When you win a championship, it solidifies everything. People never talk about the Purple People Eaters of Minnesota, or the Fearsome Foursome of the Los Angeles Rams in the same light as the Steel Curtain of Pittsburgh or the Doomsday Defense of the Cowboys. Right now we're in the same class. We won a championship, and we play lights-out defense.
The Rams became enamored with Fitzpatrick during training camp. I've been an effort guy, sort of the underdog guy, my whole life, ... The thing that got me here is hard work, and there's no way I'm going to stop doing that now.
I think we had a good young nucleus of players there. If you look at the team that beat the Rams, 10 of the guys on defense were the same guys who started last year, and nine on offense were starters last year.
We could be on all the local stations at noon for a soap opera, ... You could call it 'Rams Park.' There's been a lot of adversity throughout our organization, and players being down, and Coach Martz being sick.
I don't know if it was the holiday blues or what. We had no energy in the fourth quarter, which is totally out of character for us. That didn't look like the Bastrop Lady Rams out there. Offensively or defensively, we didn't play the way we are capable of playing ball. That's the reason we lost the game.
You look now, and we've got pretty good balance in what we are doing. I remember when Colorado State had some real good teams up there with (former Rams quarterback Moses) Moreno and all those guys. There wasn't 10 yards difference between their rushing and passing. It really makes it tough on a defense to prepare for that kind of balance from an offensive team, so I hope this will be a problem for Wyoming.
The crew saw a bobbling pass reception with no control, and while the ball was still loose, it was taken away by the Rams and run for a touchdown,
After all of these interviews, it was clear to us that coach Linehan should be the next coach of the St. Louis Rams.
If the Rams had enjoyed just an average day in the red zone against San Francisco, they would have scored 30-plus points. A good day, and they top 40. Instead they scored 25, or three shy of San Francisco. For us to be as good as we are offensively, and have the talent that we have, to get in the red zone and not capitalize is disheartening, ... So we have to do a better job at that this week. . . . Coach stressed that we need to get more focused on our details in the red zone.
We were playing the Rams in Anaheim and I threw a deep ball to Ricky. That might have been the only ball I ever threw him that he should have caught, but didn't. He dropped it. Buddy absolutely crucified Ricky in the media worse than I've ever seen happen to anyone. But Ricky then is just like Ricky now ... well, except maybe he's a little wiser and has a whole lot less hair.
Turley, known for his play-through-the-whistle approach in his five seasons in New Orleans, was put on the trading block after the Saints balked at his contract demands. The Rams acquired him for a second-round pick in 2004, then signed him to a six-year, 26.5 million deal. I give Mike Martz a lot of credit, ... He was able to put aside all of that crap from the past and recognize the passion I bring to the game.
Let's not be naive to the system. For the countless examples of people who have changed teams, there are countless of examples of people who haven't changed teams. Darrell Green finished his career with the Redskins and he always was one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the league. Jackie Slater was always one of the highest-paid tackles in the league and he played his whole career with the Rams. Brett Favre got a 100-million contract a few years ago and they found a way to keep him, so it can be done. Is it important to me Yes. Is it in my hands No.
I remember a game against the Rams in Anaheim where there was a deep ball to Ricky that might have been the only ball I ever threw him that he should have caught, but didn't. He dropped it. Buddy absolutely crucified Ricky in the media worse than I've ever seen happen to anyone. But Ricky then is just like Ricky now. He's a total pro and he just kept working. Buddy Ryan tried to bury both Ricky and I while we were there. He was pretty good at that kind of stuff and he ruined some careers. I survived it and Ricky's still surviving it.
Boy, I'll tell you, when the Rams drafted me No. 1, it surprised me. I was walking on air for days.
