It was good to meet up with @VeteranRamFan and @bubbaramfan hopefully between the 3 of us we are able to share quite a bit of what we saw.

Some of this may be a repeat from earlier.
Trammell was out fielding punts from jugs machine well before anyone else. Tells me he knows what he needs to do to earn a roster spot. Puka, Xavier Smith and Kyren Williams joined in on fielding punts. IMO Smith and Puka looked more comfortable fielding punt and getting moving up the field.

As mentioned Tuesday the WR room is loaded with talent. In 11on11 it appeared the DBs had enough of the crowd cheering for big catches, they were breaking up passes and getting physical. The WRs and TEs were getting open on crossers but the deep passes were covered well most were broken up.

Tomlinson an K Williams looked to be the leading contenders for kickoff returns. Robinson dropped a couple.

The run game was hit and miss with a few well blocked plays giving the back about 5 yards before contact. Several runs were stuffed at LOS. Tutu took a sweep and got the corner and was gone.

Ethan Evans has a leg, he was booming punts close to 50 yards and pretty accurate eith hitting coffin corner.

It looks like the linemen on both sides have seen enough of each other. Got heated a few times. 98 Carter ended up on the ground and apparently Bruss was responsible for it and received a shot to the face mask after Carter was helped up.

McVay stopped practice and gathered the team for what I assume was a reminder of what he expects to see from them. I didn't notice any scuffle, so maybe it was just getting chirpy and he wanted to nip it before it got to heated.

Ramball- I left after Mcvay stopped practice.Traffic took 50 minutes compared to 20 on Monday.

Got a glance at CB’s & what looked like part of the starting D as of now.

I was talking out load in a group & it always works to get in a conversation.Some guy said to me #23 isn’t (whoever) he said That’s Kryen Williams.

I said #23 is Whiterspoon who looks like The Starting CB right now.He said no & I said yes,but it’s also Williams number on Offense who is in BLUE.
#23 is Whiterspoon in WHITE!

He looks BIG & Physical. The Rams spent there money well

Thanks for the info!

Exciting hearing Witherspoon looks to PERHAPS be a sleeper signing.

Also love hearing the battles going on between the talented WRs and young DBs!

Witherspoon being a starter is kind of good news bad news. It does help to have an experienced vet in the secondary. Less break downs in coverage. But it also takes valuable snaps away from the young guys who will be around for the next 3 or 4 years.

Say what ? What you can’t teach is size. Then having a veteran to mentor players is a good thing.

Taking Reps away ? I think DK1 got some real good experience last season.

If you are talking about reps I NEVER understood. CUT KENDRICK he is horrible? Wtf / to ALL THE HATERS.

As I would say to ALL The Raheem Morris folks They can kiss his B-A if you want to read (lick)between the lines.

Ben Sko is going to have a hard time getting on the field as a WR IMO. He looked good only because of what I saw outside of scrimmage. During the scrimmage these WR’s are making plays. Puka looks electric & feel good. I gave him crap from afar because he missed a Punt. The special teams coach was in his ear talking to him about his approach??

Anyways - playing time is earned. DK1 last year earned his starting spot. Tomlinson Will continue to grow as a player.His size is a concern.

If Witherspoon comes in and has the best season of his career... the Secondary could actually turn into a strength. The safeties are very promising.. Durant is promising.. you can be functional with Kendricks, I believe.

We'll see.
