The St. Louis Rams are coming into the season with high expectations after losing just once in the NFC West last season and after going undefeated against the 49ers, the team is ready to make the next jump for head coach Jeff Fisher and that all will begin on Thursday night in the preseason as the team visits the Cleveland Browns.
The Rams finished 7-8-1 last season and now that Sam Bradford is back with another year under his belt, the team will be ready to take on the Seahawks and 49ers, who both are coming into the season as Super Bowl contenders after making runs last season and now the Rams will be tasked to keep up.
The team drafted a number of new players and now has Tavon Austin on offense for Bradford and the running game is still a question mark after Steven Jackson left for the Falcons. Last season Bradford showed some great improvement with 21 touchdowns and nearly 3,800 yards passing and now that he has added Austin, the offense will really open up and he had some solid games last season, including one when he passed for over 370 yards against the Vikings with three scores.
The team drafted Alec Ogletree to bolster the defense and the team also has some solid young names stepping up to take starting time and the Rams could be one of the best young teams in the league. The Browns are breaking in a new coach with Rob Chudzinski and Brandon Weeden will get a look in year two and first round pick Bark Mingo will also get his chance to show what he can do after being taken sixth overall.
