1. Time for the 2021 season's first data dump!
2. It was cool to see the Rams on the field in SoFi again, this time with fans in the stands.
3. The blue on blue uniforms, much like many of the players on the field on Saturday, should not be seen in the regular season.
4. There were a few players who caught my eye. Justin Lawler was one. He certainly looked like a veteran among a lot of inexperienced players. Given the depth chart on the edge, he could make the team.
5. Tutu Atwell had a couple of plays that demonstrated that extra gear. He'll have to battle Raymond Calais, though, for that punt return role.
6. Jacob Harris' physical talent was very evident. With Gerald Everett gone, I think he could see a lot of playing time (particularly in the Red Zone).
7. The backup OL did not have a good game. That's not overly concerning, as the only potential starter who was out there was Bobby Evans (who seems to be dropping on the depth chart).
8. Because the OL was ineffective, I can't say that I gleaned much information about our RBs behind Darrel Henderson.
9. Corey Bojorquez has a leg, but I still think Johnny Hekker will keep his job. Perhaps we can turn CB into a 6th or 7th round draft pick?
10. Two others who caught my eye were Ernest Jones and J.R. Reed.
11. Was it me, or were the Chargers blitzing a lot for first preseason game?
12. A lot of hype regarding the rookie QBs, some of which is pretty silly.
13. For example, Trey Lance threw a very nice pass for an 80 yard TD, and the web erupted. His total stat line: 4-14, 128 yards... and he took 4 sacks.
14. Justin Fields is also getting a lot of hype today. I still think we'll see Andy Dalton under center in Week 1 when we face the Bears.
15. It really amazes me that there are betting lines on preseason games. They're glorified practices at this point.
16. I think the starting OL needs to get some August reps. Not sure McVay agrees.
17. Malcolm Brown is a guy I may regret losing.
18. Nobody on the waiver wire/unsigned FA list really intrigues me right now, but that could change as cutdowns begin.
19. I have a new 75 inch TV and a very comfortable new sofa. If NFL stadiums want my $, they're going to have to step up their game, because my living room is tough to beat!
20. Man, I'm glad football is back!
