As Steve Spagnuolo prepares for his maiden voyage as head coach of a team that has won only five games over the past two years, he recently was asked to identify the one position on a depleted Rams team about which he is the most comfortable.
It’s running back.
Specifically, it’s Steven Jackson.
“I think he’s one of the premier backs in the league,” Spagnuolo told Dennis Dillon of SportingNews.com. “A lot of guys
showed tremendous commitment and leadership during the offseason
workouts, but he stuck out.”
Jackson turns 26 later this month. And that’s smack dab in the middle of middle age, especially for a tailback who doesn’t avoid contact but embraces contact.
So he’s got four good years left, at the most.
And Spagnuolo will need to get the most out of Jackson that he can, if the Rams are going to get any better in 2009.
Headline should read “Spagnuolo Admits Secret Identity, Is Really Captain Obvious.”
I think Jackson can run strong past 30 years old.

Of all the great things about the new site – that blows the hardest.
WTF Florio? What R U and the NBC hampsters doing to fix this?

Take a few deep breaths, there, fella. Why not just re-register? That’s what most of us have done. I think the thing that bothers most of us is the inability to rate other posts.
