RamView, 8/18

The game report for last night's Rams 31-17 win over the Chiefs is up now at ramview.com.  Link

* Last night's positives: Bradford, Amendola, Steven Jackson, Lance Kendricks, Mike McNeill, Daryl Richardson, linebacker play overall, five sacks, forcing four turnovers, scoring 21 points off of those turnovers, Barry Richardson as a run blocker.

* Last night's negatives: Isaiah Pead again, covering the tight end, Quinn Ojinnaka as a left tackle, Barry Richardson as a pass blocker.

* Last night's injuries: still waiting for details on these two fairly important injury situations. Michael Brockers left the game woozy after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Peyton Hillis and did not return. Brian Quick left the game with suspected tightness in his back and did not return.

The usual suspects did not play at all Saturday night due to injury: Danario Alexander, Bradley Fletcher, Brandon Gibson, Jamaar Jarrett, Trevor Laws, Darian Stewart, Scott Wells. Some of y'all aren't even going to have jobs any more when you do get back.

Sam Bradford played despite an ankle injury that is now 44 weeks old and counting.

Update: Gibson, Stewart and Wells are all expected to practice this week. Quick had back spasms and doesn't appear to be expected to miss any time. No discussion of Brockers' "ding" in STLToday's Rams report Sunday.

* Rams practice is at 3:30 tomorrow and is open to the public. Wednesday's is the final open practice of training camp.
