When Kacyvenski talks, Rams listen

ST. LOUIS – Not often does a linebacker have such a profound effect on his team’s offense. But there was Isaiah Kacyvenski, spending most of Sunday’s game whispering in the ears of the St. Louis Rams’ backup quarterbacks.

And for a full half of football, it seemed to be working.

The former Seahawks linebacker was doing everything in his power to give the Rams’ offense an advantage over the Seattle defense on Sunday afternoon.

“I saw that bald head over there, trying to whisper to people,” Seahawks linebacker D.D. Lewis said with a laugh. “But we had a little setup for him. I don’t think he was getting all the signals.”

Fifteen days after being released by the Seahawks, Kacyvenski was back facing his former teammates in a key NFC West game. While he was not exactly forthcoming about his role as information supplier, the man nicknamed “Kaz” did admit that he was helping out the St. Louis offense in any way possible.

“I was there seven years, so you kind of know what to expect in a certain situation,” Kacyvenski said after his new team lost 30-28 to the Seahawks on Sunday. “All I can say is that now I’m on the Rams.”

Still….

“I can honestly tell you that I almost went to the wrong bench,” he said. “I was looking for something to drink, and I started going over there out of habit. But I caught myself.”
