Richie Incognito News

We're at the midway point of the NFL season, so every national sports publication and web site is putting out their midseason NFL awards, All-Pro Teams, and even updated Super Bowl predictions.

He has played football, coached his favorite sport and now is talking a good game about what goes 'round in the NFL.

The St. Louis Rams returned to the practice field Monday after a four-day break for their bye week.

But they rank only 20th in rushing defense and 28th in yards allowed per carry .

Amendola rode a stationary bicycle during Tuesday's workout and coach Steve Spagnuolo said the diminutive receiver was set to undergo tests for concussion-related symptoms on Wednesday.

One win. It seems so little in the grand scheme of things in the NFL but it is something that the St.

Now that the Lions have made the unthinkable thinkable by going 0-16 last year, everyone is wondering who will be the second team to do it.

The sight of long-snapper Chris Massey writhing in pain on the Edward Jones Dome turf Sunday "upset me a lot," Rams punter Donnie Jones said.

On just his fifth snap at left tackle as a pro, rookie Jason Smith found out what he'll eventually be up against in the NFL.

Rookie cornerback Bradley Fletcher and long snapper Chris Massey have been lost for the season.

For good measure, the Colts have marched 93 yards for another touchdown. The Rams helped by committing two penalties on the 11-play drive that took 6:47 off the clock.

In a mild upset, Cardinals tackle Levi Brown has moved past Rams guard Richie Incognito in the "race" to lead all NFC West players in penalties this season.

The best news the St. Louis Rams received Monday was that the hip injury sustained by wide receiver Donnie Avery on Sunday in Jacksonville doesn't appear to be serious.

Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says the Rams are 0-16 since Oct. 18, 2008.

So far, the St. Louis Rams, decked out in their throwback jerseys, are looking a lot more like the 1998 club than the Super Bowl-championship outfit of '99. A fumble by QB Kyle Boller was brought back 52 yards for a TD by Vikings DE Jared Allen that made it 14-0 just 7 minutes into the game.

A 40-year-old in pink cleats was good enough to beat the St. Louis Rams. OK, so maybe it wasn't any 40-year-old. It was Brett Favre, and it doesn't seem to matter what colour his cleats are.

Penalty information can augment personnel analysis. Six frequently overmatched offensive linemen fill the top eight spots in the chart showing the NFC West's most penalized players through Week 4. The book on Rams guard Richie Incognito says he's a talented player merely needing to control his emotions.

Rams fans, Chris Long feels your pain. Although the former No. 2 overall draft pick has the most tackles - 18 - among the Rams' defensive linemen, Long has yet to record a sack after bagging four last year as a rookie.

The new healthy quarterback was no better than the old battered one. The revolving door of faceless, easily interchangable characters who keep putting on the Rams uniform provided no better visible signs of relief, improvement or vague chance at victory than the ones they replaced.

It's the fantasy potential of the 2009 Rams offense. a After yet another sullen Sunday afternoon all but the most hardcore Rams fans have resigned themselves to the fact that 2009 is destined to be an epic failure almost on par with the 2008 disaster.
