You didnt see any of this pub for Hopkins last summer, just sayin...
Let's see if this kid gets the redshirt, I think not
Yea nothing close to this. This kid looks great, albeit in shorts and against air. But the big thing is how much Stafford loves throwing to big targets in specifically this way. We will see more jump balls and back shoulder throws this year than we did the last 4 years combined. Not a shot at Goff, he just preferred the intermediate timing type routes. Whereas Stafford not only loves to go down the field but he loves to throw the jump ball. Both places Harris can excel in this offense.

The hype train on this kid is picking up steam fast. His hands and overall body control seem to be excellent as well which is a surprise. Wouldn't be shocked to see him get big snaps as a rookie.

Remember, remember that time Joe Klopfenstein made noise in OTA’s? Yeah, me neither.

Even if you are the CB and run with Harris that entire route…I am not sure you can defend that pass placement.

yeah, if I had to be critical I’d say Harris is a bit slow off his last plant and go so he’s not going to beat any CBs there (LBers maybe) but the throw and his smooth use of length will make it so it doesn’t matter against most DBs.

Yea his release off the LOS definitely needs to improve, but having Kupp, Woods, and DJax around will sure help in that area. But maybe another reason to put him at TE and split him out. You know McVay will know how to get him matched up with a LB or S where he should be able to win.

10 Observations from Day 2 of Rams' 2021 Mini camp​

Jun 09, 2021 at 05:37 PM


Stu Jackson -Staff Writer

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Rams players convened at the team's facility Wednesday for the second day of its mandatory minicamp. Staff writer Stu Jackson shares 10 Observations from the session:
1) Cam Akers staying with 23: Wearing his rookie number for the second-straight day, Akers will remain in that number after initially trying out 3 (what he wore in high school and college).

2) Translating energy: Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris channeled his energetic approach into throwing passes to the defensive backs and later linebackers during drills.

3) Jacob Harris' speed on display: The 6-foot-5, 211-pound rookie tight end had an over-the-shoulder catch deep down the left sideline off a pass from quarterback John Wolford during 7-on-7 work.

4) If Harris' deep catch was the play of the day, rookie wide receiver Ben Skowronek's catch in traffic near the right sideline during the same period was a close second.

5) Quarterback Devlin Hodges had an impressive pass during the same period, rifling a pass over the middle to rookie wide receiver Tutu Atwell.

6) Wouldn't be fair to praise the offense without giving credit to some of the defensive players too. Linebacker Christian Rozeboom showed off his closing speed as he ran to defend running back Raymond Calais after Calais caught a pass from quarterback Bryce Perkins.

7) Rookie cornerback Robert Rochell also had an impressive pass breakup toward the end of 7-on-7 work.

8) Lots of reps for second-year wide receiver Van Jefferson today, who as mentioned before has been called a "major bright spot" this offseason by mcVay.

9) It was good to see a healthy Taylor Rapp on the field. He was moving well.

10) 11-on-11 drills all about mental work. Only a few live throws were made during 11-on-11 work, and Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford told reporters during his post-practice video conference that above-the-neck approach was intentional. "In that period, it's more, let's get the protections adjusted, let's get the runs going off in the right direction," Stafford said.

Looks like people who don't own a smart phone are shit out of luck if they want to attend. (I have a flip phone, and wouldn;'t know how to use a smart phone even if I had one). I have a ticket sitting in my e-mail with no way to get it because I don't own a smart phone.

A big "Fuck You" to the poor and computer illiterate by the Rams.

Any suggestions?

P.S. If they require a smart phone to get into TC, forget camp reports from me.
