ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Heading into his third season, Adam Carriker believes he's finally ready to play like a first-round draft pick. The St. Louis Rams' defensive tackle was the 13th overall pick in 2007 out of Nebraska. The rookie year was a learning experience, although he was the franchise's first rookie since Sean Gilbert in 1992 to start every game and contributed a blocked field goal and a tackle for safety. Last year, he was hobbled by injuries to both shoulders and an ankle. He had no sacks, started only nine games, and made little impact. The 6-6, 300-pound Carriker said at the team's final minicamp yesterday that he's been 100 percent for more than a month.
