EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Every week, almost without fail, opposing coaches preparing to play the St. Louis Rams go out of their way to mention the need to be prepared for what the Rams can and will do on special teams.
This week, Cleveland coach Mike Pettine was the latest to join in the praise for Rams coach Jeff Fisher and special-teams coordinator John Fassel.
"Having worked with John Fassel in Baltimore and knowing Jeff’s affinity for special-teams play and how important those plays are that we’re going to have to be on point when we’re out there," Pettine said.
