Download or read book On Every Play Eleven Men Believed written by St Louis Post Dispatch and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2000 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The eleven men who lined up on every play for the St. Louis Rams knew something the rest of the world did not. Something the fans thought would take a miracle. Something the sportscasters and odds-makers doubted. Something the other NFL teams, at least at the beginning of the season, considered impossible. But the players and coaches of the 1999-2000 St. Louis Rams shared one common mission: to win the Super Bowl. They showed up for work every day, they did their jobs and did them well. They believed in something almost no one else did. Themselves. They worked through adversity and trusted in their teammates to step up when it counted most. Week in and week out, the Rams executed their plan with workmanlike precision and an air of quiet confidence that made it seem as if they knew all along that this was where they'd end up. The St. Louis Rams were unlikely heroes. Nobody on this team set out to be a superstar. There was no one player trying to win the game by himself, for himself. Just eleven men, on every play, lining up on either side of the ball, ready to do their job. Which is why the 1999-2000 St. Louis Rams, like no other sports franchise in recent memory, displayed the power of a "team." Because when eleven men believe in themselves. Believe in each other. And believe the impossible is possible. The history can be rewritten. Old scores are settled. Dreams are made real. And a football team considered to be castoffs can become the champions of the world"--Jacket.
Download or read book Breaking Down the 2018 L A Rams Offense written by Taylor Kolste and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turnaround of the Los Angeles Rams under head coach, Sean McVay, has been truly remarkable. The Rams went from 4-12 in 2016 with, statistically, the worst offense in the NFL in nearly every category to winning a NFC West championship at 11-5, while featuring one of the most dynamic offenses in the league the next season under McVay. In McVay's second season, the Rams again won the NFC West and made their 4th Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. The goal of this book is to take an in-depth look at the schemes that helped the Rams be successful in the 2018 season with the purpose being so that other coaches can learn and use that knowledge to increase their own teams' chances of success. While this book will focus on the Rams' scheme, it would be incomplete without discussing McVay's character and leadership that have helped him be successful as a coach, and the culture that he and his staff have created. The first chapter of this book will look at McVay's character and leadership and the Rams' culture based on the information available online. The rest of the book will then be dedicated to analyzing the Rams' offensive scheme.
Download or read book The Cleveland Rams written by James C. Sulecki and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-10-24 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016 the Rams left St. Louis for Los Angeles—having departed L.A. for St. Louis in 1995—and caused much heartbreak among fans. NFL teams are notorious for decamping to more profitable markets and the Rams’ history of opportunistic moves goes back to 1946, when they left Cleveland, their original hometown, where fans had cheered them to a championship a month earlier. The move to L.A. from Cleveland shocked the NFL and shook up its power structure. It also jolted the all-white league into reintegration, prepared the way for the Browns, and made the Rams the only NFL champs ever to have spent the following season in a different city. This is the story of how the Rams went from a home-grown Ohio team funded by local businessmen to the first major-league franchise on the West Coast, and how their departure jumpstarted a chain of events in Cleveland that continues to this day.
