It la be the first time he a been at Frk stadium since . 13, 1980, when the redskins played their last Home game in what turned out to be his final year. The week before the redskins routed san Diego 4017. The chargers offensive coordinator was a Young coach named Joe Gibbs. You know the rest of the Story.

Sack an it i win. Nothing would make me happier he said. A a in a hate to go to Frk and be pm saints expect harder game with healthy rams no a in pfc rpt pc. By Ken Peters Anaheim Calif. Apr the new Orleans saints had it easy the last time they played the los Angeles rams. Saints coach Jim Mora says sundays rematch will be an entirely different Story. A this Lime they re healthy. They be got their Guys playing a Mora said. A they re doing a Good Job now. Its going to be a totally different  the rams Hope so. In the saints 24-7 Victory sept. 15 at new Orleans the rams were lifeless and ineffective. Quarterback Jim Everett spent most of the game either trying to avoid the saints relentless pass Rush or picking himself off the ground after Pat Swilling or Rickey Jackson had dumped him on the plastic grass Sac ced five times by new Orleans and pressured practically every time he dropped Back Everett completed Only 6 of 17 passes for 71 Yards. And los an one round of a 16-round fight.  Chino on a acne to Misiph i liar a  t. Gelest Rushing game Wasny to much better amassing Only 77 Yards on 20 carries. That game was in some ways the Low Point of what has been a Low year for the Kams 3-5. Their offensive line ravaged by injuries was a Patchwork that did no work. Everett was in the midst of a passing slump and the rams defense also riddled by injuries  keep the saints under control. Although the saints dominated the Tine of scrimmage that time Mora seems to think that game did no to portray the real rams. A i think they do Good at both pass blocking and run blocking a Mora said said. A i think the rams have always had a great Deal of respect for their line. They be always been Good up there. A they have Good players and Are  rams coach John Robinson was philosophical following that loss saying it was he said he a approaching this game essentially the same Way he toes All games a we talked about it the first meeting you talk about each game a Robinson said. A you talk about things that Are real. You always talk about what you need to do better. Although Robinson said a they Are outstanding anywhere a he prefers meeting the saints on the natural turf at Anaheim stadium. A a they Are tougher at Home a he said. They have a great up the Field pass Rush on artificial turf and a great Field goal kicker Morten Andersen a Robinson complimented the abilities of Swilling and Jackson and said of the rams difficulties handling the pass Rush in their earlier meeting a we were in disarray in the Middle of the game the last  a couple of rams who Haven to played much this season Are expected to play extensively a Rookie comeback Todd Lyght and running Back Marcus Dupree. Lyght will replace four time All pro Jerry Gray As the starter on the left Corner. Gray apparently slowed by a knee operation last year has been the victim j1htn, on8 passes this season. Being a Rookie i know i will be tested e a Lyght said. A for us to have Success i know i have to have Success Early and Gam the respect of their offensive coordinator. Dupree who was out of football for after sufferin8 what was thought to be a career ending knee injury in the Usel signed with the rams last year but Hasni to played much. ,0� 1�?o1juy w training Camp has kept him sidelined most of this season and he played for the first time late in the rams loss at Atlanta last sunday.
