Rams Fans United - Los Angeles Rams Fan Discussion Forum

I can't do a full report, so I'll half-a it now and just add on to others later . . . . I'm sure where I'm wrong, others will correct.
My God, camps have changed since the last one I went to over 20 years ago. Twin fields, bleachers, beer gardens, concessions for a buck/two. Periodic music. A seizure in the select area. I thought it was a great turn out, but again it's been a while since I've been to one of these.

Ordinarily, I'd say it was odd for the Mayor of Inglewood to be in f-ing Oxnard, but, yup he was there working the crowd with Fred and a TV lady.

Rams arrived in 5 buses with police escort, buzz from behind me was that they had been practicing at Oaks Christian Academy before heading in. They entered the field to much cheering, led by Fish.

Quick hits:
Doing drills on both fields kept the action level up -- especially when they ran the 4 passing drills all at the same time.
Zuerlein looked good shagging punts -- go figure.
I thought Tavon looked good, but I wasn't thrilled with his kick returns -- he gave ground running laterally on one return and did his high kick thing on another. Got behind the defense on 11-11s and looked nice, imo, in goalline.
Quick in noncontact beanie, got contacted, semi-ruckus.
I have no idea about Gurley's real medical status, but he was in running drills, and there was contact going on -- I didn't notice any contact on him, but there seemed to be a lot of contact going on.
About a 20 degree temperature drop during this.

Thanks for the update

There were 7,739 fans in attendance Monday at Oxnard for Rams-Cowboys workouts. Or 5,000 more than attended a Cowboys only session Monday.


Tomorrow we will add to those numbers.

BTW,, I noticed big signs at the Rams practice in Ventura. Giant LOS ANGELES RAMS signs. Way bigger than the ones not allowed at Rams Park when the NFLN was in StLtown... Hmmm

Whoa, my sub-sub-post got moved to its own thread. Dang, now I have to act responsible-like.

Adding: I didn't follow up on the StD sign ban over there, but here there were several Rams flags on display, a couple flying at the 50 (Rams field side) -- the hard hat, sunglass older guy was in that area (you've seen the guy, I just can't get the picture loaded). A couple others flying around. A couple others that people were walking around with. I saw that signs were also being attached to the front of the bleachers, but just didn't get motivated to go down and look. I can imagine that the Blue California return BBTLAR shirts wouldn't have gone over well in STD - there were a couple in my section and an older lady went out and got one.

The guy with the"Save the Bolts" sign got repeatedly booed. Some dude with a weird hybrid Cowboy/Mexico flag got booed by the Rams fans.

Big Stan Head sign guy was there. As I was walking in, I saw the guy holding the head (so to speak) on the ground, and heard a guy talking to him mention something about the reality of the Carson situation. Yes, it was Vinny, he was there. He gave me an odd look when I pointed my oldie camera at him and clicked, but whatever.

The second best arm the Rams might have could be . . . Jeff Garcia. It was just a swing pass drill, but I thought he looked good slinging it.

As for Nick. I just want someone to scream out the NSFW nickname for him from philly -- Big D1ck Nick! Yes, one of the wonders of Reddit included a Philly teammate verifying/explaining that nickname. Anyhow, back on topic, someone mentioned his rainbow passes from the pre-season game -- those bothered me. I was hoping to see him drive something. Today, it seemed like for 1/2 hour all he did was throw soap bubbles. He did finally did start driving passes later on.

I noticed and some around me also noticed that, dang, Cory Harkey can catch the rock. Who knows? New OC might mean new, expanded role for Cory.

Defense was on the far field so I didn't catch much. But in passing drills, it seemed like our guys were getting burned.

Good stuff! Thanks for the report

Awesome stuff man! I can't wait till tomorrow. I hope it's just as crazy as it was today.
