Mon, 06 Sep 2010 02:05:48 PDTRams Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) -
For a team that averaged less than 11 points a game in 2009, it was paramount that the Rams exit training camp with a unit that had the potential to be a lot better.
To do that meant making sure running back Steven Jackson was healthy following April back surgery, putting together an offensive line that could hopefully develop chemistry and, most importantly, getting rookie quarterback Sam Bradford ready to play.
It appears to be mission accomplished on all those fronts, which has resulted in some guarded optimism surrounding a team that has won just six of 48 games over the past three seasons.
There remain questions about the wide receiver corps, but the tight end group looks promising.

Leinart, Houshmandzadeh released as NFL teams trim to 53 (SportingNews.com) - Matt Leinart might get a second chance, but for the Arizona Cardinals he was a first-round bust. The team released Leinart on Saturday, marking another career setback for the 10th pick of the 2006 draft and the 2004 Heisman Trophy winner. Another team may sign Leinart as a backup quarterback -- perhaps the Seattle Seahawks, for whom his former college coach, Pete Carroll, is now the head coach. However, Leinart's inability to beat out Derek Anderson for the Cardinals' starting job raises the question whether Leinart will ever be good enough to start...
