[textarea]1 minute ago - by Ron Clements - McDaniels explains use of trick plays
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on the number of trick plays the Rams have run this season: “You always have (them) ready to go. Sometimes you do it to give your team a little bit of juice. Plenty of time, it’s because you see something in the defense that makes you feel like you got a chance.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]18 minutes ago - by Ron Clements - Thin secondary to be challenged by Steelers WRs
Because of the depleted secondary, Rams defensive coordinator Ken Flajole said it will be a challenge to defend Pittsburgh’s deep corps of WRs. “We’re going to find out if it’s possible,” Flajole said. “We don’t have a busload of corners rolling into Rams Park. We’re going to have to play with the guys we have.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]19 minutes ago - by Ron Clements - Steelers have 'playmakers on all three levels'
Both coach Steve Spagnuolo, offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and RB Steven Jackson had high praise for Pittsburgh’s defense, which “has playmakers on all three levels.” McDaniels said LB James Harrison and S Troy Polamalu are nightmarish matchup problems because the Steelers move them around so much.

[textarea]19 minutes ago - by Ron Clements - Flajole 'very happy' with play of S Stewart
Defensive coordinator Ken Flajole on S Darian Stewart: “He’s done a nice job and we’ve asked a lot of him because of the injuries in our secondary. There were a couple games where we had to play him at nickel with very little on-the-job training. We’re very happy with where he’s been. It’d be helpful for him if he could stay at one position.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]19 minutes ago - by Ron Clements - Rams could struggle with speedy Steelers WRs
Defensive coordinator Ken Flajole joked that Steelers WRs are so fast that one may not see them, “but you hear them when they go by. They can run.” The Rams have struggled with speedy WRs all season and are down to only three healthy CBs. “The guys we put in there will play hard and we’ll see what happens,” Flajole said.

[textarea]54 minutes ago - by Ron Clements - Spagnuolo not celebrating his birthday
Wednesday was coach Steve Spagnuolo’s 52nd birthday. Spagnuolo joked that he stopped celebrating his birthday so he doesn’t have to count it. “That’s my rule,” he said. He then added that the “NFL did the right thing” by scheduling games on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas day. Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]55 minutes ago - by Ron Clements - RB Jackson's durability a reflection of offense
RB Steven Jackson is 34 yards shy of his seventh straight 1,000-yard rushing season. “Any time that can happen, that’s a great reflection of the whole offense, especially the offensive line,” coach Steve Spagnuolo said. “We certainly would all like that for Steven. Durability is the first thing that sticks in my mind. You’ve got to be pretty durable to get 1,000 yards in this league.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 21, 2011 3:34 p.m. - by Ron Clements - 'Scramble' to get CBs Smith and Ness ready
CBs Chris Smith and Nate Ness may be pressed into action on Saturday, but coach Steve Spagnuolo said the Rams are relying on those two to help in special teams. Spagnuolo said “it’s a scramble” to get Smith and Ness up to speed on defense and Justin King (shoulder) is not expected to play. Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 21, 2011 3:26 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Bradford, Long still not practicing
Not practicing Wednesday: QB Sam Bradford (ankle), QB A.J. Feeley (thumb), CB Josh Gordy (oblique), CB Justin King (shoulder) and DE Chris Long (ankle). Gordy, the team’s best corner, is expected to practice on Thursday and is hopeful for Saturday’s game at Pittsburgh. Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 21, 2011 1:13 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Tomlin impressed with up-and-coming Rams players
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the Rams have “exciting, young guys” on defense. He said they’ll have “to account for” DE Chris Long, who has 13 sacks, and called LB James Laurinaitis “a sideline-to-sideline tackle guy.” Tomlin is also impressed with S Darian Stewart, who is “consistently physical and productive.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
[textarea]Dec. 21, 2011 1:03 p.m. - by Ron Clements - Steelers coach impressed with Rams' RB Jackson
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on Rams RB Steven Jackson: “He needs no endorsement from me. His resume speaks for itself. In the run game and passing game, this guy’s a dangerous guy. We’ve got to do a good job of trying to contain and minimize what he does.” Rams RapidReports[/textarea]
