My training camp(s)

[So Ram]

You're getting me too HYPE about Bennett! Thank you my friend!

Well he threw Cooper Kupp a TD pass.It was classic Cooper Kupp.
He set up the DB & found space. Bennett led him perfect(Kupp looks a 1/2 step slow right now imo) & Kupp as he did for hours & hours as a little boy laid out & grabbed it.Fans finally got FIRED UP.Basically a mello practice from a Fans standpoint.Hard to follow up & down the field.
The defense was winning there’s,but I followed for a flow of the practice looking at different rotations & formations.
—There was a lot of POWER & miss Direction plays.They ran Hopkins in motion (PERFECT) blew up a DB/LB/DE whoever was there.It seemed like almost 2 players were in motion & then Cam Akers.
When Demarco said 2,000 yards I’m all in.My 1,300 was imo conservative,but a VERY REALISTIC number.
I know I always go all over the map ,but still have to add to what I saw & felt. Bennett would always seems to bail out of a play & find that seem running out of bounds 10 yards down the field.He almost looks like Wolford & Perkins as 1.He runs the off well & the ball as well.
What is his 40 compared to say Baker Mayfield? I can use that comparison as a walk-in QB who was in the NCAA Championship.

What I know out of 3 QBS I’ve never seen before as Rams.He was by far The Best QB.

Thx So Ram for reports. Sorry I couldn't be there. VetRamFan and I will be there Thursday though.

You’re a Legend as well BubbaRam.I see you around,but have always just been my own person.It’s not like I’m unsocial by far,but my craziness is who I am in my own mind. I’m not some internet guy. I love Following The Rams & being so lucky to have this so close to home. Goes back to UCI days & Jackie Slater at the end.
I could ride my bike from where my dad use to live.)past).I’d say I would have been able to take my dad if he lived that long.
—It’s sad the way he past & how his wife really did my sister(me,nephews) at the end.I use to referee high schools sports with him.At 78 he was a JV(varsity) Varsity umpire doing 1 man games.When he went into a dugout at Santa Anna he said I’m giving it up as he took off his gear. The kids were like you were the best ump all year.
That said I always stayed a Rams Fan.My mom lived (moved) in land & was closer to San Diego & live JR.from SC.
See told me about the Ryan Leaf & how they hazed he by walking out on him with a $6,000 bill.He showed his true ME first attitude.
My Mom loved The Rams they HATED GEORGIA.
That all said I’ve been blessed as a Rams Fan & showed a couple friends that experience.
—Thanks again BubbaRam. I’ll find a way of getting you guys a beer & maybe come out of my shell? I OWE U

 

[So Ram]

Drew? Gotta be the oldest guy on the team...

Yeah - is this the WORST Ram Lost ? I’ll agree.Was it ??? Freaking Crazy to look back in away.
Not many Ram Fans EVER view things the way I do.

Bennett
Free style —
Rams beat Tennessee
(Fisher)
Rams lose Miller & Carter to them.Which IMO were 2 players who were STUDS (Leaders) of both the Offensive Line & Defensive Line RESPECTIVELY!!
They continued that with them for the Titans.

Then The Rams got Bennett
& then The Big TE & Dumb as well a long with that sorry azz HC. I have to give Fisher credit. He knew what was going on. Yesterday Inhad a chance to honestly thank Kevin Demoff.I was with someone & twice I amost said something to him.Wasn’t sure what I wanted to say.Thank you was what I wanted to say,because he has made ALL THIS HAPPEN. If I get that chance again today I will.I not one of those Fans or people that get excited or bother STARS.
IMO Kevin Demoff was the architect of where they are today.He brought in Les Snead & is a Bug Part of Sean Mcvay being The Rams HC. He is sort of like the Big Pappi.He is hands off hands on type of guy.He is the one who holds people accountable.
I Ramble,but I think he brought in Jeff Fisher as well ? Bennett was way back & just a bust.I can’t even recall when he was a Ram ?

Would really like to meet you So Ram. No worries bro, I've been razzed my whole life for being "different". We both love our Rams and I'd be pleased to talk Rams with you over a beer. I'll be hanging with VRF in the handicap area on Thursday. we're easy, come hang with us.

 

[So Ram]

As for the offensive Line goes ?

I don’t know I’ve liked some players better than others ?

Joesph Noteboom has always been a player I cheer for.
Anchrum never thought much of
for some reason(size).

Noteboom was The Rams starting LT for the most part.
He was in & I told this guy they were in motion & watch Noteboom.He pulled from let to right & turned once he got to the edge & turned back to block & seal. BEAUTIFUL Play Call & Design.
Noteboom just DOMINATED Byron Young all day from what I saw.
Alaric Jackson would alternate with him & late in the practice screamed to put Noteboom in.First day in Pads,but he looks BETTER than ever !!!!
Anchrum was play RG & he fits as a guard.As much as I haven’t liked him he looks strong.It takes players from College to The NFL to get that body frame.
He is an example.Everyone on here last year liked him in the preseason.His injury sucked & A.Jackson played that RG position well in his absence.
— Shelton might have been with the first team ?
—Brian Allen looked sore afte the first drill snapping to the QB’s.
A. Jackson is BIG,he does well.LT is going to not be a concern IMO.

Steve Avila is just a pure Guard.He locks up well & holds that LG spot down well.He really helps The LT to relax.He can be trusted on stunts & supporting the inside pass rush.
—Rams pass rush is questionable????

Really didn’t watch the defense like usual.That will be what I do today.

 

[So Ram]

Had to add a couple things Robinson & Johnson were signing autographs.Robinson will make this team WAY Before
Cutch.
To each his own.Saw that there is concern about the team being too young.Right I don’t see it that way. — continue.

The Offense IMO is set Perfect with Vets to Rookies.There is really not a young group.
-The Offensive Line is set for Depth.There practice squad is going to be full of Talent!!!

 

[So Ram]

The Defense- I LOVED BOBBY BROWN.He made a Big Play & started pounding his chest.That got me Fired Up.Let him know my appreciation.

There is #50? Don’t know why he keeps standing out? Learning numbers isn’t easy. Ernest Jones didn’t standout to me,but wasn’t watching him much.
—Rozeboom looks like a core special teams player.That’s a way to make the roster.
-Hummel was alright.There are some big boys out there though.

Was on the sidelines & not watching ,but the Defense stop the offense a few times early in practice.I think the group in whole is solid.

 

[So Ram]

Pleasant was excited for this tackling drill.He lives the PP thrust when thrust. He had this thing he built to keep your body low which forces you to keep your head down. Each player did it once with at least 3 groups of DB’s.
-Fuller is looking good.
RR8 - came across on a play & couldn’t hold up & knocked Cam Akers on his butt. I cheered & let him know it was a good hit playing hard.He is playing special teams so he will be getting playing time.
Didn’t notice Yeast ?

 

[So Ram]

Pass rush ? Byron Young was unimpressive.My GF loved his white pants & said she had a picture of him.He helped me out in that way.

Hoecht is basically taking over for Floyd at OLB LDE. Copland is on the inside as DE.

That’s about it from day 1.

#50 is Ryan Smenda out of Wake Forest.

Too funny!

Thanks for these reports So Ram.

 

[TexasRam]

BRB, gonna grab my So Ram translator 5000.

 

[So Ram]

#50 is Ryan Smenda out of Wake Forest.

He is a physical guy.I like him as a rookie.He will be fun in preseason to watch? Thanks

 

[So Ram]

Too funny!

Thanks for these reports So Ram.

You know I was WRONG about Ben Sko.Didn’t see him today.He stayed after practice yesterday.
Saw on training posting here Cooper Kupp got hurt today.Didn’t see Sko at all.Kupp was warming up early.

—Today she came a long and got a couple laughs.Her report was Bryon Young is hot up close.She liked his build & real tight pants.
We viewed the defense asked me questions.
During the scrimmage she liked #23.He would make a play & then run back to the sidelines.Then here he comes again. He had a TD perfect pass from Stafford.Then he ran for a TD. Plus kept making plays.
Atwell had a tough day.Missed at least 3 passes.Funniest thing she saw was he almost had a TD pass & was trying to play it off like it was a TD.I don’t know who it was,but he just SMACKED Tutu.
We were LOAO.That guy just Smacked Tutu.He want that TD & then smack.It was just funny.
She said here is the smallest(skinnyest)guy on the field.

 

[So Ram]

Haven’t looked at any reports so just going off what I saw.Tried to get a feel for the defense.

Probably the most impressive player yesterday from the defense was Larrell Murchison.
First time I’ve seen him live really at least in The Bull Ring & 1 on 1’s.

The Rams inside pass rush is going to be good.No AD99 sight from me.

Bobby Brown has power,but Zach Thomas showed he can hang a little.I’ll keep to D’Front.Brown will be a disruptor.He has a explosive first step.

K. Turner keeps showing up.A good rotation guy.Johna Williams,Copland, &D.Johnson .
all working hard.

 

[So Ram]

I guess I keep missing Ernest Jones.Don’t know what his reports have been?

This #54 really is physical.I think he might have been the guy who hit Tutu upside his head.Kelichi seems like a player.He has a little attitude as well.

For some reason Hummel & Rozeboom are in a bunch of those drills. Just nothing exciting there. I don’t know & didn’t even notice Shula ? This group I can’t say good or bad really.

Oh - yeah Hummel was working hard.He is high energy & gives up his body.He was doing a drill & was like the Tasmanian Devil.You see this circle of dust & he is rolling around on the ground coming to his feet like nothing.I was thinking what the heck was he doing.Just going crazy like to get to where ever he was trying to go.Sort of funny to see actually.
I was hot where they were at the time out in the Sun.Those young guys stood out they were high concentration.Trying to work on getting through open space.
There were 3 groups going at a time. LBers, DE:OLB DT/DE
I was in the middle,like I said my GF came found me & was why didn’t you tell me you were this close.She was a Fan of #0 for sure.

Hoecht has always been an interior DL player and gained weight because the Rams asked him to add weight to play 3T behind Donald. Then they move him to 5T at over 310 lbs? He was learning the position as he played last year. Now with a full year to learn the position and his experience last year, he's going to be potentially a very good edge. When he was a rookie, I compared his measurables and times to AD as an example of how athletic he is.

Michael is essentially a second year player but I think he could have an excellent year. He brings speed and power to the DE position which compliments Young on the opposite side who brings power with elite speed as a Leo. If Morris has a brain he will play Hampton as a SAM behind Young to allow Young to simply tee off on the snap. Floyd had a great year when he had Ebukam playing SAM behind him. Remember Phillips used a SAM to control the edge and flats and Pleasant was on Phillip's staff coaching DBs. With Mathis and Hardy they could play a WIL behind Hoecht with Jones in the middle controlling the A gaps. The Rams are going to play a lot of mobile QBs, and using a SAM and WIL will control the edges and flats.

The Rams have the personnel on defense to play aggressively. If they do this is a top 10 defense next year. The only impediment is Morris and his bend not break good enough mentality.

 

[oldnotdead]

Oh BTW Gaines is turning heads in Tampa. Morris cost the Rams an outstanding 1T NT which are damn hard to find. Meanwhile, Bobby Brown playing as a 2 gap 0T NT is looking ..... "ho hum" is putting it nicely. Suh and Vida Vea are prototypical 0T NT and Brown doesn't look to be in that class.

 

[snackdaddy]

I forget about Murchison. I thought he looked pretty good in his limited time last year. I would think he'll be part of the rotation that sees plenty of snaps.

What him say?
