Steven Jackson Rising Star in the West


Say all you want about LT or any other high profile running back. There's no doubt that in 2006, Steven Jackson not only proved to Rams fans that he wasn't all talk and no action, but he proved it to the entire NFL.

His combination of power and speed led him to lead the NFL in yards from the line of scrimmage with 2,334 total yards. 334 over his goal on the year.

And even though he powered his way through every game, opposing defenses just didn't seem to get it, until it was too late. You don't arm tackle this guy and you don't try to bring him down all by yourself. How many times during the year could we see a pile of guys being moved by the sheer strength of Jackson just to make sure he got the needed yardage! Even a stack of them couldn't completely keep him down.

During the 2006 season, Jackson dedicated himself to focusing on his blocking skills and once he began to realize the importance of this part of his game, he appeared to relish doing it and did it with force.

With his blocking skills now honed and the world knowing he's not just a top notch runner but an excellent receiver as well, Jackson is coming into the new season with his new goal being 2,500 yards from the line of scrimmage. Wanting to not only to break Faulk's record but to set a new one.

Some say it's probably wishful thinking on his part, not that he's not capable enough to do such a feat, but because of his new backup Brian Leonard and the arrival of Randy McMichael onto the receiving scene.

But let's don't count him out yet. Many didn't believe he'd break 2,000 yards but he did. So I say go for it Steven....rock the NFL!

GO RAMS!
