At home, killing time and surfing Youtube, I stumbled upon the 'Week in the Life' of Steven Jackson. It took place leading up to the week 11 or 12 game against Atlanta in 2010. Not only is it great to see the dedication to his craft that Mr. Jackson employs, but it's amazing to realize that just two measly years ago, this team was on the rise and one game away from playoffs.
Look at some of the shots in the locker room in that video and the names on jerseys, it's amazing how many guys are gone in just two years' time. I know that most of you guys on this site are aware of it all, but it really hit me how much this team has done in just 2 years time. They hit rock bottom, again, cleaned house, again, and are now on the rise, again. I just really feel for Jackson as everything he's done in his entire career will basically be forgotten by most simply because the guy hasn't played for contenders. I don't think there's anyone that can be blamed for it as over the past 8 years there have been plenty of suspect "leaders" around this ball club, but I just think the average fan or even people who don't follow the Rams would be shocked to know how much turmoil is around this team at all times and how one guy has been the constant unsung hero.
