Preseason :Rams vs Vikings

The Bradford era in St Louis has begun. That thud you here is a result of another "here we go again" performance by the guys in Horns.

Good: Bradford's poise and surgically repaired right shoulder that absorbed 4 sacks.
Special teams returner Danny Amendola providing the Rams only points.
Larry Grant at OLB made some plays and played, well, like a LB that was drafted by the 49ers.

Bad: LT Rodger Saffold had some noticeable trouble with the Vikings speed rushers.
The Rams WR got little or no separation from the Vikings DB's

Ugly: Every Rams RB that played and the subsequent run blocking
Former 1st round Tackle Jason Smith who provided an early test of Mr Bradford's surgically repaired shoulder.
Last but not least OC Pat Shurmur's dink and dunk offense that provided Rams fans to moan all of last year. Example 3 and 6 expect a 4 yard pass to a covered fullback, Tight end, or Tackle eligible.
Blown coverages from LB's and DB's.

Just the first preseason game I keep telling myself, let's see if real improvement materializes next week.
