Donnie Avery News

Before I get started, I need to apologize to all of you readers for the lateness of this post.

For the second week in a row, the Rams were positioned for a possible upset against one of the NFC's best teams.

Once the Rams knocked Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner out of Sundaya TMs game, they had a fighting chance against the Cardinals.

Although they continue to try very hard, everybody knows that the Rams aren't going anywhere this season with personnel that comes up significantly short in the talent department compared to most NFL rosters.

The St. Louis Rams' captains for this week are: * Donnie Avery, offense: Avery had two touchdown catches in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the unbeaten Saints.

One team came to the Edward Jones Dome with a +129 points differential, the other with a -144. This was, on paper, a matchup of one of the very best and very worst teams in the NFL, a game that should have been over at halftime.

With the NFL season just past the halfway mark, the Rams have only one wide receiver - Donnie Avery - left on their active roster who was with the team during training camp.

The Rams appear to be making progress. It just depends on how you choose to measure them.

Never figuring that he'd have to wait 21 2 months to have an opportunity to make a splash in the NFL, rookie wide receiver Brandon Gibson acknowledged that he was a bit frazzled Sunday.

Reggie Bush helped the unbeaten New Orleans Saints overcome another bundle of mistakes and get off to the best start in team history.

When New Orleans travels to St. Louis on Sunday, you've likely read as much about the Saints as you possibly can.

NEW ORLEANS You don't have to be a "big name" to succeed in the NFL. You don't have to be from a "big school." But it can't hurt apparently.

It's seemingly a fair statement to make that the New Orleans Saints should be 9-0 after this weekend's game.

The National Organization for Women has called on the Oakland Raiders to suspend coach Tom Cable while the team investigates allegations he has a history of violent behavior toward women.

Marc Bulger has thrown just three touchdown passes and has a passer rating of 68.2 for the scuffling St.

Who would've guessed that at the midway point of the season, the Rams' touchdown leader would be Daniel Fells and fellow tight end Billy Bajema would have the team's highest yards-per-catch average? "I'll tell you who would've guessed that - the tight ends would've guessed that," Fells shot back in mock indignation.

The injuries, and losses, have piled up for the St. Louis Rams this season. In last week's loss to the Colts, long snapper Chris Massey and rookie cornerback Bradley Fletcher were lost for the season due to knee injuries.

Steven Jackson has been "it" for the Rams' offense this season, averaging more than 100 yards per game and staying near the top of the league in total offensive touches.

Sunday certainly established one thing: The Indianapolis Colts are a heck of a lot better than the Jacksonville Jaguars.
