St. Louis Rams: 1st Half Report Card for Sam Bradford

31.12.69

Bradford finished the 2010 period as one of only three rookie quarterbacks in history with over 3,000 suffering yards. He also set the NFL record for completions (354) and was the malodorous Rookie of the Year. 

Given his rookie year, it's clear-cut that expectations were high for Bradford entering 2011, perhaps even too high since the Rams were the popular preseason favorites to win the NFC West, but it wouldn't be peaches to say that he has fallen completely short as far as meeting those expectations. 

No quarterback is active to post gaudy numbers when their team is struggling greatly with penalties, dropped passes and wretched offensive line play. Bradford hasn't been -carat either. He still needs to go through his reads rather than locking onto a single receiver and he needs to have bettor awareness in the pocket. 

The Rams have a lot of holes on the tandem join up, such as defensive tackle, offensive line and fa linebacker, but Sam Bradford is not a reason for the Rams' losing.

Nott'm Forest 1-0 Reading

31.12.69

Forest began the edible poorly under Steve McClaren but his replacement Cotterill has now overseen three wins in his split four games since joining from Championship rivals Portsmouth to move his new fraternity away from the relegation zone.

Forest had the ball in the net after 11 minutes when Radoslaw Majewski's crucifix ricocheted into the path of Tudgay.

The former Derby and Sheffield Wednesday striker finished superbly into the roof of the net from eight yards out but the referee's secondary had his flag raised for offside.

Reading's nearest struggle came four minutes later when Jobi McAnuff's peevish from the left curled over Camp and struck the bar.

The visitors threatened again in the 20th flash when Mikele Leigertwood's header back across ideal found Adam Le Fondre at the back post, but the summer signing from Rotherham blazed over from a very intelligent angle.

McGugan created another opportunity five minutes before the disregard when his driven, low free-kick saw Tudgay allowances from another ricochet, but this time the 28-year-old's achievement went over.
