......McVay and the coaching staff of the Rams appear to be ecstatic about the progress that he’s making as a rookie.

AJ Rose, RB​

Jake Funk started the game at running back and is likely inked-in as the primary backup to co-starters Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson. Funk played well in limited action despite struggles on the inside offensive line - he rushed for 16 yards and took one catch on a screen play 10 yards.

But the offensive line started to open up holes towards the end of the first half and into the second, and perhaps the biggest beneficiary of that was running back AJ Rose. Rose may have been the team’s best back against the Chargers, though the 2.4 yards per carry on the box score doesn’t do his effort justice.

Rose ran well through contact and was an effective player in the passing game. He may be able to pass Raymond Calais on the depth chart by the end of the preseason.

Did anyone else observe that pathetic block by Bobby Evans #71?

Did anyone see that pathetic air tackle by 35

That little WR for the chargers Michael Bandy #83 was impressive

Yeah he's a slippery little bastid.

One thing I noticed was when the Chargers D-lineman ran an inside/outside "stunt" on Bruss and Evans and they looked lost and both missed their assignments. Wonder if Bruss could play better with Hav out there. On the left side, the Chargers pulled the same stunt with Alaric Jackson and Anchrum and they handled it beautifully.

He doesn't have ANYTHING to prove to fans at this point. If he is showing out in practice, why in the HELL would McVay put him in pre-season games to prove some point? So that some journeyman looking to score a big play can blow him up? To appease a few doubting fans?

If McVay plays him, he plays him. But I think there will be a goal. And that goal won't be to prove anything to a few fans.

That’s a good point. 90 man rosters are full of undisciplined, desperate players looking at their last chance to make an impression. Best to not take chances against them with players locked into the 53 man roster.
