Rams report, 7/5: Broadcast news

StLouisRams.com

Just a little bit to talk about for the Rams this week during the football calendar's quiet time (though that's news to Josh Gordon):

* The Rams announced their two throwback uniform games this year will be October 13th against the 49ers and December 21st against the Giants. At halftime of the 49ers game, which is a Monday nighter, there will be a halftime tribute to players from the Greatest Show on Earth team. Must. Get. Throwback. Jersey!

* Marshall Faulk, Torry Holt and Andrew Siciliano will do Rams preseason broadcasts for the second straight year. Even though he doesn't do it often, Faulk is one of the best analysts out there. It's worth your while to watch a Rams preseason game just to listen to Marshall.

* Robert Quinn, the only Ram who'll make NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2014 list, came in last week at #13. That's by far the highest a Ram has been rated in the short history of that list. (Too bad it wasn't around in 1999, 2000 or 2001.) Quinn came in one spot behind J.J. Watt despite having twice as many sacks. Then again, Robert Mathis won the league sack title and finished even farther back. Still, this year's list hasn't been as bad as it has been some years. Maybe before too long, we'll see Alec Ogletree, Tavon Austin or Greg Robinson crack this list along with Quinn. Maybe even that Bradford guy.

* Rookie free agent profiles are underway! I wanted to get the first five up all at once; after that, I'll get as many of the rest up as possible as time permits.
