Shouldve called it the Chargers show. Maybe a total of 5 minutes of Rams material. Oh well Anthony Lynn seems pretty cool and I'm a fan of Bosa so I'll keep watching.
I want to see more of McVay and our coaches to see how they do things behind closed doors. Also Donte Deayon is nuttier than squirrel shit but atleast he doesn't seem to have a fascination with tank tops.

The Jalen Ramsey highlights were cool.
And Deayon must be the locker room clown, in a good way. I think it's funny how his locker is in another room, right next to the bathroom door.

Hard Knocks takeaways “Lets stay with 12 personnel”
As the LA Rams debuted on HBO Hard Knocks: LA, there were a lot of hopes of seeing the ins-and-outs of the Rams at training camp. What are the Rams up against? What big drama is playing out this year?
First and foremost, the Rams defensive back Dante Deayon was hilarious. He was the main featured player, simply because he knows how to turn it on in front of the camera. He showed up when the Rams were working out, as he walked up to Aaron Donald’s workout routine and hinted at a “pose off” by calling out that he is doing a full-body workout as well. In another segment of the first episode, Deayon had a mini-protest by pointing out that he was in a “makeshift” section of the locker room. He referred to his locker area as the “project” and hopeful that he would be promoted to the suburbs section of the locker room.
Terrell Lewis there and back again
The majority of the HBO Hard Knocks: LA episode 1 focused on pandemic protocols, COVID-19 testing, and the like. If you haven’t followed along, the debut did confirm that Rams rookie OLB Terrell Lewis did test positive for COVID-19, and was assigned to the COVID-19/reserve list. Even while his status was broadcast on HBO Hard Knocks: LA, Lewis tweeted an update:

Look for the Rams to reactivate him tomorrow. The team has already cleared roster space by waving DB Levonta Taylor earlier today. That takes us to the final summary of episode one – three takeaways.
Takeaway III – The first-team offensive line appears to be Andrew Whitworth, Austin Corbett, Austin Blythe, David Edwards, and Rob Havenstein. The Rams’ offensive line was on the field when the Rams were running their starters. These five starters on the offensive line were confirmed later in the evening on the Rams Hard Knocks: The After Show online streaming broadcast.
Takeaway II – The LA Rams defense flirting with DB Jalen Ramsey all over the secondary. While difficult to make out without more reference points, he appeared to be defending the outside receiver, a slot receiver, and in deep zone coverage. So far, the defense is not sharing a single thing about the coverage scheme. This will be fun to watch in the opener.
Takeaway I – “Let’s stay with 12 personnel” was heard during the offensive walkthroughs. If there was any thought that the Rams would abandon the two tight-end formations in 2020, that seems to be temporarily nixed. In fact, I expect that with four solid tight ends, the Rams will likely stay with the heavier blocking formations until the defenses adjust to bigger linebacker heavy schemes. Then, the Rams can go three wideouts and burn defenses via the passing game.
The first episode was a mixed bag. I get it that televised broadcasts like this are designed for a national audience and that the unique design of this year’s programming was already intended to split between the Chargers and the Rams. If you were looking to satisfy your football fix, this program may actually have made it worse. It gave a taste of football, but not much more.
Give me more! I suppose that was the idea, right? I’m hooked now and am eager to view next week’s episode.

although if the defense sees the rams sub in 11 personnel they too will sub in their 11 personnel d package.

I've always felt that all these London games and the Hard Knocks appearances, excetera, were due to an inside deal Kroenke made to get support for the move to LA.

IDK, players can go in the building so maybe it was one of the hard knocks crew because they couldn't go in the building, however, there has to be some better places, but that's just me.

I thought you were saying who goes in a porta potty in GENERAL.
Every Porta-Potty I've ever seen has a toilet seat built in.
But I definitely put down a layer of toilet paper first.

Well lemme tell you, honestly I spent 1979 thru 2013 on construction sites, so of course I’m gonna plead guilty more than once, but thee very worst part of #2 in A porta potty, is, it ain’t the smell, or even the sight, no it’s the backsplash when dumping a log
lol, hope that wasn’t TMI

Just curious, but is there a delay in watching on HBO Max like there was back in 2017?
