 St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that running back Steven Jackson has decided to end his holdout and will report to the team tonight.

 

I am sure Faulkyou is HAPPY...   Along with the rest of the fantasy people, Will SJAX be a star this year or will this be his LJ impression

There's a major difference between what happened with LJ and what happened with Jackson, LJ carried the ball over 400 times the year before his holdout.  I think Jackson will be OK, but I don't think he can be as productive as he would have been had he not held out.  He needs to fire his agent, who by the way, is advising the Bills starting LT to hold out as well.

Seeing Bulger just a little(in preseason) has me scared that he may never make it back, I hope Young gun pipes in on this one

Good news for Rams fans indeed.  I was 95% sure this would get settled, but I'm still surprised it took as long as it did.

I don't think S-Jax will miss a beat -- he should be fine.  I'm more worried about their entire offense in general -- Bulger's struggles especially.

No doubt, Bulger has looked like he did last year.  I don't know if he'll come back after that terrible '07

I think Sjax being in the lineup will help  the rams offense. Especially bulger. Being out this long doesnt help things, but having him back I think is a huge plus for the rams.

Hey guys I'm extremely excited for him to be back and I think he will have a great season unlike Larry Johnson. But no doubt I'm scared to death about Bulger. He looks shell shocked whenever he drops back and has lost a ton of accuracy. However, I believe one of the two picks he threw last week was partially Randy McMichael's fault so I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
