I posted them on my facebook account. I have a bunch more. I'll post some more soon. I am going to post some pics of the brawl as well in another photo album later today. A lot of the brawl happened right in my lap. I got some great vantage points but unfortunately not a lot pics of it all! Sad

Enjoy!

Hey Ramzee, nice to see you here. Don't be a stranger, always want to know your take on all things Rams...

Thanks bro!

Going to repost this here for you guys...

Quick write-up on my time there at camp.

A few thoughts from Rams camp... I mostly watched the Rams offense vs the Cowboys defense.

WR one-on-ones: I watched the WR's go against the Cowboys DB's early on the second day and the Rams were winning pretty much every match up one-on-one. Case Keenum was the QB on those drills. They even drew a few PI's. The Cowboys seemed very over-matched in this department. Kinda crazy, given our history. Are our guys that much better this year or were the DB's just that bad? Seemed to be both.

TE's/RB's passing drills: Nick Foles was over here doing the passing in these drills and again, their LBers seemed to be over matched against HBs/TEs. Usually the running backs hand the linebackers their a**es in the passing drills but it's the other way around in the pass pro drills. Our TE's were looking like studs though. Cook had a few TD's. Including a nice one in the back of the end zone ala the old GSOT days with the crossers in the back of the end zone.

OL: I couldn't see past the Cowboys DL to see the OL drills. I know Mannion was the QB over there but I couldn't see much.

HB 7-on-7 drills: The Rams are so stacked at HB. Tell me something we don't know?! Gurley is going to be great. Mason already is in his own way. The surprise will be Pead. This guy has the right skillset to be good in this league in some capacity. The Rams are not wrong to keep him around. In fact, he had three what-would-have-been huge runs during the drills. I can imagine he probably would have taken at least two to the house. Chase Reynolds got in on some of that action too. He had a nice few runs. Mason does well running between the tackles for a small guy.

Foles: This guy throws the ball just like me... hard. He puts zip on every pass. Even in the warm ups. Just how I like it. He seemed to have very good accuracy on the day and showed nice touch at times too. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do in the live games. We may have ourselves our franchise QB. Only negative on the day I really noticed was forcing some bad throws under pressure. Throws you KNOW NOT to make. It's only practice.

Greg The Leg: Hit everything. Including a 65 yarder to end the kicking drill.

Scrimmage: Let me focus on the OL cuz that's what I typically love to do. Rams OL on the interior was giving up some a** right from the start on many plays. It looked like Foles would get the snap and have instant push in his face. This was pretty routine most of the day. Robinson looked like he was holding his own on the outside and so was Havenstein from what I saw. The interior needs some help but Saffold sat out so maybe that made a noticeable difference. When the QB did have TIME, the Rams moved the ball up the field just fine through the air. The holes weren't quite there on a lot of the runs though. We need some help there getting that push. Snap anticipation and quickness off the ball need some work for sure. Time, experience.

Fight!: Let me jkust preface this by saying, there is a special place in my heart for commraderie. I love guys who are willing to stick their neck out for their brothers and don't hesitate to do so. With that said, I'm proud of a few Rams players for coming to their teammates aid.

Rams fans were getting under the skin of some of the Cowboys on the sidelines. And they let it show on the field a few times. A lot of our younger/smaller guys are extremely fiesty. The guys who are the quickest to jump into the fray and get their hands dirty seem to be our small skill guys. Tavon Awesome, Stedman Bailey and Todd Gurley to name a few. Gurley especially was going out of his way to help his guys out, even without a helmet in isolated places on the field.

The fight broke out on field 2 with the offense. Mason kept getting knocked down in the non-contact drills and you could tell it was wearing on guys patience. I started off on the north end of the field 2 and then it ended up on the south end. Fighting up and down the field. At one point Tavon Austin was fighting a DB all by himself in the end zone and then two other cowboys jumped in. He was holding his own too. That's when the defense from field one decided to come help their guys out. Eugene Sims completely leveled some guy I didn't see on any of the videos. He was the first one of the defensive players to come over off of field one to help out the offense.

Cowboys may have started that fight but they didn't end it. Rams were all over everybody everywhere holding it down. Crazy way to end the camp. Chris Long came over to me and apologized for the fight after practice. It was a great time!!!

Nice pics and write up. I like the one of Pead. He had a nice day for whatever that will turn out to be worth.

You have an opinion on how the QB depth pans out?

dang it.. I was on the other side of the field watching our D..

funny you mention contact, because I mentioned to a fellow ram fan,as we were watching our defense against the cowboy O, the "non-contact" the cowboys were taking advantage of, and pretending to "take it to the house" after a ram defender would put a "touch" on them and let them go... the crowd on our side of the field acted like he broke free and would cheer wildly, but in a real game, the back would be down, no doubt...

sounds like the rams were playing within agreed upon contact rules, and the cowboys weren't...
I heard the roars and saw part of the scuffle from the other side, but by the time I got over to the offense, practice was called...

I think the cowboys had one long completion all afternoon, and many "non-contact" free runs...
in a real game , if what we saw was any sort of preview, cowboys might have scored once...
in red zone reps...d-back starters were good, but let's hope they stay healthy..d-back reserves were torched...

go rams

Great shots. That was a blast.

And great to see you here Ramzee. Come in often. You always bring a solid take.

That one would have been good from 75. Of course the wind at his back helped a bit.

Sorry we didn't get to see/meet you but i'm glad somebody was watching the defense. I saw pretty close to nothing of them...
