The Leading Authority of the NFL Draft

Rams RB Steven Jackson feels he could be more effective if the team got him the ball more. "I'm kind of like the streaky 3-point shooter," Jackson said. "The more I get a chance to touch the ball, the more I get a feel for what the defense is trying to do."
 

Mandel's Take: Feed the Jax! The man is St. Louis' only big-time offensive player, yet he's rushed the ball only 33 times in two games? I know they were down big to Seattle in week one, but Jackson didn't run the ball enough when it was still a game. He ran the ball for over six yards a carry against Washington, but only had 17 carries in a game that was close throughout. It's not as if Marc Bulger is lighting up the sky, so why hasn't Jackson gotten the ball over 20 times a game? Let him spot up and extend the defense like the three-point shooter he compares himself to. Look for Jackson's request to be met this weekend as the Rams battle the Packers--Green Bay gave up 151 yards on the ground to Cincinnati last week. A World B. Free weekend could be in the cards.
