Stat of the day

Got this from a Mike Sando entry on ESPN.com but probably should have noticed it a lot sooner, like last winter, for instance....

Rams were 0-6 last season when they allowed over 120 yards rushing.

Dec. 19 Kansas City Chiefs 210
Sept. 19 Oakland Raiders 173
Jan. 2 Seattle Seahawks 141
Nov. 21 Atlanta Falcons 138
Dec. 12 New Orleans Saints 132
Oct. 24 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 124

They were 7-3 otherwise, and "should" have won two of those.
(Arizona here, San Francisco there)

Nov. 28 Denver Broncos 119
Sept. 26 Washington Redskins 116
Sept. 12 Arizona Cardinals 112
Dec. 5 Arizona Cardinals 105
Nov. 14 San Francisco 49ers 98
Oct. 10 Detroit Lions 89
Dec. 26 San Francisco 49ers 85
Oct. 17 San Diego Chargers 79
Oct. 3 Seattle Seahawks 64
Oct. 31 Carolina Panthers 25

The Rams will help themselves a lot more in free agency by focusing on DTs and WLBs, and much less on Plaxico Burress. (Though my prediction that their first free agent signing will be Daniel Graham stands)
