After having a light, “de-load” day on Sunday, the Rams were back at it on Monday with players in pads and the competition turned up a notch. Matthew Stafford and the quarterbacks were throwing once again after getting Sunday off, so it was a more eventful day at UC Irvine.

Here are some updates from Monday’s practice, with a couple of highlight-reel plays from Allen Robinson and Matthew Stafford.

Allen Robinson is going to be a monster in the red zone
Robinson brings a different skill set to the Rams’ receiver room, using his size and physicality to win contested catches. He showed how dangerous he is on 50-50 balls with a great grab over Robert Rochell in the end zone.

Robert Rochell had an up-and-down day
Rochell is a promising young cornerback entering his second season, and there’s a chance he’ll even be a starter this season behind Jalen Ramsey and Troy Hill. He just needs to be more consistent, which was a trouble spot for him last year.

Team reporter Stu Jackson tweeted that Rochell made a great play to pick off Bryce Perkins on a sideline throw for Tutu Atwell, showing off his ball skills.

But in addition to allowing a touchdown to Robinson in one-on-ones (in the video above), he gave one up to Cooper Kupp on a pass that couldn’t have been put in a better spot.

Right on the money.
