In the St. Louis Rams previous 1999 home games, the average score was Rams 35, Opponents 10. In Sunday's ho-hum affair vs. Carolina, the Rams defense outscored the woeful Panthers. But the star of the game? Hard to say. Well...you could start with Marshall Faulk, shown below scoring a late touchdown. |
|
Faulk's rushing stats (a pedestrial 73 yards on 16 carries) were nothing to brag about. But, when combined with his receiving numbers (64 yards on two catches)...the all-purpose nature of Faulk becomes apparent. Rams TD Roland Williams (below) also made himself apparent vs. the Panthers (three catches, 38 yards, 1 TD). |
| But perhaps it was the variety of weapons available to Rams QB Kurt Warner that was the star vs. Carolina. |
|
Isaac Bruce (80), for one, had five catches for 69 yards...and one touchdown (shown above). A healthy Bruce is reminiscent of...Paul Warfield? That's Hall of Fame stuff, folks. |
|
The Rams even tried to get the under-utilized Torry Holt involved...but in the play above...Holt dropped the ball. Holt's substantial level of skill will be needed in a playoff game... Oh yeah. Kurt Warner was 19 for 29, with 2 TDs and only one interception. And the Rams won a game they were supposed to win--35-10. Ho-hum. Next Sunday, Three Com...won't be ho-hum. No matter how bad the 'Niners are... |
