CAMP REPORT Monday Aug 8

[RamFan503]

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, (you too merlin). It was a very spirited day today. Met up with VRF, had our customary barley pop and made it to the stands when the boys were just coming out. First thing we noticed was the punt machine out there and Kyreen Williams and Powell out there shagging punts. Williams was a full go and participated in 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 with the 2nd team. I liked what I saw. Not enough to have an opinion, but good to know he'll be playing in pre-season games.

Bobby Evans was back out there with the 2nd team at LT. Didn't see Chris Garrett. AD was there for stretching and warmups but I didn't see him take a snap. They played a lot of the backup guys at DL and DE today so maybe why they were off. Benton Whitley, Jake Hummel, Elijah Garcia, Keir Thomas and Brayden Thomas got a lot of snaps with the 2nd team. Garcia and Whitley stood out to me.
Warren Jackson was out there. I think this is his first day of participation. good to see him back.

Stafford was out there but didn't throw much. They ran a lot of 7 on 7 and 11 on 11. Wolford ran the 1's, and Perkins the 2's. I was hoping to see some of Perez but he only warmed up the wr's.

Haven't seen a lot from Hopkins but he made a couple nice grabs. Atwell continues to make good plays. He gets open and catches everything. Best play of the day 50yd bomb from Wolford for TD in traffic. Higbee with a very good day. Perkins with another couple of picks. He threw his longest pass of TC, about 45yds, it was a real rainbow with 3 DB's centering under it to make the pick and BAM!, who comes up with it? Atwell. Crowd loved it.

The starters on both sides of the ball look very good. Only guy I have concerns with is Shelton as RG. He knows what hes doing, hand placement, traps, zone, he just is the smallest guy on both OL and DL. I guess in Pre-season we'll see ho he holds up. (If McVay even plays him).

They cancelled Wed. so tomorrow is the last day of open TC. With such a workout today I don't expect much 11 on 11.

I'm very pleased by the Rams Training Camps this year. Compared to last TC, I think this is a better team. Certainly a deeper roster with better players backing up the starters. Linebacking, and defensive backs are better than last year. Noteboom looks great and the OL is deep. This team will go deep into the playoffs, barring injury at key positions.

Of course position depth and cuts won't be sorted out til after pre-season games.

Til tomorrow folks.

Great summation. So wish I could make one of these with you guys.

Cheers.

In front of everybody? Sounds kinky.

Earlier today, on the previous page of this thread, I was critical of some specific writers who report on the Rams in fan-related-sites. I started that post with a comment that I have been a "Dick" about this opinion in the recent past.

That post has received approximately half-a-dozen complimentary replies and comments. Thank you. However, Not a single one of you guys disagreed with the comment about me being a Dick!

I just want you all to know that I have noted your screen names, and I will remember. I have a List.

We all thought that this was such a widely accepted fact that nothing needed to be said.

We're waiting for one of the aggregators to "write" about it before we share our opinions in a 20 page thread.

This forum has been “Dick-free” for a while, imo.

Grammar aside, that was very hurtful.

And the hits just keep on coming.

You guys understand that I have a List ... right?!.

Tutu is making this team. His hands alone are like glue

For all the shit he took last year (including from this corner) it is really great to hear the camp reports of a guy who is determined to better himself and make the team. TuTu is this year's Brian Allen - a guy everybody doubted who refused to quit and gave his all to get better.

Good luck covering all our weapons, opposing DC's ... or to put it more succinctly: You're fucked.

Staff will look that LB off. He'll be over in the corner with the cheerleaders.

With Stafford's no-looks, I'm not so sure you need a blue font there.

I never understood the hate.

Sure I get it he was taken too high, he's small etc...

Yet, in pre-season he caught everything and caught a lot of passes and took a lot of hits.

Sure, it would be slow for a raw rookie to pick up the offense and crack the top 4. Then of course he gets hit and hurts his shoulder, which can happen to anyone.

Yes, he still might be too small and won't hold up, but you can look at his college tape and what he did in preseason last yr and you can see that the kid can play. Question is how long can he play?

To be clear ... That is NOT me.

While I also have a rose tattoo on my left hand, that's not my color of nail-polish.

Your name isn't Richard? Fuck I'm confused.
