Defensive end James Hall is moving pretty well this week, proving he has largely recovered from his high ankle sprain. He opened the second half by dumping DeDe Dorsey for a loss on the first play from scrimmage.

Then cornerback  Fakhir Brown put the Rams…

The Rams offense failed, again, with Brock Berlin missing an open Isaac Bruce on third down. This is going to be a long, long day for the Rams.

Finally Donnie Jones got his foot into a punt to pin the Bengals back on their…

The Brock Berlin Era is officially underway. Ram Nation rejoice!

Predictably, the game did not get off to a great start for the Rams in Cincinnati.

The first Rams possession ended with a swift three-and-out series, with Berlin failing to connect with Isaac…

Offensive linemen Nick Leckey, Rob Petitti and Mark LaVoir were on Sunday’s inactive list, along with quarterback  Marc Bulger, receiver/returner Brandon Williams, cornerback Eric  Bassey, defensive end Trevor Johnson.

Gus Frerotte can’t throw the ball, but he will serve as the third quarterback.

Gus Frerotte advanced the  Rams with a third-down completion to Drew Bennett, then a second-down pass to Randy McMichael.  But with the…

The Rams offense opened their second half unceremoniously,  exiting the field  with a futile  three-and-out sequence.

Seattle came out of the locker with some better ideas offensively. Passing and running effectively, the quickly moved into the red zone. Worse news for…

The Rams started this quarter by stuffing the Seahawks on a third-and-one play, turning the ball over to the offense again. At this point in the game, Seattle had minus-1 total yards for the game.

Minus-1!

The Seahawks offense  came into this…

Will Witherspoon certainly enjoys blitzing. On the second play from scrimmage, he dumped  Seahawks quarterback  Matt Hasselbeck for a 7-yard loss by coming up the middle.

On third-and-17, Witherspoon attacked from the outside and sacked Hasselbeck for a 9-yard loss. Not a bad…
