Saturday night was the last chance for Los Angeles Rams players to make an impression on the coaching staff and front office. It was the team’s last preseason game before final cuts are made by Tuesday’s deadline, making this a critical game for several players.
Undrafted rookie Keir Thomas saved his best performance for last. He was dominant in the first half, putting together a stat line you hope to see from an edge rusher who plays an entire game.
He had three tackles for a loss, one sack and a QB hit, consistently generating pressure on the quarterback and blowing things up in the running game. He also made another nice tackle to hold the Bengals to a 2-yard gain, but Cincinnati was called for holding so the play was negated.
His sack was helped by the Rams’ coverage on the play, but he did a nice job to keep contain and prevent Brandon Allen from escaping the pocket.
GOT 'EM! @_popcool's sack forces the field goal.
