[Rams] Jim Haslett Clarifies Remarks About Rams RB Steven Jackson

St. Louis Rams coach Jim Haslett on Monday clarified an apparent disagreement with running back Steven Jackson after Jackson got just one touch in the fourth quarter of Sunday Haslett said Jackson didn’t play much in the fourth quarter because he was “gassed.” “I wasn’t gassed,” Jackson said at the time. “It wasn’t my conditioning. I wish he would stop saying that.” On Monday, Haslett said Jackson’s conditioning was fine and he said the running back was dragging because of soreness. “I said this yesterday and it got blown out of proportion,” Haslett said. “He got sore about the 30th play and started dragging a little bit. His conditioning was actually fine. He did a great job with that. You could tell he hasn’t played in a month. He’s a little sore, and I commend him for fighting through it and trying to get in there and play. He did a good job when he was in there.”
