Great day at camp today. High's in the upper 80's, clear skies and cold brew!
Bleachers were about 3/4 full, good crowd. The Rams are really catering to the fan base. Fred Dryer was there as part of the Rams Legends, signing autographs.
I staked out a location along the fence line with the field that had the video replay screen (thanks Steve from Rams Fan United for the tip). I was right at the goal line, perfect spot to shoot up the field with my camera. Only problem when the 11x11 started, the offense was going the other direction. So run down to the far end, find no room, go up in the bleachers and do the best I can. Then they decide to switch directions again, go back towards where I started. But you guys don't want to hear about my travels so let's move on.
QB Perez got to work in rotation with Allen and Goff as Mannion was a no show. Now I'm not a pro scout or even a Cub Scout any longer but as I watched Perez do the same drills as the other QB's, I didn't see any significant difference in his technique vs. Goff's vs. Allen. So during drills all three looked good but Goff just seemed to be more confident with his throws.
So moving forward to some passing drills, Goff had the first interception of the day. Margui Christian jumped the out route. Can't remember who the receiver was.
Perez also had a interception during 11x11. I think it was Troy Hill but it sure looked like he was the intended receiver.
Bottom line for the QB position; Goff is very confident with his position, Allen actually was a little more off than Perez but didn't throw any picks. Perez is still in the running for a PS position. Today was big for him with Mannion being out.
As far as LB goes. Scales and Kiser were in together for a few series during 7x7. On one pass play Kiser followed the wrong man which left his assigned receiver uncovered and open for the completion. What was interesting is that right after that play, both players jogged off the field and went to go work special teams on the other field.
Didn't get much focus on other LB's but maybe when I look at some of my 300+ photos my memory may be jolted.
The big thing for me was Noteboom and Demby, 70 and 64. They of course were part of the 2's and lined up at the beginning with Demby at RG and Noteboom at RT. Then at some point they switched positions similar to the experiment last year with Big Rob and Brown. Noteboom looked good at RT going against Smart and I think Sebastian-Day. When they switched position, I flet Noteboom actually played better at guard! He is a big kid and seemed to be very difficult to move off of his position.
I was asked if Noteboom was starting material. I would say yes with an *. He may very well get the start ar RG during Browns suspension. Who knows after that.
There was a small skirmish during 11x11 with the 1's. Nothing big but I thought it was a little early in camp for that to happen. Can only mean one thing to me, these guys are hungry to play and hit. And hit they did! With the exception of tackling, everything else a go. Blocking, rubs, the whole 9 yards.
Speaking of rubs. Remember that rub play down at the goal line where we would have two receivers staked to either side? Both would go on a slant in at the snap with the first receiver taking his cover man with him and then causing the second cover man to get blocked out? Guess who was running through that a couple of times at speed and some walk throughs? Cooks was being the second receiver or the one to be targeted. Josh Reynolds was the lead receiver.
That's as much as I can recall right now. I'm sure some other twitter or whatever report can give you more and may cause me to recall.
Till next time, which is tomorrow but @bubbaramfan and I will be meeting up for the first time this camp so who knows how much football will be watched.
Thanks, I'll post my pictures later.
