Perfect start to the Rams post Kurt Warner era. The greatest
show on turf didn't mean offense today it was all about the
defense today. They got to the quarterback 11 times. 11 times
they sacked the QB. I bet that made the offense feel good.
Knowing that they didn't have to do much to win the game due to
the defense man handling the Saints. Marc Bulger had his best
start of the season today. He was 13-26 for 199 yards. Now I
know that doesn't sound like a great start but when you see what
he did touchdown wise it makes sense. He had 3 touchdowns and
only 1 interecption. Now compared to his first two games he
already through less interecptions today than any other game.
His first two games he threw 3 picks and today he threw 3
touchdowns. That will definitely help out your defense and your
team win the game. But when you have one of the best running
backs in the game it's not hard to pull out wins. Faulk was a
beast today he was able to get over 100 yards today. Rushing for
104 yards on 10 attempts and scored 1 touchdown. He also caught
3 passes for 21 yards and 1 touchdown. He was doing it all
today. You can't stop one of the best backs you can only hope to
contain him. He wasn't the only back to have a good game. Steven
Jackson had a decent game for not being in there very much. He
rushed the ball on 7 attempts for 42 yards. The receivers didn't
have outstanding games but when the defense plays like legends
out there, there is no need to have to put it all on the
offense. Holt had himself a pretty good day having 4 receptions
for 73 yards and catching 1 touchdowns. Not too bad of a day.
Bruce didn't have a crazy game but he still did enough to help
them out. He may of have only 39 yards on 3 receptions but he
was still able to get himself a touchdown pass as well. Now
where the real story is at the defense. Let's say it again they
sacked the quarterback 11 times. Leading the way was Leonard
Little with 4 tackles and 4 sacks. Little had more sacks than
the whole Saints team had. Tinoisamoa lead the team with 6
tackles and also got into the sack total with 2 of his own.
Moran had himself 3 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Garrett, Jackson, and
Polley also joined the Rams sack club with 1 a piece. But that
wasn't the only club the Rams had going on today. Williams and
Thomas started their own club. We're interecptions are the fee
of entry. They both werw abke to get themselves a pick in this
game. When your front line is putting tons of pressure on the QB
its makes it a little easier to get a couple picks. The defense
gave up 320 yards total. Not to bad of a day. Only 194 yards
through the air keeping them out of the endzone passing and
rushing. 126 yards rushing. Other than the fumble recovery in
the endzone the Rams kept the Saints out of the endzone. Next
week the Rams will be facing a division opponent in the 49ers.
Let's see if they can keep their perfect streak going.
