Observations from Rams' second open OTA session: Playmaking on both offense and defense highlights session​

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The Rams held their second OTA session open to the media on Wednesday, and there was not shortage of plays made on both sides of the ball on the practice field.

Here are some of the notes and and observations from it:

1) A chance to be vocal: Linebacker Ernest Jones was an audible presence during practice and continues to back up his words about being a vocal leader with his actions during OTA sessions.

2) Going deep: One of quarterback Matthew Stafford's best passes of the day came on a deep completion to wide receiver Tutu Atwell, who had two defenders right behind him as he made the tough catch.

3) Stafford sharp in mamba period: Along those lines, Stafford connected with tight end Tyler Higbee twice for touchdowns during the team's competitive "mamba" period. Stafford also connected with wide receiver Austin Trammell for a touchdown during the period.

4) Don't forget about the defense: Prior to the mamba period, defensive back Cobie Durant made an impressive pass breakup on a Stafford pass intended for Atwell at the goal line, stretching out his right arm to deflect the pass.

5) Applying pressure: The effort and pressure put forth by rookie defensive linemen Kobie Turner on one play during 11-on-11 work in Wednesday's session drew cheers from the defense and especially vocal reactions from his position group.

6) One more play from a quarterback: Rolling out to his left, rookie Stetson Bennett made a throw across his body to tight end Hunter Long for a touchdown during the mamba period.

7) Rookie playmaker: Safety Jason Taylor II snagged an interception against Bennett during 11-on-11 work Wednesday.

I honestly am expecting to hear good things from our offense since our defense is really inexperienced. Unfortunately that may lead to some fools gold type reporting. I wanna see them do it to more talented defenses before getting hyped up about it.

That was a real nice catch by TuTu. @Loyal will have company on the bandwagon if Tutu keeps that up.

Expect a lot from Tyler Higbee this season.

Atwell made a good catch! I think he just got lucky, didn't he? And the defenders were unlucky. They were caught in the wrong place. I think the coach will make them do more training :)

Only if he can stay healthy

I have doubts he will stay healthy the entire season
Well , he looks as good as he ever has & The Rams have probably the most depth since at least when Everett left.
IMO - I’m saying he will have his BEST career as a Ram.

They are wearing shorts, and not hitting.

Bubba has probably been drinking the beer tent out of stock during Mamba periods.
