He looks much better this summer than last. He looked in way over his last year in the preseason, holding the ball too long, getting sacked, fumbling, and throwing picks. He is not a stud yet, but he has come a long way from last year. He is clearly better than Mannion and that was not the case last summer.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
There were more people there today then for the first practice last year so I will agree it was probably the biggest UCI crowd (but I did not go to the first two practices this year).by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
A huge crowd for the joint practice. The bleachers on both fields were packed as was one of the two end zone bleachers. Practice was supposed to start at 4:30 and at that time the chargers were out stretching on the far field but the rams were not out yet. The rams came out about 15 minutes later and did not seem to have as organized a pre-game warm up. However, I was sitting in the bleachers onby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com

Shippen, Spruce and McRoberts were the 2s on Friday. so it is really an issue of what position each of those is playing.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
I have not finished posting about Firday's practice so I will add a bit here. Normally in camp, I tend to focus on the QB and WRs in 7 on 7s and 11 on 11s. Because ofour oline's weakness last year and the big changes in the offseason, I decided to focus on the line for about 1/3 of the plays when the first team was playing. Specifically, I keyed in Hav at RG. When I was watching, he tended to holby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Goff has been inconsistent. One good throw, two bad throws. The comment about one good throw, two bad was a response to a question about Mannion. The host said that McVay had good things to say about Mannion in the off season, so how is he looking. I agree that without a deep threat or playmaker, the team will have to have 8-10 play drives to score. However, watching one day of cby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
In one of the 11 on 11 sessions, the offense starts off at the 1 and has to work their way down field. The 2s were eaten alive by the D. After a short gain, Spruce flinch on the line of scrimmage for a false start putting the offense back at the 1. The Defensive players claimed they had safeties on three of the next four plays. Justin Davis never made it out the backfield. The next play Mannion wby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
First time I went to practice this year. The covered bleachers were a big improvement over last year. I will post this in sections. The first section will be on the drills prior to the offense vs. defense. The second section will be on the 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 drills. I may make a third post about post practice. I met Bubbaram and a poster who runs a different board. As I am not sure if I am allowby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
He is battling Austin Blythe who was a 7th round pick by Indi last year for the backup center position.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Tru, Webster are penciled in as starters. Robey-Coleman is supposed to be good in the slot. Joyner's moving to free safety but may be in the slot at times if they bring in the rookie at Safety. Gaines was great his rookie season, missed a year and was not too good last year (perhaps not fully back from the listfrank injury). Do you think he is dropped down to #4 and mostly playing ST and waitingby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
One could make a strong case, that Sam deserved to at least be on the practice squad. Michael Sam had 11 tackles and three sacks that preseason. There were 20 DEs with at least one sack and 8 tackles in the preseason that year. Only 2 did not make a roster. There were 31 rookies who had two or more sacks and 10 or more tackles in the preseason between 2010 and 2014 (again, Sam exceeded thoseby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Woods is manning one of the outside spots. Reynolds and Thomas fit the other outside spot. In the slot there is Kupp, Cooper, and Spruce. Austin typically fits there too but the new admin is trying him to play in the spot where Reynolds and Thomas are fitting. As Thomas played well on teams, that is another plus for him. Without Thomas, then it seems that the top 6 WR are in good shape to make thby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
I am not sure why you are discussing week 3, he is out until after the rams play four games. So he does not count until the start of week 5.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Typically 3-4 defenses have big DTs. Brockers fit the bill. But there are no other d linemen over 305 on the roster. Cam Thomas was a FA until june 8th. Why did the rams let him leave? I know Phillips likes lighter D linemen but I would think they would bring him back and see if he could be a space eater.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams waive Randolph From ProFootballTalk: The Rams waived defensive back Brian Randolph, leaving them with 85 players on their roster. Randolph signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Tennessee last offseason. He spent the 2016 season on injured reserve after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament on the opening kickoff of a preseason game against the Cowboysby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Is it a ILB? OLB? d-lineman? Last year Olgetree and Baron stayed on the field when they rams went to nickle. They are now both ILBs if they go to 3 DL 2 OLB and an ILB is it Baron who goes off the field? Any ideas what position typically leaves the field for Williams D when they have five dbacks playing?by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
That was missing in your title.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Most teams have 4 QBs at camp (someone has to throw to the 12 WRs, 6 TEs, and 7 RBs). Currently, the rams only have 2 QBs. So if it is not resigning Thompson, they will have to add one or two more quarterbacks by the end of July.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Michael Dunn article Here is some of the article. Michael Dunn is an experienced player that is probably going to get some looks because he’s a decent technician and he’s got the necessary footwork,” Chavous said. “If not on the left side, then the right.” Dunn’s been a tackle since game 10 of the 2013 season; he started the first nine at right guard. He logged 31 starts at left tackle aby The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com

Not just a head coach change but at all levels of coaching and a change in the roster. The rams looked for players with a high football IQ. Hopefully less dumb penalties.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
Teams can roll over unused cap space from previous years. so if teams hit hit the 80 percent floor they can roll over the extra money to the next year. So at the start of the 2017 football year in March each team had 158 million in cap space plus whatever they rolled over. If a team rolled over 32 million they'd have 200 million in space and would have to meet the floor based on that amount.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com

It was interesting reading the statements about who is being trained for center reps. The OC mentioned Sullivan, Rhaney and Eldrenkamp but not McMeans or Toth. I am aware Toth was not on the roster but I was surpized McMeans was not commented on. It seems the writing was on the wall.by The Professor - RamsFootballFans.com
