Yeah, Harris certainly looks like he belongs. Man, that has got to be tough to defend.

He could be a real nightmare in the red zone. :hope:

The body control in 1-on-1 situations is pretty unstoppable. He just looks so fluid and natural catching the ball. There's no doubt Stafford will look for him in the red zone this year.
This vid is not the best representation, but
like a good rebounder he knows exactly how to adjust his body in mid air to put himself
between the defender and the ball.
You nailed it Shuie the best way to describe him is natural. Natural in everything he does as the ball is in the air.To the catch
We might have a live one Boys!!

Yes, but he needs to be careful. Twisting in mid-air is what causes core injuries. Wait.. what? Where's that damn edit button?

Because of all of the talent we have, he may not get a ton of shots,
but I'm willing to bet there are gonna be more than a few WOW moments coming his way.

Yea his body control and hands are enough to get excited about on their own, but the dude is also 6'5 and runs a 4.4 flat. Don't know how we keep him off the field this year.

Tutu Atwell makes Rams training camp debut, full pads bring energy: 10 Observations from Day 7​

Stu Jackson
Staff Writer

IRVINE, Calif. – Rookie wide receiver Tutu Atwell's training camp debut and the energy brought by full pads highlighted the seventh practice of 2021 Rams Training Camp presented by UNIFY Financial Credit Union.
Staff writer Stu Jackson shares 10 Observations from the session:
1) Atwell makes training camp debut: The former Louisville standout was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday after being place on it on July 26, and received a limited workload."It's going to be a smart progression that we put in place," Rams head coach Sean McVay said after Wednesday's practice. "He hit his yardage mark, and then we kind of just had him watch for the rest of the day."
2) New helmet attire: After quarterback Matthew Stafford hit his thumb on a defender's helmet in Monday's practice, McVay mentioned seeing other teams around the league who have soft shells on their players' helmets to soften the blow when something like that happens. Two days later, members of the Rams' offensive line and defensive front seven were sporting royal blue-colored soft shells on their helmets.
3) Kevin Carberry back: The Rams' new offensive line coach, who is fully vaccinated, had been absent after testing for COVID-19, McVay said on July 28 after team's first training camp practice. Wednesday was Carberry's first chance to work with his group on the field during camp.
4) Pads popping: The defense must have been looking forward to Wednesday and Tuesday, because some of the tackles made Wednesday could be easily heard. Defensive back J.R. Reed had a hard hit at the end of a run by running back Xavier Jones during team drills. Jones stayed on his feet – what appears to be an emphasis for both offensive and defensive players even with pads on – but anyone near the play certainly heard pads collide. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey also had a hit against running back Darrell Henderson Jr. in which Henderson also stayed on his feet, but the tackle was certainly heard.
5) No getting by Bash: Showing one of his strengths, defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day at one point during team drills penetrated the backfield for a run stop against running back Jake Funk.

6) Stafford to Kupp: In what has become a recurring theme, Stafford once again connected with wide receiver Cooper Kupp for a big play through the air. This time, he evaded pressure, then climbed in the pocket and launched a deep ball to Kupp, who hauled in what would've been good for about a 30-yard catch.
7) Darrell Henderson Jr.'s shiftiness again on display: The third-year running back had multiple moments where he displayed the same agility and explosiveness he showed early on last year, including taking a screen pass from Stafford, making a couple cuts then bursting upfield for a big play.

Day 7 and they are in pads. first thing I notice is OL coach Carburry is back and he's one on one with Jordan Merideth coaching him up. Also had him snapping the ball. New addition Jerimiah Kolone and Chandler Brewer also out early getting some coaching from Carburry.

3pm and stretching warmups start with the whole team. 10 min then they break up into position groups. We get LB's doing a drill I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish. Lets call it the "football on a stick" drill. Trainer hold a 3 foot stick with a football on the end of it, another says "go" run 5 yds and jump to try and touch it landing on a mat. VFR may have gotten some pics. Touch it high, touch it low. Hand to eye co-ordination?

Something new. OL and DL and some others with pads over their helmets. Presumably to avoid a Stafford type injury. O with blue, D with grey.

Looks like AD, A'shawn Rob, floyd and De'Sean Jax all have the day off.

On the big TV they have pos breakdown of punt and KO teams. VFR should be posting pics.

Pretty much doing the same drills as they did yesterday with a lot of special teams. Kickoff and punt drills. Landon Akers, Jake Funk, Jerimiah Haydel and ray Calias. N Otis Anderson.

10 to 15 yd pass drills with a WR or RB vs a DB. Henderson, Funk, Kupp, Calais all had good catches

11 on 11's
Some changes on 2nd team OL. Anchrum LT, Brewer LG, Allen C, Shelton RG, Noteboom RT. Shelton again got snaps a C, and again looked horrible. Evans was in a few snaps at LG with the twos. Later on they mixed it up again getting Merideth and Aleric Jackson snaps. !st team Ol remains Whit LT, Edwards LG, Corbett C, Evans RG, Havenstien RT. Allen again got more snaps in at C with the 1st team. Garrett got in several snaps with the twos.

On D with AD and Ashawn out DL had SJD, Copeland and Banks with alot of the others subing in Hoecht got a lot of snaps.

I have to give kudo's to Brian Allen. He's much improved and has held up really well against the 1st team DL. He made a couple great plays opening holes for runs up the middle, even getting hugs from McVay. Allen will be backup C.

Some notable plays

Stafford with a nice 40 yd to Kupp with Donte Daeyon covering
Funk up the middle for 5
Calias run right for nice gain
Mundt from Stafford for a nice grab over the middle. Mundt has been looking good as a reciever and he's been getting a lot of targets
Funk off tackle and some good moves to get 10

getting a little chippy out there. A lot of jawing going on.

Shelton in at C, Wolford under C, S
Shelton gets overwhelmed and Wolford is sacked.
Mundt with another catch on the left side
wolford to Landon Akers for 20
Jones get hannered out of bounds by Nick Scott
Stafford to Henderson who puts on some nifty moves in a lot of traffic to almost take it to the house
Ramsey mugs Woods and get a flag
Corbett snaps one over Staffords head
Harris nice long ball

TuTu Atwell from Stafford 12 yds over the middle. TuTu must have just arrived because he wasn't in WR drills earlier. Was surprised to see him out there. He got another couple targets. He looks like a little kid out there.

I know I'm not mentioning some guys that should. Koski and Tri Jax, Blanton, skoronik, and some other did well today too.

Defense is just to hard to keep track, they keep mixing it up.

It was a good spirited practice. Everybody got work. I kept an eye on Hopkins. He only got targeted twice with one short catch. Most of his work was blocking.

I hope this sctratches you Rams itch today!



Day off tomorrow, be back on Friday for 8th practice.

Wow.
A bit surprised to see the kudos for B. Allen.

I sure hope he can put it together. Solid depth is greatly needed at that pos.
