Remember, i'm just a guy that loves the Rams so take what I say with a grain of salt. Whatever the H that means!
Good crowd today. Not near as many as yesterday though. Nice breeze blowing with temps around 80. It was Vamos day and they had a live band playing and free giveaways. I must say, the Rams have really embraced their fan base and these training camps are so fan centric it unbelievable.
Found Bubba and sat down to get ready for camp. He was prepared to take notes and I to take photos. I also feed him info while he was writing stuff or when using my telephoto lense to spot player numbers. I must say, we make a good team. At least we have fun working together and of course sharing our war stories with each other.
Andy, TheDuke, showed up and he is so quick to point out personnel groupings it makes my head spin. He really is a student of the game. It was good meeting up with him again.
My pictures are still uploading and of course, there are a ton of them. I'll post the link once finished.
Practice for just day 2 was very spirited. Guys are moving fast, giving there all it appears. One player that never gives up is 99, Donald. Of course we all expected that but I feel for the OL opposite him, He gives 110% every play! He even ran down field after a pass was thrown when there was no need for it!
Joseph-Day is a player! He was giving as much as he was receiving. Look at some of my pics, he's the one with his jersey being pulled off of him.
Gains is short and stocky but strong! He took on a double team and pushed them back into the pocket on a pass play and then took on the same double team during a run, occupying those two OL players. Kid has a chance to start or at least be in on certain situations.
Mke Thomas seems a little rusty. Just not fluid and his hands are not that sure. He dropped one pass but others sort of bobbled till he secured them.
Kupp is 100% recovered from what I can tell. Caught one across the middle and turned it upfield for a TD.
Gurley didn't practice but was out there with his teammates.
Wolford (QB) looks real good. nice arm. Sharp throws. Let's see if can grasp the offense.
Speaking of offense, during the first part of 11x11, Goff was razor sharp but more importantly, they ran like four different plays from the same formation and motion. How does a defense game plan for this?
Henderson is the real deal. The kid can catch, run and field punts and kickoffs. Very fluid and has good vision and cuts. He's quick more than fast. Justin Davis and John Kelly have some competition. I don't see the Rams carrying four RB's. I see it now as Gurley, Brown then Henderson. We cannot stash Henderson the practice squad, he would be snatched up too fast but more likely wouldn't even clear waivers.
Speaking Malcom Brown, guy looks fine. Just like before his injury last year.
Unfortunately, from our seats it was hard to see the o-line. All I know is that the firs fight of camp came from Demby and Donald. Didn't see what triggered it. There was a second fight with Brian Allen and I think it was Tanzel Smart. That's when McVey stopped practice and pulled everyone, and I mean everyone into a hudle. My guess was to calm everyone down. Man, only the second day of practice!
I really feel these guys are hungry and want to redeem themselves for the SB loss. They will be the team to beat!
