RAMS WEEK 8

With QB Sam Bradford at the main of the offense through the season’s first seven weeks, the Rams were among the league’s best in limiting turnovers. Bradford threw just four interceptions this year, and the Rams played consecutive games without a turnover in Weeks 5 and 6.  Despite their three turnovers last week in Carolina, the Rams are tied for the eighth-fewest giveaways this year.

QB Kellen Clemens will now be tasked with providing a spark against the league’s second-ranked defense, as well as continuing the Rams’ steady turnover ratio. This week will be Clemens’ first start since 2011, though he has gained a penchant for his ability to protect the football. In 17 games, including four starts, since 2010, Clemens has thrown just two interceptions.

Despite grabbing an early 3-0 lead with a 33-yard field goal by Greg Zuerlein in the Rams’ second possession of the game, two costly interceptions limited what could have been a sizeable early advantage. Positioned within the Zuerlein’s range in their next possession, Clemens was picked off by LB Bruce Irvin to halt the drive. Seattle CB Richard Sherman later ended another promising Rams possession in the second quarter.

Clemens, who began the year in his third season as Sam Bradford’s backup, was called upon after Bradford left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter with a torn ACL in his left knee. In less than a week, Clemens will assume the role of starter as the Rams take on Seattle on Monday night Clemens, who began the year in his third season as Sam Bradford’s backup, was called upon after Bradford left Sunday’s game in the fourth quarter with a torn ACL in his left knee.

ST. LOUIS – An MRI conducted late Sunday evening confirmed that Rams QB Sam Bradford suffered a torn (ACL) in his left knee during the team’s Week 7 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Bradford will miss the remainder of the 2013 season. 

In a move to improve the team’s depth at the quarterback position, the Rams signed Austin Brown and Brady Quinn on Tuesday. In a  roster move, the Rams released G Brandon Washington and practice squad LB Jonathan Stewart. QB  Sam Bradford was moved to the injured reserve.

Davis begins his second duty with the Rams. He served as the Rams’ third-string quarterback in 2012, and competed with current starter Kellen Clemens during training camp this year for the team’s backup quarterback job. Davis was released on August 31.

Rams

 Sam Bradford attempted 16 passes against Houston on Sunday, but he made the all count as he completed 12 for 117 yards and three touchdowns. The result was a career-high quarterback rating of 134.6.

The Rams have found something in Zac Stacy at running back the past two weeks. The position is getting at least some semblance of stability. That doesn't mean the Rams have a definitive answer at the position for the long term, but Stacy looks to be pleading a decent case.
