In what should come as no surprise, coach Mike Martz already is putting together his "game plan" for the Legends of the Dome game July 23 at the building formerly known as the Edward Jones Dome.

In preparation for the game, which will feature more than three dozen former St. Louis Rams, Martz has asked event organizers if there are any limits on the kinds of formations he can run.

Hey, he wasn't called "Mad Mike" for nothing.

There is considerably less at stake than say a division battle with San Francisco on July 23, but there are a few ground rules.

The format will be 9-on-9 flag football, with each player wearing a belt consisting of two flags. There will be four 20-minute quarters, with a running clock. Each team is allowed three timeouts per half, and there will be a 20 minute halftime — at which time St. Louis' latest inductee into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, left tackle Orlando Pace, will be honored.

The ball will be placed on the 20 to start each half, and a first down will be awarded for gaining 20 yards. A three-man rush is allowed with no blitzing, so quarterbacks Kurt Warner and Marc Bulger should have plenty of time to throw.
