    Rams got a lot of pub on “NFL Insiders” today.

    I think it’s because Foles was on “Jaws’ QB Countdown”. I can’t remember exactly what # Foles was (low 20’s) but he came in right behind Cutler.

    Jaws was very effusive with his praise for Nick, calling the Rams play action O the “perfect fit”. He then showed a couple of PA plays of Foles under center and a nice bootleg TD to the TE. The crew chimed in on how much Fisher loves Foles and how much Foles loves being with the Rams.

    Jarret Bell (of USA TODAY fame) went on to call the Rams “The biggest tease in the NFL.” He said that every off season writers pick the Rams to make the playoffs – 11 of ESPN’s 24 did this year – only to be disappointed once the regular season begins. He later said we were the biggest tease “outside of the Dallas Cowboys.”

    Really?

    Who has been picking the Rams for the Playoffs every year before now?

    You could probably count on one hand the number of NFL writers who picked the Rams to make the playoffs last year, if that. Bradford was coming off his first ACL tear. …and for 2013 and 2012? Was there a single writer who could have picked the Rams?

    What is Bell talking about?
