[textarea]Dec. 10, 2011 2:20 p.m. - by Ron Clements - RB Lynch 'a major focus' for inconsistent rush defense
The Rams contained Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch (27 carries, 88 yards) in the first matchup but they also held Cardinals RB Beanie Wells 20 yards on 10 carries the first time they played Arizona. Wells then came back with a 228-yard day three weeks later. Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo said Lynch will be “a major focus” Monday night. Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 10, 2011 2:15 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Spagnuolo impressed with Clemens' quick study
Coach Steve Spagnuolo on QB Kellen Clemens’ second day of practice: “I am thoroughly impressed with the command in the huddle and spitting out the verbiage and the little things I see, moving running backs around. He does a nice job with it. He’s started some games, so that’s a bonus.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 10, 2011 2:13 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Feeley, Porter miss practice; out of Monday's game
Not practicing Saturday: QB A.J. Feeley (ankle), RB Quinn Porter (oblique) and FB Brit Miller (knee). QB Sam Bradford (ankle) “got a little bit of work,” coach Steve Spagnuolo said. DE Chris Long (ankle) and DT Fred Robbins (back) were also limited. TE Lance Kendricks missed Saturday’s practice because of a personal issue, but should play Monday. Feeley and Porter are out for the game. Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 10, 2011 2:10 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Bradford tests ankle, still hopes to play
QB Sam Bradford tested his injured left ankle on Saturday. “The test here is come out and do the work and see how it feels tomorrow,” coach Steve Spagnuolo said. “We are treading lightly and going safe. If you could see the look in his eye when I told him he wasn’t going to play last week, it’s hard to do.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 10, 2011 2:06 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Rams 'juiced up' for Monday Night Football
Coach Steve Spagnuolo had the old Hank Williams Monday Night Football music theme playing as the team finished stretching before Saturday morning’s practice. “It’s special for the players,” Spagnuolo said of MNF. “It’s one game that it’s the only two teams playing so … I know the guys get juiced up on it.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 10, 2011 2:04 p.m. - by Ron Clements - LB Laurinaitis, DE Long named game captains
Game captains for Monday night will be defensive stars LB James Laurinaitis and DE Chris Long. They join season captains RB Steven Jackson, K Josh Brown and DE James Hall. Long is tied for third in the NFL with 12 sacks, including two last week. Laurinaitis leads the team in tackles. Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 10, 2011 1:31 p.m. - by Ron Clements - QB Clemens: Rams helped him quickly forget shock of release. QB Kellen Clemens said he was shocked by his release from Houston, but getting a quick phone call from the Rams helped cushion the blow. “There’s another team out there that’s interested, has a little bit of confidence in you, and wants you to come in and be a part of their football team,” he said. “So, it goes both ways.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
