Game 1: vs. Saints

09/06/98

By the Post-Dispatch Staff

Quarterbacks (B)
Banks bashers can't blame this one on him.

Offensive line (D)
Too many penalties; too many tipped passes.

Running backs (F)
Four RBs combined for 4 fumbles, 39 yards on 20 carries.

Receivers (B)
Bruce is back; Kennison contributed; but there were a couple of drops.

Defensive line (B-)
Strong against the run, but not enough pressure on QBs.

Linebackers (C)
Slow to react on dump passes to the flat.

Secondary (C)
Deja vu: TE feasts on Rams; Saints got a free TD on trick play.

Special teams (D)
Six of Rams first 7 series started inside their 20 thanks to penalties and lackluster kickoff returns.

Coaching (F)
Decision to sit both Holcombe and Hill defies logic.
