Things were already going to be tough enough for Jeff Fisher and the St. Jake Lamb Jersey . Louis Rams in the NFC West. Trapped in what is considered to be the toughest division in the league, featuring the defending champion Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers, the team many believed to be the second best team last season, improving on their 7-9, 4th place finish was going to be tough. The preseason loss of quarterback Sam Bradford to a torn ACL in his left knee, the second time in two seasons hes been wiped out with the same injury, will be devastating to the Rams chances of having any tangible success this season. Before his Week 7 injury last season, Bradford was once again showing the skills that led to him being the number one overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. He had 14 touchdowns and four interceptions before shredding his knee. Of the 20 quarterbacks picked number one overall since 1976, only JaMarcus Russell and Alex Smith will have started less games than Bradford in their first five seasons. So where do the Rams go from here? Assuming no late season moves are made, journeyman QB Shaun Hill will take the reins as the starter. Hill has not started an NFL game since 2010 while he was a member of the Detroit Lions, but the veteran made 26 starts between 2007 and the last time he was in the opening lineup. He threw 16 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for the Lions in 2010 and 13 touchdowns and 8 interceptions for the 49ers in 2008, the two seasons where hes played in at least nine games. The big men up front have become even more important for the Rams and the health of left tackle Jake Long is already in the spotlight. Trying to work his way back from his own ACL surgery, Long is one of the best offensive linemen in the league when healthy and will be needed. Even before the Bradford injury, Fisher had talked about the importance of their running game and the success they need to get out of Zac Stacy and Benny Cunningham. Stacy last season rushed for 973 yards and seven touchdowns, but really came on in the season half of the season as he was given more of the load to carry as the season progressed. Cunningham has been more of the story in the preseason as he has pushed himself further into the Rams backfield plans. At this point the two look to be sharing the position heading into the season, which is probably the right move for a team that might need to keep the ball on the ground more than originally planned. Defensively the Rams head into the season with what could very well be a breakout unit of players including defensive end Robert Quinn who is one of the best pass rushers in the game. Last season his 19 sacks were second only to Indianapolis Colts Robert Mathis who led the league with 19.5. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is known for getting the best out of this type of player and Quinn could very well be on track to have an even greater defensive impact this season. Chris Long will be rushing the quarterback from the other side and he contributed 8.5 sacks to the cause last year and as Quinn becomes an even greater and more known entity, Long will find himself in a lot of one-on-one situations and could see his number rise back into the double digits as they were earlier in his career. Alec Ogletree and James Laurinaitis will both be once again big players at the linebacker position for the Rams. Ogletree was responsible for 95 tackles, a 98-yard interception return and six forced fumbles last season and in his second year in the league even more will be expected of him. The Rams are a talented team that could still cause problems but in the tough NFC West, it would have been hard to see them improving on their standing with Bradford and even harder to see them do it without their star quarterback. Jarrod Dyson Jersey . In the other Group A game, the Czech Republic stunned Canada, 5-4 in a shootout. Dominik Simon scored the deciding goal in the tiebreaker. The United States scored its first three goals on power plays. "Overall, I love to see the power-play goals we were able to get tonight," said U. Andrew Chafin Jersey .J. -- All those records, all for naught. http://www.diamondbacksteamshop.com/Diamondbacks-Jeff-Mathis-Kids-Jersey/ . Nick Holden scored two goals and had an assist and the Avalanche held off the Nashville Predators 5-4 Saturday night for their fourth straight victory. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Toronto Blue Jays went limping home from their long, losing road trip. The struggling AL East leaders lost infielder Brett Lawrie and right fielder Jose Bautista with injuries and fell to the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 Sunday. Toronto was 3-7 on its visit to Baltimore, Yankee Stadium and Cincinnati. Lawrie, twice hit in the left hand by pitches earlier in the week, sustained a broken right index finger when he was hit by a pitch from Johnny Cueto in the second inning. The team didnt immediately announce how long he would be out. "Its definitely tough," said Lawrie, who said he expects to be placed on the disabled list. "Were big pieces of the puzzle, especially (Bautista). Its tough on the team to not have all its bullets. We just have to keep on grinding." Bautista left because of tightness in his left hamstring, manager John Gibbon said. The All-Star outfielder had a single and a sacrifice bunt before leaving. Cueto pitched eight effective innings and Todd Frazier broke a 2-all tie in the fifth with a two-run homer off R.A. Dickey (6-6). Toronto has lost five of six, and has dropped five straight series. Cueto (7-5) gave up three runs -- one earned -- and leads the NL with a 1.86 ERA. He gave up seven hits and struck out eight while winning his third straight start. Gibbon became just the latest opposing manager to be dazzled by Cueto, though he also was impressed by his own starter, who got two extra days of rest after his last start because of a sore groin. ""I thought (Dickey) was pretty good, except for the home-run ball," Gibbon said. "Thats been his nemesis. It was a hot day, but he stayed out there. Cueto was just a little bit better. Hes good. Hes in a different class." Aroldis Chapman struck out the side in the ninth for his 13th save. Cueto led off the fifth with a bunt single. One out later, Frazier lined his team-leading 17th homer of the season, and the sixth allowed by Dickey in his last four starts. "I felt good," Dickey said. "I gave up nine hits, but I think only two or three of them could be described as hard--hit. Chris Owings Jersey. I think all but one of my earned runs over my last four or five starts have come on home runs. Thats tough to overcome, especially against a guy like Cueto. I knew it was going to be a scrappy game from the beginning." The Reds had their own injury concerns. Second baseman Brandon Phillips left the game in the middle of the fifth with a bruised right heel, and Cueto had to shake off a hamstring cramp to stay in the game. "When Frazier hit that ball, I went back to tag and I felt it," Cueto said through a translator. "It was just a cramp." Frazier is tied with Pittsburghs Andrew McCutchen and Baltimores Adam Jones for the most home runs in the month of June, each with seven. Edwin Encarnacion led off the Toronto eighth with his 24th home run, connecting against his former team. He hit a pair of three-run shots Friday night while Toronto was coming back from an 8-0 deficit to grab a 14-9 win. The Reds used Encarnacions error at first to take a 1-0 lead in the first. With Frazier on first and two outs, Phillips was safe when Encarnacion couldnt handle third baseman Juan Franciscos throw on a chopper. Jay Bruce converted the error with an RBI single. The Blue Jays got help from two errors to take a 2-1 lead in the third. Munenori Kawasaki reached on first baseman Joey Vottos throwing error, Melky Cabrera singled and Toronto loaded the bases on Cuetos misplay of Jose Bautistas bunt. One out later, Colby Rasmus lined a two-run single. The Reds tied the game in the fourth on Bruces leadoff double, Ryan Ludwicks single and Brayan Penas run-scoring double-play grounder. Encarnacion homered off Cueto into the left-field seats. NOTES: Bautista was scheduled for an MRI on Monday. He left for pinch-runner Jose Reyes, who didnt start after fouling a ball off the side of his left knee on Saturday. ... Toronto is scheduled to open a seven-game homestand with the first of three against the Yankees on Monday. ... The Reds are due to open their second 10-game road trip of the season with the first of three games against the Cubs. ' ' '
