According to many, James Laurinaitis was drafted to be the starting middle linebacker of the St. Louis Rams this season. Today is their first preseason game and he is fulfilling that prophecy by starting the game in the Mike spot.

Congrats to James! He will continue to work hard, and Rams fans will not be disappointed!

The Rams are in New York to take on the Jets. You can watch locally on KTVI, CBS 2 in the greater NY market, and NFL Network elsewhere. If you know where to look, you can watch online.
