Perfect start to the Rams post Kurt Warner era. The greatest show on turf didn't mean offense today it was all about the defense today. They got to the quarterback 11 times. 11 times they sacked the QB. I bet that made the offense feel good. Knowing that they didn't have to do much to win the game due to the defense man handling the Saints. Marc Bulger had his best start of the season today. He was 13-26 for 199 yards. Now I know that doesn't sound like a great start but when you see what he did touchdown wise it makes sense. He had 3 touchdowns and only 1 interecption. Now compared to his first two games he already through less interecptions today than any other game. His first two games he threw 3 picks and today he threw 3 touchdowns. That will definitely help out your defense and your team win the game. But when you have one of the best running backs in the game it's not hard to pull out wins. Faulk was a beast today he was able to get over 100 yards today. Rushing for 104 yards on 10 attempts and scored 1 touchdown. He also caught 3 passes for 21 yards and 1 touchdown. He was doing it all today. You can't stop one of the best backs you can only hope to contain him. He wasn't the only back to have a good game. Steven Jackson had a decent game for not being in there very much. He rushed the ball on 7 attempts for 42 yards. The receivers didn't have outstanding games but when the defense plays like legends out there, there is no need to have to put it all on the offense. Holt had himself a pretty good day having 4 receptions for 73 yards and catching 1 touchdowns. Not too bad of a day. Bruce didn't have a crazy game but he still did enough to help them out. He may of have only 39 yards on 3 receptions but he was still able to get himself a touchdown pass as well. Now where the real story is at the defense. Let's say it again they sacked the quarterback 11 times. Leading the way was Leonard Little with 4 tackles and 4 sacks. Little had more sacks than the whole Saints team had. Tinoisamoa lead the team with 6 tackles and also got into the sack total with 2 of his own. Moran had himself 3 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Garrett, Jackson, and Polley also joined the Rams sack club with 1 a piece. But that wasn't the only club the Rams had going on today. Williams and Thomas started their own club. We're interecptions are the fee of entry. They both werw abke to get themselves a pick in this game. When your front line is putting tons of pressure on the QB its makes it a little easier to get a couple picks. The defense gave up 320 yards total. Not to bad of a day. Only 194 yards through the air keeping them out of the endzone passing and rushing. 126 yards rushing. Other than the fumble recovery in the endzone the Rams kept the Saints out of the endzone. Next week the Rams will be facing a division opponent in the 49ers. Let's see if they can keep their perfect streak going.
