Torry Holt blames the offensive line for the Rams' struggles
Torry Holt blames the offensive line for the Rams' struggles over the first two weeks of the season, according to the Charlotte Observer. Holt said, "Those guys, the offensive line, have to continue to take more pride in what they're doing to keep the quarterback clean. It's going to come down to the guys up front that's protecting Marc and giving Steven Jackson running lanes and giving us time to get open in the secondary."The Rams' offense could be headed for another long day against Seattle, as they currently lead the NFL with nine sacks, but Holt should not be benched by fantasy owners, as he scored five touchdowns over his last six meetings with Seattle.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Rams RB Steven Jackson is
News: The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Rams RB Steven Jackson is itching to boost his carries total perhaps even double them on Sunday in Seattle.

"He hasn't run the ball enough, and we need to make sure that we establish our run" so that opponents can't tee off in obvious passing situations. After two lopsided losses, the Rams are last in the NFL in total offense and tied for last in scoring. Some 29 ballcarriers have surpassed Jackson's 93 rushing yards. In 2005, when Jackson led the league in yards from scrimmage, he got almost 22 carries per game. This year, he's averaging just 13.5. [...]

The AP reports that Steven Jackson expects to carry the ball
The AP reports that Steven Jackson expects to carry the ball more for the St. Louis Rams against the Super Bowl champion New York Giants on Sunday. Last week against the Eagles he managed just 14 carries for 40 yards as the Rams had to play from behind all day. “I am definitely looking forward to it,” Jackson said about running more. “I think that is when the offense and the team thrive, when we control the ball on the ground...I definitely feel like I have my legs under me. Week 1 was a good test, letting me know where I am at as a point of competing, timing and then within the offense,"It won’t be an easy task for Jackson and the Rams to establish the running game against the Giants. New York ranked eighth in the NFL in rush defense last season. In the season-opening 16-7 victory over Washington, the Giants held the Redskins to 84 yards rushing and only 209 total yards. Jackson was one of the bigger Week 1 disappointments in fantasy and may be an excellent buy low candidate as he figures to have a much expanded role going forward.

Despite a 27-day holdout during training camp, running back
News: Despite a 27-day holdout during training camp, running back Steven Jackson says he's ready to go when the St. Louis Rams open the season in Philadelphia on Sunday. Jackson ended up getting a six-year, $44-million contract. To make up for the missed time, Rams coach Scott Linehan put Jackson in what he termed a "semi-boot camp" to get him ready for the regular season. The sessions were intense.
