JASON GARRETT
NFL Coaching Year: 8th year Packers Head Coach: 3rd year Regular Season: 13-11 (.542) Postseason: 0-0 (.000)
Jason Garrett was named the eighth head coach in Dallas Cowboys history on January 5, 2011. Garrett, who played for or worked alongside five of his predecessors, became the first former Dallas Cowboys player to become the teams head coach. Having literally grown up around successful head coaches in the NFL and in the Dallas Cowboys family, Garrett was a member of three Super Bowl winning teams in the 1990s during his seven seasons as a Cowboys quarterback. His father, Jim, was a personnel scout for the team for 21 years and served under every Super Bowl winning head coach and ownership regime in franchise history. As a player in Dallas, Garrett learned under championship coaches Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, while serving as a back-up to Troy Aikman in offenses directed by Norv Turner and Ernie Zampese. He went on to play for the New York Giants who reached Super Bowl XXXV while playing for offensive coordinator Sean Payton. Garrett finished his playing days while studying under Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay and started his coaching career with the Miami Dolphins, where he worked under two-time collegiate national championship head coach, Nick Saban. Garrett was elevated to the Cowboys top job after taking over as the teams interim head coach at the midpoint of the 2010 season. He went on to guide a Dallas team that had started the season with a 1-7 record to a 5-3 mark down the stretch. In the seasons second half, three of the Cowboys five victories were against teams that posted 10 regular season wins, while the three Dallas defeats were decided by a combined total of seven points. In 2007, Garrett became the Cowboys offensive coordinator under head coach Wade Phillips, and in 2008, he was assigned the additional duties of being the clubs assistant head coach. Garrett returned to Dallas in 2007 as the offensive coordinator after spending the previous two seasons tutoring the Miami Dolphins quarterbacks. As a senior at Princeton University in 1988, Garrett was named the Ivy Leagues Player of the Year and honorable mention All American. He earned his degree in history in 1989, and moved on to the NFL as an undrafted rookie free agent with the New Orleans Saints developmental squad. After being released prior to the 1990 season, he spent the fall of 1990 as an assistant coach at Princeton. In 1991 Garrett moved on to play in the World League and the Canadian Football League before joining the Cowboys practice squad in 1992.

In 11 of his 16 seasons in Tennessee, the Titans defense ranked in the top 10 against the run and ranked fourth in rushing defense over that period (Baltimore, Pittsburgh, San Diego). In 2003, the Titans nished rst in the NFL in rushing defense for only the second time in franchise history (1993). On the offensive side of the ball, Fishers teams nished in the top 10 in rushing yards per game eight times during his Oilers/Titans tenure and from 1995-2010, only ve NFL teams averaged more rushing yards per game than Fishers clubs. Additionally, in 12 of Fishers 16 seasons, the Titans nished with an average time of possession of more than 31 minutes per game for the season. Fisher believes in the philosophy that a strong running game helps control the clock and keeps your defense fresh. In 12 of his last 14 seasons in Tennessee, the Titans nished in the top half of the NFL in rushing offense, including seven top 10 nishes. Additionally, in 12 of the last 15 seasons, the Titans nished with an average time of possession number of more than 31 minutes for the season.

QUOTES TO NOTE
If I had a franchise, what coach would I hire? His name is Jeff Fisher. He is so good. Hes still young enough that he can relate with the players on the team. Hes one of the brightest, if not the brightest, coaches in the league. As a former player, he knows how to work a locker room. Hes just sensational. His schemes on defense are very good and imaginative. Hes got everything. -ESPN.com Senior Writer John Clayton Jeff is one of the most competitive and intelligent players that Ive ever coached. He was not overly gifted as a player, but he made up for it by being the fiercest competitor and one of the most intelligent people that Ive known playing this game and thats been the hallmark of his coaching career. He understands the entire game and is a leader more than anything else. He will be in command of the entire team. The Rams will reflect Jeff Fisher and the kind of person he is. It will be a great era for the Rams. - Former Rams Head Coach John Robinson Jeff has a history of developing fundamentally sound but physically intimidating football teams. St. Louis is fortunate to have a leader for its franchise with such impeccable credentials. - Falcons President Rich McKay, with whom Fisher cochaired the NFLs Competition Committee In 14 years of NFL football, Jeff Fisher is one of two coaches that I have the most respect for. The St. Louis Rams are lucky to have Fisher as their head coach. - Former Rams and Titans DE Kevin Carter
LES IS MORE
Les Snead was named Rams general manager on February 14, 2012. Just three weeks after taking his new job, Snead executed a trade that helped jumpstart the Rams rebuilding efforts. In early March, Snead sent the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft to the Washington Redskins in exchange for the sixth and 39th selections in this years draft as well as Washingtons rst round picks in both 2013 and 2014. When draft day arrived, Snead made two additional trades which parlayed the teams General Manager Les Snead original rst round pick into four 2012 selections. The Rams acquired a third pick in the second round in this years draft when they traded the sixth overall pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for the 14th and 45th picks. Snead then sent the 45th pick to Chicago for the 50th pick as well as a fth-round pick in this years draft. When all the dealing was done, the Rams made four of the rst 50 selections in the 2012 Draft, and Snead and the Rams selected 10 players who they believe will help the team return to the top of the NFC West. Sneads meticulous effort on draft weekend told only part of the story of his early efforts to retool the Rams roster. On the opening day of free agency, Snead signed Pro Bowl CB Cortland Finnegan, formerly of the Tennessee Titans. In the coming days, Snead also led the efforts to acquire Pro Bowl C Scott Wells and DT Kendall Langford, an ascending player whom the team views as a key building block on the defensive line. Sneads rst free agency class included 14 veteran free agents whom the club will count on heavily in 2012. In his role as general manager, Snead oversees the clubs personnel department and scouting efforts while partnering with Head Coach Jeff Fisher to direct all personnel decisions for the club. In addition, Snead coordinates all aspects of the clubs football operations with the head coach. Prior to joining the Rams, Snead spent 13 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. He served as the clubs director of player personnel from 2009-11 and also held posts as a pro scout and as the Falcons director of pro personnel. Snead helped construct a roster that has been one of the NFLs best over the last few years. From 2008-11, the Falcons had four consecutive winning seasons, winning 43 games during that time, which are the fth-most wins in the NFL over that time period. Atlanta earned playoff berths in each of the last two seasons and three of the last four seasons, including a 2010 NFC South Championship. The Falcons participated in one Super Bowl and two NFC Championship games during Sneads tenure with the club. Snead joined the Falcons after three seasons (1995-97) in the pro scouting department of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was hired by the Jaguars prior to the franchises rst season and helped put together a team that garnered an AFC Championship Game berth in just its second year of existence. Jacksonville won its rst division title in Sneads nal year with the team. Snead played tight end for Auburn from 1992-93 and was part of the Tigers perfect 11-0 team in 1993. He also earned Southeast Region Academic All-American honors during his college career.

AN ELITE CLUB
Steven Jackson kept his streak of 1,000-yard seasons alive as he rushed for 1,145 yards in 2011. He has now rushed for 1,000 yards in seven consecutive seasons, which is the NFLs longest active streak of consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. He also extended his own team records for most consecutive 1,000-yard seasons (seven) as well as most overall 1,000-yard seasons. With seven straight 1,000-yard seasons, Jackson is in elite company. Only six other running backs in NFL history have rushed for 1,000 yards in seven or more consecutive seasons. The group includes Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin, Thurman Thomas, Eric Dickerson and LaDainian Tomlinson. Of that group, Smith, Sanders, Thomas, Martin and Dickerson are members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tomlinson retired this spring and isnt yet eligible for induction.
There are only three running backs in the NFL who hold the franchise rushing record for the team that they currently play for: Jackson, Carolinas DeAngelo Williams and San Franciscos Frank Gore. Jackson has rushed for 9,093 yards for his career, which leaves him just 907 shy of 10,000. Should he reach the milestone this season, hell be the 27th player in NFL history to do so. However, Jackson would be just the 15th player to rush for 10,000 yards for one team. Of the 12 players who have done so with one team, 10 are in the Hall of Fame. Rams Career Rushing Yards Leaders Steven Jackson (2004- ) Eric Dickerson (1983-87) Marshall Faulk (1999-2005) Lawrence McCutcheon (1972-79) Dick Bass (1960-69) Yards 9,093 7,245 6,959 6,186 5,417
RB Steven Jackson owns the NFLs longest active streak of 1,000-yard seasons. His current streak sits at seven-consecutive seasons with 1,000 yards or more.
CENTURY MARK
RB Steven Jackson rushed for 100 yards or more in four games in 2011, and he now ranks second in Rams history with 31 career 100-yard games. Jackson needs seven 100-yard games to tie Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson, who rushed for 100 yards in 38 games, for the most in team history. During a mid-season stretch last fall, Jackson rushed for 100 or more yards in three consecutive games. Career 100-yard Games in Rams History
RB Steven Jackson
In addition to holding the franchise mark for rushing yards, Jackson is on the cusp of breaking Faulks team record for career rushing touchdowns. Jackson rushed for five touchdowns in 2011 to give him 52 career rushing touchdowns. He currently ranks third in Rams history in the category, but hes within striking distance of both Dickerson and Faulk. Jackson enters the 2012 season needing just four scores to tie Dickerson and six to tie Faulks franchise record.

LONG ON TALENT
They say sacks often come in bunches, and thats the way Rams DE Chris Long collected them in 2011. Long finished the year with 13.0 sacks, which ranked seventh in the NFL. In Week 8 against New Orleans, Long enjoyed his first three-sack game of his career to help the Rams to a victory. Long set a new career high in sacks last season. His previous best was 8.5 in 2010. During a midseason stretch, Long recorded at least one sack in seven of nine games. He also enjoyed a stretch DE Chris Long in which he had at least one sack in sixconsecutive games, a new career long. He had sacks in four straight games in 2010. With his 13th sack, Long equaled his Hall of Fame fathers career high for sacks in a season. Howie Long had 13 sacks for the Raiders in 1983. Long led the Rams in sacks, quarterback pressures (15) and quarterback hits (16). His play helped the Rams collect 39 sacks as a team last year. 2011 NFL Sack Leaders 1. Jared Allen, MIN 2.

NEW ADDITION
WR Steve Smith joined the Rams as a free agent in March, and St. Louis is hopeful that the former Pro Bowler will be a reliable target for QB Sam Bradford. Smith had his 2011 season cut short due to a knee injury, but just a couple years ago, he was one of the NFLs most productive pass catchers. In 2009, Smith led the NFC and finished second in the NFL with 107 receptions, which set a new Giants WR Steve Smith record. He also finished third in the conference in receiving yards (1,220) and earned an invitation to the Pro Bowl. Prior to signing with the Rams, Smith already had a connection with Head Coach Jeff Fisher. Both men played at Taft High School in Los Angeles before attending USC.
FAMILY BUSINESS
When Chris Long recorded his 10th sack in Week 12 against Arizona, it allowed him and his father, Hall of Famer Howie Long, to record some pass-rushing history. The Longs became only the second father/ son combo to each record 10.0 sacks in a season, joining Clay Matthews and Clay Matthews, Jr. Howie reached 10.0 sacks in three consecutive seasons (1983-85). Matthews did DE Chris Long so with the Cleveland Browns in 1984, and Matthews, Jr. reached 10.0 for the Packers in each of his first two NFL seasons.

CORT IS IN SESSION
When free agency began in early March, the Rams quickly moved to land their top target. That man was CB Cortland Finnegan. Finnegan played for Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher for five seasons in Tennessee, where the Samford product developed a reputation as a feisty, aggressive playmaker. Finnegan was named to his first career Pro Bowl in 2008 and earned Associated Press All-Pro honors. He also earned first-team All-Pro honors after he led the Titans with 20 passes defensed and finished tied for sixth in the NFL with five interceptions.
CB Cortland Finnegan
Finnegan has been a model of consistency throughout his career. Hes started 42 consecutive games, the fourth-longest active streak among NFL cornerbacks. Longest Active Streaks, Consecutive Starts By a CB Games 1. Ronde Barber, TB 199 2. Brandon Carr, KC/DAL 64 3. Drayton Florence, BUF/DEN 45 4. Cortland Finnegan, TEN/STL 42 5. DeAngelo Hall, WAS 34
Linebacker James Laurinaitis once again found himself atop the Rams list of leading tacklers.
DANDY DANNY
WR Danny Amendola played in just one game in 2011 due to an elbow injury he suffered in Week 1, but as 2012 approaches, he hopes to pick up where he left off. In 2010, Amendola led the Rams with 85 receptions for 689 yards. He finished ninth in the NFL and fifth in the NFC in catches in 2010. He also averaged 11.3 yards per punt return. In 2009, his first season on an NFL roster, Amendola caught 43 passes for 326 yards in 14 games. He surpassed both totals by midseason in 2010 and added three touchdowns as well. In addition, Amendola was one of the leagues best on third down. His 29 receptions on third down were third-most in the NFL in 2010. The former Texas Tech Red Raider led the NFL in all-purpose yardage in 2010 with 2,364 yards. Amendola was the only player in the league to lead his team in punt return, kick return and receiving yardage. Amendolas 85 catches in 2010 ranked 13th in Rams history for a single season. Hes caught at least one pass in every game since joining the Rams in Week 2 of the 2009 season, a streak of 31 consecutive games with a reception.
RUSHING ROBERT
The Rams used the 14th overall pick in last years draft on a young pass rusher who they hoped would help them get after the quarterback, and DE Robert Quinn showed why he was highly coveted in April. On the season, Quinn recorded 5.0 sacks and finished second among Rams with 14 quarterback hits, trailing only Chris Longs 16. In addition to his role on defense, Quinn DE Robert Quinn was an asset on special teams. Against the Bengals in Week 15, he partially blocked a punt, which was the third time last season he either blocked or partially blocked a punt. In Week 8, Quinn blocked a punt that led to a Rams touchdown and sacked Drew Brees. Quinn was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts against the Saints. Quinn tied Sean Gilbert (5.0 in 1992) for the third most sacks by a rookie in Rams history.
SAFETY FIRST
S Quintin Mikell, who signed with the Rams as a free agent prior to the 2011 season, provided an immediate impact on St. Louis defense. The nine-year veteran was a part of five takeaways in his first year as a Ram. Mikell finished second among Rams with 100 tackles a year ago. He trailed only James Laurinaitis in stops. Mikell also had one sack, two interceptions and four forced fumbles. Mikell, who spent his first eight NFL seasons with the Eagles, boasts career totals of 5.0 sacks and 12 interceptions.
The return of WR/PR Danny Amendola will give the Rams offense a boost. In 2010, Amendola was Sam Bradfords favorite target.
