St. Louis Rams' coach Jim Haslett on Friday made Kenneth Darby the starter for the game against the Jets in New York. Steven Jackson will sit as he continues to recover from a quad injury suffered in a game on Oct. 19 against Dallas. Darby has two carries for 9 yards in his NFL career, but believes he's prepared as St. Louis (2-6) tries to snap a two-game losing streak. "I'm ready for it," Darby said. "I've been preparing all week for it. I know I'm ready. This is a great opportunity for me, and I want to take full advantage of it. This opportunity I'm getting this Sunday is very rare for most guys, especially guys of my caliber."
