Rams' players stand behind Fisher......article

LOS ANGELES -- If anybody is fed up, it's Rodger Saffold.

The veteran offensive lineman has been with the Rams since 2010, making him the longest-tenured player alongside defensive end Eugene Sims. For seven straight years now, Saffold has been with an organization that has been unable to progress beyond mediocrity and sometimes even falls well below that.

"I’ve seen the 2-14 team, I’ve seen the [7-8-1] team that had a chance to go to the playoffs -- I’ve seen it all," Saffold said. "Eventually, something’s going to have to change. I’ll tell you right now, the coaches are coaching their ass off. And if we can’t execute, then they get blamed. I’m sick of hearing that. It’s up to us."

Saffold's comments highlighted the central theme of the Los Angeles Rams' locker room late Sunday afternoon, after a 42-14 blowout that pushed this team to 4-9: The Rams are killing themselves with mistakes, and none of these struggles should fall on a coaching staff led by Jeff Fisher.

There may not be many outside those walls who agree.
