The St. Louis Rams promise a more unpredictable offense under new coordinator Josh McDaniels. The first glimpse comes Saturday night in the preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts.
Running back Steven Jackson noted all teams are playing catch-up after the lockout, but felt good about the team's progress in the new system. Jackson often had to slog for yards in last year's conservative attack that eased quarterback Sam Bradford into the NFL, but there's anticipation he'll be more of a receiving threat this year.
