Rams Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 02:11:39 PST

For the first part of the season, it looked like the Rams' run defense was improving.

"There were flashes of (good play)," coach Steve Spagnuolo said.

But in the last two games against New Orleans and Arizona, the Rams allowed a total of 386 rushing yards, with 105 yards coming on two plays: a 55-yarder by Reggie Bush of the Saints and a 50-yarder by Arizona's Tim Hightower.

When asked his reaction to those results, Spagnuolo stated simply, "It kills me."

Asked about the problems, nose tackle Clifton Ryan told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "I don't really have any answers. Everybody's got to look in the mirror and get the job done. You've got to take pride in your job.
