Jamie Martin

12/27/2005

Martin will hold on to the Rams' starting job for the season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, interim head coach Joe Vitt announced Monday. The quarterback, filling in for the injured Marc Bulger, got the nod in last weekend's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, going 33 of 41 for 354 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

12/23/2005

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Martin is expected to start at quarterback for the Rams on Saturday although interim coach Joe Vitt isn't confirming the starter. The 35-year-old quarterback has played in six games (three starts) this season and is 72 of 104 for 765 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. He was sidelined four Sundays ago after suffering a concussion.

12/6/2005

Martin continues to recover from the concussion he suffered more than a week ago, but even when back to full strength, he won't reclaim a spot in the Rams' starting lineup. According to interim head coach Joe Vitt, the team will stick with rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick going forward, at least until Marc Bulger is able to return from a shoulder injury, which might not happen this season. Martin served as the Rams' third quarterback this past weekend.

12/4/2005

Recovering from a mild concussion and blurred vision, Martin did not practice with the St. Louis Rams all week, but he will serve as the team's No. 3 emergency quarterback in Sunday's matchup with the Washington Redskins. Rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick will get the starting nod, with Jeff Smoker handling the primary backup duties.

12/2/2005

Martin finally is starting to feel a little better after taking a crushing blow in last weekend's overtime win over the Houston Texans. The Rams' quarterback, who suffered blurred vision and a mild concussion, hasn't practiced with the team this week, but he hopes to be available for backup duty in Sunday's tussle with the Washington Redskins.

12/1/2005

Martin was still having problems with blurred vision in his right eye on Wednesday and did not take part in the Rams' practice as a result. The quarterback, who took a blow to the head and was forced to leave last weekend's win over the Houston Texans, should be available for Sunday's meeting with the Washington Redskins, but it likely will be in a backup role. Barring any last-minute changes, rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick will get the starting nod.

11/30/2005

All tests on Martin's right eye have been negative, and the quarterback has been cleared to return to the field with the St. Louis Rams. He was forced to leave last weekend's win over the Houston Texans after taking a blow to the head late in the first quarter, resulting in blurred vision. Although Martin should be ready and available, it appears the Rams are leaning toward giving rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick the starting nod against the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

11/28/2005

Filling in for regular starter Marc Bulger, Martin was knocked out of Sunday's matchup with the Houston Texans after taking a blow to the head late in the first quarter. According to Rams interim head coach Joe Vitt, the quarterback had some blurred vision, but the team has ruled out a concussion. He was replaced under center by rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick.

11/21/2005

On Monday, Marc Bulger admitted that he will miss at least a couple of weeks after suffering a bruised right (throwing) shoulder and mild concussion in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. As a result, the Rams again will turn backup Jamie Martin to move up the depth chart and fill the void in the starting lineup.

10/21/2005

Regular starter Marc Bulger will not play in Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, according to Rams interim head coach Joe Vitt, meaning Martin will get the nod. After Bulger sprained the AC joint in his throwing shoulder last weekend, Martin came on and went 17 of 21 for 134 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

10/18/2005

Martin came in during the second quarter for the injured Marc Bulger on Monday night against the Colts and finished the game under center. With Bulger going down with a sprained shoulder, Martin was called upon and went 17-for-21 for 134 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Rams' loss.

4/21/2005

Martin has re-signed with the St. Louis Rams, agreeing to a one-year contract. The veteran quarterback appeared in just one game last season, going 16 of 30 for 188 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
