Steven Jackson

I still remain pretty optimistic because as I predicted, Jackson is going to quit on his team, most likely through a "lingering" injury. Portis and Jacobs need to get it in gear a bit and I think I could be just fine out of this. I must admit Jackson is playing quite a bit better than I expected.

 

 

Jackson vows to finish season

 

BY BILL COATS

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

12/21/2009

 

Friends and family have quietly suggested to Rams running back Steven Jackson, who has been playing with a herniated disc in his back for a month, that it might be wise to call it a season.

 

"It's been whispered in my ear," Jackson acknowledged. "That's from people on my side looking out for what's best for my future."

 

Jackson is having none of it. "I love football and I love this team," he said Sunday after the Rams tumbled to 1-13 with a 16-13 loss to Houston at the Edward Jones Dome. "I only have two more games to play in this season. So, I'm just going to gut it out."

 

Jackson's refusal to abandon his teammates hasn't gone unnoticed in the locker room, fullback Mike Karney stressed.

 

"It says a lot to this team; you couldn't ask for more from him," Karney said. "I love the guy. I'll put my body on the line for him any time."

 

Said Brown: "We're thankful for his effort week in and week out, what he does and what he contributes to this team. That's just a testament to his willpower, his heart and to his character."

 

"Guys like that, that's who you want to play for," Karney said. "And you don't have enough of them in this locker room. We need more guys like that."

Regular Season Final results:

 

Jackson: 243.9 points...rank 8th

Grant: 234.0 points.......rank 10th

Slaton: 161.4 points......rank 29th

Jacobs: 154.3 points....rank 33rd

Portis: 74.1 points......rank 60th

 

Clean sweep for the Duchess and myself: $10 for each player Sjax outperformed, and an extra $10 for him finishing in the top 10....$50 total.

 

Paging Seahawks21 :wacko:

Yeah, yeah. PM me your Paypal info or address to send a check to. Grant made a decent run at it, but none of the other guys end up in the top 28? Somebody didn't want me to contend in this little wager. I've got to give it up to Jackson, he had a good season and didn't quit on his team.
