bubbaramfan camp report 8/02/18

[bubbaramfan]

Screw sorting the notes. I'm tired and want to get this out, so it willbe kind of a jumble, but I'll get it all out.

Upper 80's and humid team came out late, McVay didn't come out until 3:15. and team stretched, warmed up. OL on field one N end, DL So end. We are on field 2 where Fassell is working ST. They use a jugs machine to punt to Cooper,# 11 Hodge, 15 Kendal Thompson, 13 Fred Brown . This drill was all about D gunners. Fassel sent TE's Safties, LB's, DE's after the returner. This was an intense drill and a lot of contact. Fun to watch!

Tip and strip drills by DB's and LB's. Lots of work on Int set up and return by DB's. Peters, Hill, Shelds and Christian looked decent in the drill.

Had QB's Allen and Perez with TE's in front of us, short passes vs air.

This far into the practice the pace was slow. I attribute that to yesterdays intense and lengthy 11 on 11 workout. But the pace picks up with the start of 11 on 11.

1st team O vs 2nd D. Reynolds drops 2 at the start but for the rest of the day I don't think he dropped another one, and more than made up for a slow start by snagging some passes against some tight covering DB;s
Goff To Woods for TD in tight coverage. Mannion with several good passes to Hemmingway.

1st team OL still whit, Saf, Sully, Brown, Hav. 2nd OL kept being switched around, Kromer getting everyone snaps . Blythe, Noteboom, Lucas, and DWilliams got a lot of snaps. Allen and Eldrencamp and even Neary got snaps at C. Williams and Lucas got snaps at LT and RT. For 2min drill, Lucas got snaps with 1st team at RT (Havenstien winded?) Demby snaps at LG and RG. Really hard to see who's in at times with the OL and especially the LB's because they have their shirts rolled up so you can't see their #'
Lots of good play in 11 on 11, Gurley is great of course. Brown Davis and Kelly all got in some good plays.

Player that stood out the most 11 on 11--Jared Goff. Goff was on fire today, throwing lazers in tight windows against very tight coverage. He made a few bad passes and had a couple dropped, but he had b far his best day of TC today.

Hemmingway had a pretty good day today, lots of targets and caught most of them.

Ryan Davis, the newest Ram signed a couple days ago, was playing inside LB next to Littleton with the 1st D, Myers @LDE and Eubekam@RDE. Wilson and Hager 2nd team ILB. Davis is a stud run stuffer at 265 and he's quick. He stopped Gurley and Brown in their tracks for no gain. Keep your eye on this guy, he came in under the radar but might be that big boddied LB the Rams have been needing.
I know I haven't given much on the d, only because I can't tell who's who with their shirts rolled up. I can say that 11 on 11's are a toss up between the O and the D. With both making good plays.

FG drill. Greg the Leg hit some long ones but missed a couple also.Not as good a day as yesterday.

Justin Davis TD run in Red Zone drill. Goof to Cooks in RZ drill.

Good practice, lots of positives. Still a lot to be sorted out so far as backups.
starting to see some guys getting more snaps than others. Pre-season games will be deciding factorfor most of the bottom tier guys.

Sorry for the jumbled report, I got most of what I took notes on out there. VetRamFan will chime in and it will job my memory on some I missed.

NO INJURIES!

Exciting to hear about Davis possibly being that run stuffer we lacked last year

I might be wrong but wasn't Davis a DE at Jacksonville?

 

[NERamsFan]

Any updates on Kiser? One of the few rookies not getting daily recognition, is he behind on x’s and o’s?

TOA!!!

The Rams playing him inside is extremely interesting, given him being mostly a rusher/lineman. I like the idea, just hope they work him hard on his drops because coverage will be the concern. But nice note man and thanks as usual for the report.

No camp for me Sat. Going to Electric Light Orchestra concert at Forum. Get to check out new stadium too.


Davis played outside too.

Good question

 

[bubbaramfan]

Have to mention Suh and Brockers. these two are meshing. Suh has been mostly NT and a freaking unmovable wall. Brockers in every play. Westbrooks in a lot with 1st team

Good report Bubba.

Here's my take.

Everette not practicing today. You probably saw the reports about his should. Joyner was dressed but didn't play. Read a report about a sore ankle or something.

Goff made a long throw down the middle to Mike Thomas for a TD (Bubba I think listed this as a TD to Woods, I got it on camera so I was able to verify). Thomas was being covered by Countess.

Higbee looked good against air. Had one either knocked away or couldn't secure it going across the middle, I couldn't tell.

Woods is Woods. See my pictures from today and look at the series of a tough catch he made. Talib was all over him. I'm sure there would have been a flag for PI.

Kupp is still the same. Mannion over threw him on a deep out route. Kupp had position on Hatfield . Goff made a bad decision on a crossing route to Kupp or he was trusting his receiver and threw in a very tight window. NRC ended up intercepting it.

There were a lot of changes to both line groups during practice. Hard to keep up with so I can't comment on any of that. Only one penalty called today that I can recall. Havenstein moved too soon, moved the ball back 5 yards. He stayed in the "game". I got a picture of Big Rob talking with Suh. Rob is taller than Suh and it looks funny that Suh has to look up to Rob.

Both offense and defense had moments today, good and bad. They are very fun to watch. I would say both sides of the ball are even and neither one is better than the other at this point in camp.

If anyone got a chance to listen to ESPN 710 radio after practice, some very good interviews. NRC and Joyner were on and both are very positive about this team. The on air personalities also interviewed Myles Simmons (D. Farr was one of the interviewers). Guys, I don't care what you say about Myles and how you feel about him, that man knows his football and handled all questions with ease. Not scripted, totally off the cuff. You can tell he has a passion for the game and this team.

Thanls for another days report. Really appreciate the time you guys put in.

Was wondering...any noticeable difference with camp this year vs. last year? Atmosphere? Swagger? Intensity? Overall play? I know I'm testing your memories from a year ago, but just wondering, and maybe you can recall something...

Go to the concert if you must, Bubba. But I will have you know, I turn to stone, when you are gone, I turn to stone.

 

[ProGen]

Appreciate the report Bubba & Vet! Glad to hear Goff is looking sharper and thrilled that Higbee looked good against air. Can't knock Hig's consistency lol

After practice Gurley seems to always work late. He ran a little. I think the ball machine was being used. No MVP priority.

The QB’s stayed late throwing to the new WR’s. Goff sort of cameout with just Brandin Cook running outs.

The All Pro’s have been staying late. No Suh or Donald staying late.
