    Rams E-ZineShaky/Andy,



    Thank you for your email and for your passion for the Rams. I know many of our fans, including our most loyal and diehard fans, don’t understand why we committed to play in London. There are a lot of season ticket holders who feel this way, we recognize that. Please know the goal of playing in London was to make it easier for us to stay in St. Louis for the long-term. We are committed to building a great franchise in St. Louis and delivering the on-field results our fans deserve. The hiring of Jeff Fisher and signing a great coaching staff are the first steps in the right direction. All I can ask is that you judge us over the next few months about how serious we are about winning in St. Louis and building a great franchise and not just based on one announcement. I know nobody may believe us when we say we are as committed today as we were earlier this week, but it is the truth. We have no desire to be in London.

    Rams Fans, it's great to chat with you today. It's been a busy week, and I know many of you have great excitement about the hiring of Jeff Fisher and many of you are here because you have great trepidation about today's announcement. As a franchise, we are excited about both and the chance to become an elite franchise in the NFL. With that, let's chat!

    Hi, Mr. Demoff! I appreciate the time you take with us fans. That being said, did you really believe that fans would be happy with the fact that THREE home games are now scheduled to be played in London, one in each of the next three years? I am so unhappy about this that I cannot believe it. I NEVER thought we would lose THREE home games!! I don't look upon it as an honor, but as a snub. What was Mr. Kroenke thinking? By the way, I loved the hiring of Jeff Fisher. I felt certain that better days were on the horizon. But now I'm not so sure. Please tell me that I'm wrong.

    VP of Football Operations and Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff, Stlouisrams.com
    To be honest, we knew the news today would provide a mixed bag for our fan base. We view London as a powerful tool to build our fan base regionally, nationally and globally for the long-term. But we also knew that in the short-term, many of our best fans would be upset by the news. To wake up and find out that we are playing a game in 2012-2014 in London and not St. Louis is a shock, and certainly given fan angst over the lease situation, it likely appears more ominous than it actually is. Our thinking is we need to find a way to grow our fan base and this is a way to leverage the power of the NFL to do so.

    Head Coach Jeff Fisher on the Rome show (The Jungle), by RustyRay

    Rams E-Zine
    About his year off?

    Best decision he ever made...to recharge and do some things like travel and go to Montana...went to some Auburn Football games.

    Climbed a mountain with some wounded warriors. He went with Teddy Bruski Sp? Big time grind...no issues...really awesome reaching the summit.

    Took it easy...slept in when he could. Stayed connected with the league...competition committee non voting member.

    What did he like about the Rams?

    Lots of time with the owner and Sam Bradford...commitment is there from them to turn this into a winner. The owner wants to win and win badly and turn it around.

    (On if he turned into a recruiter and tried to sell Coach Fisher on St. Louis)
    “No. I really just tried to be myself. I wasn’t going to be anything other than who I am. I didn’t want to give him a false impression of who I was. Like I said earlier, it was just time for us to meet to learn a little bit more about each other. If that helped along the process and helped get him here then I’m very happy that I was able to do that.”

    Head Coach Jeff Fisher Press Conference
    January 17, 2012

    (Executive Vice President of Football Operations/Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff Opening Remarks)
    “Good afternoon. Today’s a tremendously proud day for our organization, our fans, our players, our partners in St. Louis. Two weeks ago, I was standing up here and we were laying out the vision for what we wanted for this franchise. We wanted someone who could energize our fan base, deliver a winning product on the field and help us build an organization on and off the field that St. Louis could be proud of. Today, we have delivered that person who best embodies our vision and it’s Head Coach Jeff Fisher. The third winningest active coach in the NFL. He’s active as of about five minutes ago. His teams play with a passion that is uniquely Jeff Fisher. They’re tough, they’re competitive and you know when you’ve played a Jeff Fisher team and that’s exactly what we were looking for. No matter who we spoke to around the league: players, coaches, league officials. They talked about a charismatic, respective leader who teams were always prepared on Sunday. I think, as I’ve witnessed and we’ve all witnessed over the past weekend with the outpouring of support from St. Louis and our fans, our fans agree with that assessment. The time was now for a bold statement about the future of this organization and to deliver a winner to our fans. Here to talk about that commitment to winning, our owner, Stan Kroenke.”

    Jack Youngblood Q and A with the HERD

    Rams E-ZineThanks for stopping by!! by Headslap85

    Hey Jack, as a SO Cal child of the 70s I lived and died with the Rams...that era of Ram football was so great and yet heartbreaking for a young boy growing up.I had images of Staubach and Tarkenton in my nightmares back in that day.I was at the dreaded Mud bowl,I remember us crushing Rodger The Dodger in the regular season and having him turn to the Ram bench and say "see you chokers in Dec" and then just getting beat down 28-0 on our home turf.
    My Question is what was your most rewarding victory and conversely what was your toughest defeat to swallow?

    My best memory was Feragamo to Waddy v.s Dallas playoff comeback.
    Worst was either Paul Krause returning blocked Fg or Hollywood Henderson making a house call at the end of afore mentioned Playoff loss!!

    Thanks for the memories #85 easily one of my favorite all time Rams who played in an era that defined tough-guy football



    Jack Youngblood:

    rewarding may have been the -7 game in Seattle 79 and toughest Dallas 37-7 75 and the mud bowl Minn. 77

    RamView, January 1, 2012, Game #16: 49ers 34, Rams 27, by Mike Franke

    Rams E-ZineRamView, January 1, 2012
    From Row HH
    (Report and opinions from the game.)
    Game #16: 49ers 34, Rams 27

    For their finale as Steve Spagnuolo's team, at least the Rams were in a game for a change. A loss is a loss, but if a few more of the Rams' losses in 2011 had gone like this, we wouldn't be talking about replacing the entire front office the day after the season. Instead, happy Black Monday, Rams Nation.

    Position by position:
    * QB: What is it about Kellen Clemens? He has yet to put up game statistics that look good on paper (14-31-226, 67.4 PR), but still gives the Ram offense a spark. The Rams even discovered their long-missing downfield passing game this week. Clemens hit Brandon Lloyd for 24 off double play-action on the opening drive, which Clemens finished off himself with an 18-yard TD run, slipping some bad 49er tackling, running through Donte Whitner at the 5 and diving in for the score. The Rams' lead didn't last long, though, as the offense bogged down in a mudpit of sacks, dropped passes, fumbling and the Worst Trick Play Ever. Clemens did not come out of halftime sharp, missing a wide-open Lloyd on a slant after clanging a pass off a 49er lineman's head. Down 20-7 in the 3rd, Clemens drove the Rams to a FG on the strength of a couple of plays that hadn't worked here all year. He hit Lance Kendricks in the seam for 22 – remember when that play was going to be the bread and butter of this year's offense? - and then rolled out and hit Lloyd on the sideline for 23, becoming the first Ram QB this season to hit the deep option instead of taking the well-covered near-option for no gain. Clemens committed a critical mistake in the 4th, a poor throw from his end zone intended for Lloyd that Tarell Brown jumped and picked off easily to set up a 49er TD and a 3-TD lead. Clemens kept firing, though, and nearly rallied the Rams back. He beat a 3rd-and-11 blitz with a perfectly-placed pass to Lloyd over Whitner for a 36-yard TD. That combination worked again for a DPI penalty that set up a Cadillac Williams TD plunge. Down 34-27, the Rams got the ball back, and, after hitting Brandon Gibson over the middle for 21, Clemens had them within 33 yards of the tying score. That, though, became the moment his fearlessness in the pocket – he threw plenty of passes with defenders in his face – came back to bite him. NaVorro Bowman blitzed in for a sack that also put Clemens out of the rest of the game due to an ankle injury. That brought Tom Brandstater in for his first two professional passes, a one-hopper to Danario Alexander and a 4th-down rope to Alexander in double-coverage that the Ram WR really should have caught. Clemens' arrival on the scene and his quick absorption of the system made him one of the more intriguing Rams this season; intrigue lost, though, now that the Rams are scrapping everything and starting over.
