A nice camp report by dpjax…

Here’s dpjax…

Rams camp 8/8/23

made it out to camp today for the last practice in Irvine.

JJ running drills on sidelines during 11 on 11s wearing number 43

Higbee seemed limited today

My standouts - Witherspoon and Tomlinson on D. Kyren Williams and Puka on O.

McVay stopped practice a couple times to gather everyone at midfield to coach them up. Ran practice about 20 minutes past the scheduled stop time.

looked like Davis Allen in shorts and t shirt catching balls on the far field.


Here’s my voice notes for the day.



Ethan Evans booming 60 yarders also doing good job of putting the ball out of bounds inside the the 20. He kicked one on the point of the ball putting a nasty spin on it that Tutu had trouble fielding but he ended up holding on.



7 on 7 Witherspoon breaks up a short pass over the middle by Stafford



7 on 7 Stafford rolls out to his left with McVay rushing him Stafford trows 10 yard pass to Kyren Williams



Nice catch by Zach Evans down the left side line about 25-30 yards from Bennett



nice off schedule throw from Stafford rolling out left hitting Puka down the left side line for about 30-40 yards.



11 on 11 Stafford pitch out left to Williams defense stuffs the run.



Nice deep pass from Stafford to Van Jefferson for a touchdown



Pass by Stetson Bennett out to the right 15 yards down field should’ve been intercepted by Jason Taylor did break it up though.



both first string and second string defenses are playing the run really well.



Nice catch by Demarcus Robinson at the front of the end zone from Bennett about 25-30 yards down the middle



Starting O line LT Jackson LG Steve Avila C Colman Shelton LG Joe Noteboom RG Rob Havenstein Good to see he’s back out there after the neck strain



Second string online LT Zach Thomas LG McCallister C Brian Allen RG Ancherum RT Bruss.



Brett Rypien with a scramble up the middle for about 10 yards



Deep pass from Bennett for McCutchen but great coverage by Tomlinson, and Lecounte came over to take a swipe at the pass, ball falls incomplete.



Cam Akers continuing to bull through people not shying away from contact



Now Brian Allen’s running with the first string offense



Stafford on his second or third option throws over the middle to Tutu Atwell but it’s broken up by Witherspoon good coverage by secondary

Tutu blanketed by Cobie Durant with Jordan fuller right there as well on a mid range throw down the right side by Stafford, incomplete



Starting team is practicing two minute drill Stafford with a quick 10 yard out to the left side good diving catch by van Jefferson, run back to the huddle spike the ball



10 yard pass to puka Nacua over the middle of the field crossing right to left gets out of bounds



Stafford with a short pass out left that looked off target to Brycen Hopkins bounced off his hands as he had to reach back but seemed Stafford was telling him that he should have stopped when he turned instead of continuing to run



Ball over the middle from Stafford tipped by Jordan Fuller intercepted by Quinten Lake and he falls to the ground to “end the game” and the two minute drill



Practicing field goals now with full team Tanner Brown hits what looks like about a 30 yard field goal then he hits from 35 then he hits from 40 hit’s again from 45 Missed Wide left from 50 then Makes it from 50. Kids got a pretty good leg it looked like he had room to spare from 50



Nice catch over the middle by puka Nacua being covered by Ernest Jones

Stafford tried to stop throwing motion mid throw ball slipped out of his hand incomplete

Second string line Warren McClendon left tackle Zach Thomas left guard Brian Allen Center McCallister right guard Logan Bruss right tackle



Jonathan Taylor breaks up a 35 yard pass down the left side intended for Christian Sims from Stetson Bennett



Looks like it’s time for red zone drills full 11 on 11 Brian Allen’s back in the starting line with Joe Noteboom at right guard



First play, pass from Stafford to Van Jefferson over the middle hit him at the 10 probably wouldn’t of made it in the end zone
