St. Louis Rams beat crumbling Dallas Cowboys 34-14 | Jim Haslett 2-0
Since there has been so much writing about the 2-4 Brownie squad (still supposedly guaranteed to finish 9-7), I figured it is time for the St. Louis Rams to get some blog time at 2-4. Yesterday the Rams stuck the Cowboys 34-14 in the Edward Jones Dome, even if them ‘Boys were without Romo and Pacman. But the greatest addition in this scenario has been Jim Haslett leading the St. Louis Rams.
The interim coach is now 2-0 and obviously has the minds and ear’s open from his over achieving players. Though we hav
e all seen this offense be potent in the past it is really the defense that is now overachieving. “It was short and sweet,” quarterback Marc Bulger said of Haslett’s pre-game speech when he thought his team was too nervous. “But it was full of explicit words.”
Scott Linehan got his first shot at head coach and failed even worse than his predecessor Mike Martz. I hated Martz but at least Martz failed in the Super Bowl once. Even more stunning is the St. Louis Haslett’s won consecutive games for the first time since Mike Martz (2004). So not to over analyze how big of a loser Linehan was I’ll leave it to Steven Jackson, “We’re having fun now.
Haslett history shows Mike Ditka left a 3-13 New Orleans team in 2000 to Haslett and he turned it around to a 10-6 playoff team the following year. Haslett lasted 5 years in New Orleans and was kind of disenfranchised when he was fired after the crazy Hurricane Katrina team went 3-13 that played without a home stadium.
