By Bernie Miklasz ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Saturday, May. 08 2010 Three comments on the Rams: — There is no such thing as "minor" back surgery. Since the start of the 2006 season, Rams running back Steven Jackson has handled the ball 1,377 times from scrimmage, more than any NFL player. SJ runs in a physical, punishing style that puts him among the league leaders in broken tackles. Will Jackson be able to hold up under more pounding? We don't know the answer to that. But we do know this: The Rams had better get serious about finding and establishing a legitimate No. 2 running back. — Unless the Rams plan to add a veteran offensive tackle, they'll be taking a risk in the pending trade that will send Alex Barron to Dallas for linebacker Bobby Carpenter. Are the Rams really prepared to start rookie Rodger Saffold at right tackle to team with the second-year Jason Smith at left tackle? Both are talented and highly competitive. But will Saffold and Smith have the experience to provide solid protection for rookie quarterback Sam Bradford? — All of that said, Barron isn't a winning player. He's committed 43 false start penalties and 13 holding penalties in 74 NFL starts. And he's allowed a total of 15 sacks over the last two seasons. And Carpenter should provide an upgrade at weakside linebacker. I guess the Rams figure they'd rather battle with young players who want to get better, and who will get better, rather than stick with a proven underachiever in Barron.
