Morning Ram-blings: Fisher's approach

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams' 1-3 start to the 2014 NFL season has clearly been a disappointment given the expectations the team had for itself and many from the outside had going in.

But Sports Illustrated's Austin Murphy wrote in his latest piece that despite those early disappointments, coach Jeff Fisher has remained steady in his leadership for the young team.

In the piece, Murphy offers plenty of intriguing details, including the Rams' apparent belief that if healthy quarterback Sam Bradford could still have a spot on the team next year (albeit at a greatly reduced price). There's also some insight into the way Fisher's interview with owner Stan Kroenke went down.

The focal point of the article, though, is how Fisher is equipped to handle the adversity and rough spots that come through the course of a season.
