musings from Irvine 8/3/23

it was a beautiful day with temps very mild low humidity and a nice breeze, unlike other years where it was hot and muggy....met up with Valley Ram(Dave) and Ramithard(Brad) and made it to the fields about an hour before kickoff...
The Rams have two fields and mix it up on which one they will have the live scrimmage, so you have to guess correctly to get a good spot....but knowing this, I did some recon and good some good info from a nice young lady who was setting up the video opps.She told me what field it would be on and I was on my way to snag a good spot.
Had a great upclose view in the corner of the endzone that they usually use and had some great looks at the action...

All in all, it was a pretty good energized practice, sometimes a little bit too much, as McVay stopped it 3/4 into the live scrimmage and pulled whole team to middle of the field and I'm guessing it was a "calm the eff down!" speech before they continued with the scrimmage.
OL was
Noteboom LT
Avila LG
1 Allen 2 Shelton at C
Anchrum RG
Havs RT
Allen and Shelton were rotation but the others were set as the 1's
DB's look very good, tons of energy and some very sticky coverage
Stafford looks very healthy and just whipping that ball
Kupp was out there coaching up
Akers looks like a new man, he was ripped and just much bigger looking
Evans looks like a carbon copy of Akers
Puka was getting a ton of targets
Atwell looked like a new man also, put on some muscle and was catching everything thrown to him....could be breakout year for him
Donald still just a game wrecker...the rookie is getting some good reps going against that monster
Young looks the part
Hopkins looks like he wants some playing time this year
Bennett is small, but has a gun.
Cobie is flat out play maker
Tre is bigger that his stats and looked good
Sko had a great catch for a first down
VJ is going to be pushed by some really good looking prospects in DeMarcus, Puka, Johnson etc...
Lake looks like our starting S along with Fuller
Not a whole lot as there is too much to take in in such a short period of time, but it was a great time!!!
Love the energy this young team has this year
