PITTSBURGH, Pa. Patrik Laine Jets Jersey . - The Pittsburgh Steelers and free agent running back LeGarette Blount have agreed on a two-year contract that will give the team needed depth in the backfield behind budding star LeVeon Bell. The 27-year-old Blount ran for 772 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns in 2013 for the New England Patriots. He added 166 yards rushing and set a team playoff record with four touchdowns in a playoff win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Steelers need bodies in the backfield after Jonathan Dwyer and Felix Jones were not re-signed after last season. Blount has 2,711 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns in 56 games, with 28 career starts. The 6-foot, 250-pound Blount also gives the Steelers a big back near the goal line to complement the 6-2, 230-pound Jones. Custom Winnipeg Jets Jerseys . Then again, he really was at his home away from home. "It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night," Shields said after pitching Kansas City past the San Diego Padres 8-0 Wednesday. Teemu Selanne Jets Jersey Authentic . PAUL, Minn. http://www.hockeyjetsauthority.com/brandon-tanev-jets-jersey-c-31/ . They have watched it from afar. And now they have seen it for themselves.Things were already going to be tough enough for Jeff Fisher and the St. 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 nneed 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 ................ 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.
