8 Sam Bradford, QB

Things are changing for Rams quarterback Sam Bradford this season. He has new targets in Jared Cook, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, and workhorse running back Steven Jackson is gone. That means adjustments, and Bradford is open to the changes. On the new receivers, Bradford said, “A lot of it is just timing. Everyone has different steps, different speeds. They see things and anticipate things differently. I think the biggest thing is just getting on the same page – how they see the route and how they want to run the route. Then also myself having some input on how I believe it should be run and where the ball should be caught. It’s just getting all that timing and steps down.” And on the changes in offense, he said, "I think if you look at the speed we have now compared to the speed we’ve had in past years, we have significantly more speed this year. Obviously with Steven gone, we don’t have a big, physical running back. I don’t know if it means if we’re going to throw the ball more. I’d be fine with that. I would definitely think we’d probably move more to the one back world, spread people out. I think that’s probably the direction we’re going.”
