ST. LOUIS (AP) - Brandon Gibson was lost in the shuffle in Philadelphia, which is loaded with young, talented wide receivers.

The rookie has been quite the pick-me-up with the St. Louis Rams, who've been desperate for pass catchers all year. So desperate that Gibson was Marc Bulger's primary target last week with his first seven career receptions for 93 yards.

Getting unknowns up to speed quickly has been part of the Rams' strategy while coping with injuries that have landed three wide receivers on injured reserve. They've plucked players from teams with similar West Coast offensive philosophies, making it easier to plug the replacements into the game plan.
