Rams running back Steven Jackson popped off in an interview with Mike Silver on
Yahoo.com. Here's Jackson on Rams fans: "You've got to love those Rams fans who
showed their loyalty by selling their tickets to Packers and Steelers fans, so
half the people in the stadium were rooting against us. It was like playing
road games. We ran out of the tunnel and got booed. It was ridiculous. I was
livid."

And when asked why he fell short of his 2007 goals, Jackson said: "Two things
killed me: My offensive line was just decimated, and our receivers didn't
block. You look at Adrian Peterson, LaDainian Tomlinson or anyone who has a ton
of yards, and those guys on the perimeter block."

(Just wondering: When's the last time Jackson was reliable in picking up
blitzes and blocking for his quarterback?)

Writing on Foxsports.com, Pete Schrager nominated the Rams as the team most
likely to go from worst to first in a division in 2008. Schrager pointed out
that at least one team has gone from last to first in a season since 2002. He
wrote: "The team to watch in '08? The Rams. I know, I know, we've all fallen
for the Rams before. But this year, St. Louis is truly a legitimate darkhorse.
Banged up by injuries all of last season, St. Louis should be healthy and much
improved come the start of the 2008 campaign."
