St. Louis Rams: The Only NFC West Team Without a 1,000 Yd Rusher?
Turf Show Times — The Rams' most reliable player - over the past eight years - will no longer be lining up in the team's backfield. Steven Jackson will carry the load for the Falcons, and the Rams now look to a trio of young running backs to move the team downfield. Jackson had rushed for 1,000+ yards for eight consecutive years; something only five other rushers [Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Thurman Thomas, Curtis Martin, and LaDainian Tomlinson] have ever done. It appears that streak - at least as it pertains to the Rams - will come to an end. Jackson wasn’t the only rusher in the NFC West to ec...

Steven Jackson and Osi Umenyiora are Good Influences
The Falcoholic — It's no secret that Thomas Dimitroff is good at his job. In five seasons as Atlanta's general manager, he's been named as Sporting News' Executive of the Year twice. That's not too shabby. Since Dimitroff was hired by Atlanta prior to the 2008 season, he's consistently made smart personnel choices. A few of his choices--Ray Edwards comes to mind--don't seem that smart in retrospect, but in looking at his free agent acquisitions collectively, Dimitroff has been very successful. The two big name free agents who signed with the Falcons this offseason, running back Steven Jackson and defen...

June 15, 2013Falcons see S-Jax as double threat
FFToday — Veteran RB impressing new teammates The Falcons see Steven Jackson as a multi-dimensional runner-receiver who will amp up the screen game and their zone runs. Jackson comes to Atlanta with 2,395 carries, the most of any active back. He had at least 250 carries in seven of his last eight seasons. He is bigger than he's been at 245 pounds, although he does plan to get down to 237 for camp. The Falcons signed him in large part because he's a double threat. He can get the tough yards in the fourth quarter, something they need more of to burn clock, but he will also make them less predictabl...
June 14, 2013Steven Jackson - Falcons' Jackson scoffs at age-30 backlash
The Huddle — Atlanta Falcons RB Steven Jackson questioned the notion that a running back is officially toast at age 30. 'This is not the '70s or '80s, when it was just hard-nosed football. The game has changed. As long as I can evolve with it, I'll be just fine.' He's trying to fight off effects of age by going on a gluten-free diet. Huddle Up: Jackson hits 30 right before the start of training camp and will certainly put the theory to the test having had at least 293 touches and 1,363 yards from scrimmage in each of the past 5 seasons.

Mike Smith: Steven Jackson Is The Falcons' Version of Benjamin Button
The Falcoholic — I know we've gone a bit overboard with the homerific Steven Jackson content as of late, but there's nothing else to write about he's pretty awesome. And apparently he's the biological equivalent of a 22-year-old. As Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith told USA Today Sports' Jarrett Bell, Jackson is "almost 30, but in a 22-year-old's body." Always in phenomenal shape thanks to a more scientific approach to fitness, Jackson should be well prepared for an increased role in the Falcons' pass-centric offense. Matt Ryan is quick to point out that his new backfield weapon is "the size of Juli...

Matt Ryan Very Pleased With Addition of Steven Jackson
The Falcoholic — The title of this article really is a foregone conclusion. Still, it's worth pointing out how excited Matt Ryan is about the addition of Steven Jackson. "Steven Jackson is a guy that I think has come in and has been a leader," quarterback Matt Ryan said of Atlanta's new running back. "He really is. He's fun to play with and fun to work with. He's a guy that really cares." "He’s one of the few guys that has called me when he’s not here and picked my brain about certain things that we’re doing and I think that says a lot about him," Ryan said. Does this mean Ryan doesn't miss Mich...

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer likes what he sees from quarterback Sam Bradford this offseason. ESPN reports that Bradford will work with Schottenheimer for a second consecutive season, which is the first time that's happened in his young career. "The day Sam walked back into the building [this offseason] we started making adjustments," Schottenheimer said. "We are a thousand years ahead of where we were last year."
June 7, 2013Jackson feeling young at 30
CBSSports.com Fantasy — CBSSports.com Senior NFL Columnist Pete Prisco huddled with Steven Jackson in Atlanta and learned the 30-year-old running back has changed his diet (going gluten-free) and plans on losing a few pounds before the season to keep his body from breaking down. "The first thing teams said when my agent was calling around the league was that I was 30-years-old," Jackson said. "That's a hard thing, accepting and acknowledging that. I want to take great pride in changing that thinking. How can I do it? It's going to be hard. But if I can continue to play at a high level, it's going to be better for the...

St. Louis Rams OTA's: Sam Bradford not pass happy, but confident
Turf Show Times — Trying to predict how the Rams offense is going to be run - at least this early in the year - would be difficult. The only thing consistent about the team’s offensive productivity - for the better part of a decade - would be it’s inconsistency. But even in early June, there’s a sense that things could be vastly different in the upcoming season. Steven Jackson has been the focal point of the Rams offense since 2005. The days of relying upon a power back with ability to consistently forge his way through the stoutest of defenses is over, though. Not to say that the Rams won’t have an...

Top-Five Player Trades In Bengals History: Brian Leonard Kicks Off The List At No.5
Cincy Jungle — In the offseason 2007, the St. Louis Rams knew that they needed a solid complementary back to their Pro Bowl starter, Steven Jackson. They looked at the University of Rutgers who relied on two very different running backs to ride to a surprising 11-2 record. One back was the small and shifty Ray Rice and the other was the versatile Brian Leonard. The Rams decided to select Leonard in the second round of the 2007 draft and use him in a variety of ways. When Steve Spagnuolo and his regime took over in St. Louis in 1999, he didn't see the value in what Leonard brought to the roster. The ...

St. Louis Rams: A 1,000-yard rusher on the roster?
Turf Show Times — There’s been much debate as to whom - more so how much - the ball will be dispersed amongst rushers for the St. Louis Rams in the absence of Steven Jackson. Daryl Richardson earned the "go-to" tag in 2012 when Jackson was in need of a breather. Isaiah Pead, who will miss the first game of the season, came on late at the end of the year, but still has a lot to prove if he’s going to carry the majority of the workload for the Rams. Lastly, the Rams traded up two sixth round picks in this most recent draft in order to select Zac Stacy; a Vanderbilt product who’s got the build and skill...
