McVay noticed. "I think David Quessenberry did a really nice job stepping in playing left tackle,"* he said. *"Alaric, you know, consistent with kind of last week in the block where he missed with taking his medicine."
Taking his medicine. That's the quiet dignity of the backup. No complaints. No excuses. Just work.
What is going on here? Is McVay making a statement about AJax literally failing to take his blood clot medicine, and Lambkins (unfortunate last name for someone covering the Rams) turning it into a tortured metaphor? Weird.

CJ Daniels catches everything. He's Ron Burgundy on a teleprompter.
Huh? Did he tell San Diego to "go F itself"? Another miss.

His lone drop drew a pass interference call on Emmanuel Forbes Jr. Had he caught it, I'd lobby and start a campaign for an induction to Canton. His lone mistake of camp was a false start penalty. It can't be all good. It can't all be perfect.
That's a lot of hyperbole for a Day 3 draft choice in an August practice. Maybe pump the breaks a bit?

Konata Mumpfield has the bounce of Tigger the Tiger.
The character Tigger was introduced in 1928 in A.A. Milne's
The House on Pooh Corner. In the 98 years since, no canonical publication has referred to him as "Tigger the Tiger." That said, I'm glad that Lambkins finds Mumpfield to be bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy and, of course, fun.

The man is earning his stripes.
I see what you did there [slow clap].

Isaiah Stewart made his presence felt throughout practice.
Though, apparently, he did not make a name for himself.
Quote
"Josiah Stewart, you felt his presence," McVay said. "I could go on and on. I mean, I really love the makeup of this group."
Thanks for the clarification, coach (though it's spelled "Josaiah).

The grind is real. The love is real.
Kam Curl said it best days ago. McVay repeated it. The vibe is love.
So, by the transitive property, if the grind is real, and real is love, and vibe is also love, then the Rams love to grind? Make sense, I think.

The unsung heroes are the spine of the team.
Well... then don't sing their praises. I'd hate for us to be spineless.
Quote
The team. One through 53. Star and backup. Starter and scout team. Household name and forgotten man.
All of them matter. All of them are needed. All of them are Rams.
Though, as noted above, not all of them can have their name correctly written.
Quote
The names you don't know are the names that will matter most.
Most? Really? More than Stafford, Puka, Kyren, Davante, Myles, Turner, McDuffie... heck, I can name all the starters and most of the backups.
Can you say "overstatement," boys and girls?
