Rams’ Bradford to finish preseason as starting QB

“I grew up competing,” Darby said. “I can’t control what i've no control over, the only thing I can control is my attitude.”
“It looks like we’ll lose him for the season, which is unfortunate,” Spagnuolo said. “He was having a terrific game. Donnie’s a quality man as well as a character man and we’ll miss him.”
Avery fell and clutched his knee as the pass from Bradford dropped incomplete. He was carted off the field. Spagnuolo said Avery, who caught four passes for 48 yards in the game, would undergo surgical procedure after swelling in the knee subsides.
“He was excellent,” coach Steve Spagnuolo said Friday. “He said it best I think after the game when he said he felt in rhythm. Anytime your quarterback can get in rhythm, that’s a good thing.”
The Rams lost their top returning wide receiver perhaps for the season, adding to Bradford’s challenge. Deep threat Donnie Avery, who led the team with 47 receptions last season,Niners nose tackle Franklin signs $7M franchise ta

“He got some good quality time,” Spagnuolo said. “I’ll bet he’d be keen to get another drive or four, but we’ll see where we’re at.”
In four possessions, Bradford produced four touchdowns and four field goals, giving a team that went 1-15 last season a boost while getting its second win this preseason.
Most teams hold most of their starters out of the final preseason game. The Rams (2-1) figure to be an exception and might give Jackson some playing time, too, to give Bradford another game with the team’s top offensive threat.
Jackson played the first series Thursday and had 22 yards on two carries.
Spagnuolo said he hadn’t decided how long Bradford would play in the finale.
Spagnuolo wouldn’t say what other signs he needed to see before anointing Bradford as the starter.
Spagnuolo said Darby and Ogbonnaya were “neck and neck” and said Toston “did some things effectively” at the finish of the game.
“A.J. probably won’t make it to the Baltimore game anyway,” Spagnuolo said. “That’s not a definite, but it’s going to look like a push,Chiefs LB Sheffield out of hospital after neck inj

“We would like to see Sam put back-to-back games together and we’ll make a choice soon after that game which direction we’re going to go with the quarterback,wholesale products,” he said.
Competition to be Jackson’s backup intensified a bit when Kenneth Darby, Chris Ogbonnaya and rookie Keith Toston all played well against the Patriots. Toston had 41 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown,Liverpool footy Club Darby had 35 yards on 13 carries and Ogbonnaya had 25 yards on five attempts.
“I know you guys keep pushing for an answer,” he told reporters. “I’m not prepared to make it. I’d love to see him do exactly what he did last night.”
Bradford had a giant game in his first start, going 15 of 22 for 189 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in a 36-35 victory at New England on Thursday night. the general No. 1 draft pick from Oklahoma played the first half and done his first four passes, earning another start on merit.
“Sam Bradford was leading the charge,” running back Steven Jackson said.

Cleveland Cavaliers p> ST. LOUIS — Sam Bradford will finish the preseason as the St. Louis Rams’ beginning quarterback, at least partly because veteran A.J. Feeley might not be prepared to play.
The Rams were already thin at wide receiver, and signed former Missouri star Danario Alexander last week.
Bradford showed off his arm with a couple of long passes, showed good mobility rolling out, and looked comfortable and in charge. It was a giant step forward from the first four preseason games when he was 12 of 27 for only 81 yards and appeared a bit tentative.
Spagnuolo said it’s unlikely that Feeley, who has a sprained thumb on his throwing hand, will be prepared in time for the preseason finale on Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Feeley was named the starter before training camp, although it’s long been anticipated that Bradford will soon be the Rams’ No. 1 quarterback regardless of Feeley’s health.
