at 80-90% he should. He is too selfish, and now that he got his pay day I see him missing a lot more games in the future

Will,

When you get a clue you may starting posting again.

Do you really think Steven Jackson went thru his walk thru Sunday morning at Gillette Stadium and then just decided to call in sick to work?

I don’t think so. For players like Jackson it is a life long dream to go play on Sunday, not to mention - against the team of the decade. He tried to give it a go, but he decided it wasn’t worth the risk to further injure. Haslett even said if were the playoffs he would’ve been out there.

I applaud Steven Jackson for not risking further injury and I look forward to going to the ED this Sunday and watching him run over the Cardinals. So far he has missed one game this season, this still keeps him on pace to meet your requirement for RBs to play 15 games in a season.

And I forget that Marshall Faulk NEVER missed a game. It must be all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!

Come this Sunday night, people will be thanking SJ for not playing against the Patriots and getting healthy.

Quote me on that.

In the words of the fearsome foursome “meet at the quarterback” which would be Kurt Warner, if the rams do that and Jackson is Healthy our Team wins. Go Rams, Sorry Kurt thanks for all you have done for the Rams but I hope Leonard Little and his boys tee off on you this weekend.

Will- You’re totally dead on. Jackson has been hurt every year since taking over for Faulk. There is a difference between injured and hurt. Portis has been running his butt off because his team needs him. Jackson is out there running and taking snaps. He is a talented, selfish back that I wish Dallas would have drafted before he fell to us.

Sheriff- You’re a freaking Legend in your own mind. Telling Will to get a clue? You’re the Sheriff of Mayberry and your posts are a joke!

You want to bring it? Bring it.

Will et al….you guys are Looney Tunes regarding S Jax. Since he began his career, he has played in no less than 14 games….except last year when he played in 12 due to a TORN groin muscle. Get yer facts straight so that your opinion has a hint of credibility!

Tye Hill??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Just when things were starting to look good. Mr. Pick reminds me of the little guy swingin’ at the big guy while the big guy has his hand on the little guy’s head, holding him at arms length. After last week, I’d prefer to drop Long into coverage. Damn, that kid can move!!!
