Rams Rookie OLB Daniel Hardy 'Has Flashed' at Training Camp When the Los Angeles Rams traded for outside linebacker Von Miller last season, he provided a spark for the defense off the edge. Miller would become a key member of the Rams' defense, helping propel them to a victory in Super Bowl LVI. In his eight regular season games with the Rams Miller amassed 31 total tackles, includingby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow It probably doesn’t feel this way to the QB but players described him to me as “creating a pocket of zen” in middle of the field and when they have that they can flow a bit freer in orbit. Super savvy in run fit installs. LBs seem to be doing more/not just reacting to front perro grande @iamGTF Replying to @JourdanRodrigue Can you spot a differby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Fast, even in some of this light install. Floyd is in his happy place. Hollins has something to prove. Garrett and Lewis clearly have developed. Eager to see how the young guys, especially Hardy and Whitley. Hard rotation to crack this year but they are very twitchy Andrew Miller @Millerhouse Replying to @JourdanRodrigue How are the DE's lookinby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Yep - long way left in camp though. You can see he and Lewis have developed. Darren O’Bannon @DarrenOBannon1 Replying to @JourdanRodrigue Does Chris Garrett have a shot at cracking the rotation? 8:12 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow My opinion: Shelton. Funk (special teams). Van. Akers. Lewis/Garrett combo. Hoecht and Copeland. Ernest. Brad Bolt @BradBolt1 Replying to @JourdanRodrigue Which players are expected to take a big leap this year? 8:04 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow I think we are qualifying the concept of “CB2” incorrectly and along those lines I think there’s some versatility in this group that may pleasantly surprise people Greg Pop-a-bitch27 @Cane_Troll2787 Replying to @JourdanRodrigue Who’s been standing out in the secondary, any early candidates for CB2? 8:20 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Last year was the year he took the next step in a big way, but absolutely get what you mean, and yes! Andrew Miller @Millerhouse Replying to @JourdanRodrigue Does it look like this is the year Nick Scott takes the next step? 8:37 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

I hear that Kendrick has been playing amazing! Other than him who’s been the most impressive rookie so far? 8:21 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Leonard Floyd sees a more confident and healthy Terrell Lewis in training camp Skyler Carlin The loss of Von Miller in free agency has loomed large for the Los Angeles Rams throughout the offseason. With Leonard Floyd being the team’s most proven edge rusher, the veteran edge rusher can tell that Terrell Lewis spent time during the offseason to improve his game. Lewis has dealt withby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Music to my ears. When Rams keep hitting on those Kate rounders then you know it’s been a good draft and the pipeline remains full.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
I do believe that this secondary could be both very good and very deep this year. Another example of the Ram synergy of good scouting, Snead selecting, and coaches developing. They make it look easy when it’s really not.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s Merlin… There was a time when I thought Long might be an answer in the slot. But given the way things went last season I don't see anyone offering an answer there unless they were brought in this year. It's a wide open job IMO. If Hill gets it I'll be a bit disappointed but we'll definitely be better there vs last year. I want a guy in the slot who teams don't like challenging. Thisby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s Merlin… Last year's secondary would have been run out of the playoffs if we hadn't added Von. We were weak in the slot whenever Ramsey wasn't lined up there. Forget where I saw the stats but we were in the bottom group in slot yards allowed. So the Rams drafting two slot corners and bringing Hill back were not coincidences. They know they need to be better this year in coverage. Theyby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Robert Mays @robertmays · Follow Main takeaway from 2 days at Rams camp: The staff here is in love with Allen Robinson. From his approach in meetings to what he can give them in this offense. His route tree and where he can line up are more varied than they’d even hoped. Potential monster year incoming. 3:14 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Leonard Floyd says he can see Terrell Lewis is bending and rushing with some real confidence in his knee in this training camp. 2:47 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Pads go on Friday, per McVay. Leonard Floyd says that’s a great feeling for players - because they get to release a lot of built-up stress and anticipation “on someone else” (not just the hit sled). 2:43 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
From WestCoastRam… Also, Troy Hill with another interception in camp. If this keeps up, it sure looks like Cleveland were lost years and he hasn't really lost his ability to contribute and contribute at a higher-than-average level. Put me in the camp that if we can strengthen the secondary from last year we won't feel the lack of heat from the pass rush as much.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow You can see that chemistry building between Stafford and Robinson in the red zone. They’ve tried a few different placements through their first live week together. Fun to watch, tbh 2:22 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Ball could’ve been placed a couple feet higher in my humble opinion - Robinson was reaching over the back of Kendrick, who made a hell of a play. He keeps showing up in big moments this week. Stu Jackson @StuJRams Another endzone PBU by Derion Kendrick, this time on a jump ball for Allen Robinson II. 2:20 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Rams have some corporate guests in the stands today. Team is going through install and Aaron Donald is standing on the side with Greg Gaines. Lots of “AARON!!!” but this year also a little “GREG GAINES” mixed in there, too. Warms the heart. 12:55 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Jul 27, 2022 QB John Wolford just put together a nice series in team drills in the phase where the Rams run the twos against the ones (as noted previously). Highlight was a thread over the middle to Blanton, who made a really nice catch with a small workspace to do it.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Jourdan Rodrigue @JourdanRodrigue · Follow Biggest celebration of the day: Rookie CB Derion Kendrick breaks up a would-be TD catch in the end zone, target was Allen Robinson - and Jalen Ramsey (play sheet in hand) called the defense’s shot to the sideline ref just before the snap, too. Kendrick having a heck of a start. 1:52 PM · Jul 27, 2022by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic Glad they are giving Bruss some reps but what does that say or do to Ancrum and Evans? Seems like a hint that Bruss is very high on the RG pecking order. BTW, forget about Evans as a RG. That ship has sailed. He’ll make it or not as a RT backup. I’d bet the under on that, too.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Random Ramsdom: Will ascendence of Tutu Atwell impact bringing back OBJ? CliffJackson Following an underwhelming and, unfortunately, short rookie season, many fans wrote off Rams receiver Tutu Atwell as a “miss” from McVay and Snead. Atwell is incredibly small for the position, and did not record a single reception during the 10 games he dressed. However things may be starting to clby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
A snippet from today’s Jourdan column… With the Rams spelling Brian Allen at times (for similar reasons as the aforementioned veteran players, although Allen did participate in some of the practice) and Coleman Shelton moved to center, guard Logan Bruss got installation reps with the first-team offensive line (he and Shelton are competing for the job when Shelton isn’t backing up Allen at centby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
To run it back, Rams must forget the recent past IRVINE – When last we saw the Rams on the field – those of us, anyway, with enough seniority to bypass OTAs and mini-camps – Aaron Donald was running around SoFi Stadium pointing to his ring finger, signifying the championship adornment he had just earned. I hope he’s got a secure enough vault for that thing. Championship rings keep gettiby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
