Also, during one on one passing drills, DB's held tennis balls as receivers ran routes in effort to get in habit of keeping hands off WRs.
The idea obviously being to cut down on DPI and illegal contact. DBs allowed to drop tennis balls to make play on the ball in the air.
A couple of interesting twists on drills
uring O-line individual,OL separated the crowd and spent time pushing each other uphill among fans
Number one offensive line looked same as yesterday with a noticeable exception: Barrett Jones got work with first team at center.
Again, #Rams still not in pads but top defense continues to control the action against top offense.
List of non participants similar to yesterday: S Bryant, FB Jones, LB Millard, DE S. Brown, DL Westbrooks, C Wells, OT J. Long, DE Hayes.
DE Michael Sam also had a good showing. Beat OT Sean Hooey repeatedly in team as well as one on one pass rush drills.
Good day for WR Stedman Bailey, who continues to create separation. Still no pads on but a nice double move for a TD against Brandon McGee.
A couple players limped off for various reasons. CB Joyner exited but returned. CB Johnson,WR Blake also left early but didn't return.
#Rams off the practice field Saturday evening. Cloud cover saves the day, no problems with heat. Practice No. 2 in the books.

WRs Kenny Britt, Tavon Austin made flashy plays in practice. With Britt using his frame on one play to come back and grab a contested ball.
Not practicing Sat. for Rams: FB Kadeem Jones, C Scott Wells, LB Johnny Millard, DE Sammy Brown.
DE Michael Sam was very impressive working at left end in 11-on-11 team drills, albeit against backup players.
CB Trumaine Johnson left field during 7-on-7 drills with possible leg tweak. Didn't appear to be anything serious.
TE Justice Cunningham, who is trying to make the roster as fourth TE (Mike McNeill former spot) was limping noticeably late in practice.
Once again, the Rams had Greg Robinson at LT and Rodger Saffold at LG with the starting unit in practice Sat.
Starting defensive line has had some problems with Bradford's hard count first two days of practice, jumping offsides several times.
Undrafted rookie Deantre Harlan, an undrafted rookie DT from Bacone College in Muskogee, Okla., has shown some interior quickness.
