Rams Mason looks to rebound after losing first fumble A critical lost fumble hurt the most for the St. Louis Rams' rookie running back, and he is looking for a bounce-back game against the New York Giants. Rams coach Jeff Fisher is confident his young back can return to the form that earned him the starting job. Mason, a third-round pick from Auburn, was inactive the first four games of the season. Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer believes Mason is more focused on ball security. In the Week 13 win over Oakland, Mason scored three touchdowns, including an 89-yard run that is the second-longest in team history. Mason gained 113 yards on 29 carries in the Rams' win over Denver in Week 11. Making that performance more impressive is the fact Denver entered the game with the NFL's top-ranked run defense. Fisher pointed out the Giants run defense statistics are misleading. To help himself get better, Mason said he is in contact with Rams Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk often.
