    Crazy that me choosing my family’s wellbeing over a game comes with so called fans attacking and questioning me and saying I’m selfish. No you guys are selfish for thinking that football is bigger than life. Oh by the way my girl’s grandfather passed from COVID. U understand now?

    Howard Balzer@HBalzer721
    Teams with no Reserve/COVID players: ARIZ, CARO, HOUS, LAC, NE, SEA. Teams with none now that had at least one: BLT, CHI, CIN, NYG, SF. Three teams with no opt-outs: ATL, LAC, PITT

    Wow. Just looking at the chart I’m keeping of reserve/COVID-19 cases, and realized that 30 players have been on the list for at least 8 days. Ten of those have been on for at least 10 days. Player with most is Dallas WR Jon’Vea Johnson with 12.

    I think the best high school football player I covered was Flipper Anderson at Paulsboro.

    I probably went to a day of training camp every year you were in STL. Who was the loudest coach?

    Steven Jackson@sj39
    Coach Martz always yelled at me Face with tears of joy

    What’s one thing most players enjoy the most that is rarely talked about?

    Shout out to the critical thinkers: I recall being a teen and seeing an interview where Priest Holmes was talking about his love for the game of chess. After that interview, my boys and I never stop playing.

    Rams Wire@TheRamsWire
    No other Rams opt out of 2020 season as deadline passes

    According to the NFL’s official transactions wire, Chandler Brewer was the only Rams player to opt out before Thursday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline.

    The Rams currently only have one player on the reserve/COVID-19 list, too. Rookie Terrell Lewis was placed on it last week and has yet to be activated. Defensive lineman Michael Hoecht was also added to the reserve list but was activated a few days later.

    from Bucky Brooks: Which DBs are set to step up?

    …

    Taylor Rapp
    Los Angeles Rams · S

    The league’s next great safety could play in horns if Rapp builds upon his impressive rookie season. He burst on the scene as quite the playmaker in 2019, with 90 tackles, eight passes defensed and a pair of picks (with one returned for a touchdown). Rapp’s instincts, aggressiveness and versatility could lead to a prominent role as a utility player on the second level. As a designated box-area defender, the 2019 second-round pick could make an impact as a sideline-to-sideline run supporter or as a lurker swiping passes between the hashes. With new defensive coordinator Brandon Staley intent on employing a multi-dimensional scheme with defenders aligning in random alignments within various packages, Rapp could become an all-star defender while serving as the Rams’ jack-of-all-trades.

    The teams that have done the best job of having drafted players stick in the league through this summer are the colts (67% more than expected), Falcons (52%), Bears (39%). Rams (37%), Chargers (28%)

    Doing some draft research from 2016-2019. Raiders, Jets, and Browns stand out for the wrong reasons. Raiders have 27.4% less 16-19 drafted players on their roster than expected. Jets have 27% less and the Browns are at 25.3% underwater.

    The top teams with more picks than expected on the roster are the Chargers (31%), Rams (24%), “Football Team”(21%), Falcons (19%) and Eagles (18%)

    Raiders draft picks should have led to 6 players not under contract anywhere but they have 11 out of the league. Bills and Jets are both close for 2nd worst both around 50% more than expected who are out of the NFL

    The teams that have done the best job of having drafted players stick in the league through this summer are the colts (67% more than expected), Falcons (52%), Bears (39%). Rams (37%), Chargers (28%)

    Show me a better throw. I dare you.

    goff’s as good as any thrower of the ball as i’ve ever seen from a rams player.

    when it comes to decision making skills, leadership, toughness, intelligence, clutchness… i think it’s too early to tell. either way.

    but as far as arm talent. he’s something else.

    Austin Blythe on the #RamsCamp Virtual Tailgate says “everything’s been pretty much seamless” for OL going through walkthroughs during the acclimation period. Been able to fast-track installs, now it’s about fine-tuning communication. Blythe says continuity will help w/ that.

    CB Jalen Ramsey on the #RamsCamp Virtual Tailgate, on playing full season w/ John Johnson, Taylor Rapp, Troy Hill, etc.:

    “It’s super exciting, to be honest. When I first got traded out here last October, everybody was telling me, ‘Man, I wish you could’ve played with JJ.'”

    Ramsey: “Everybody was telling me how exciting of a player [JJ] was to play with, the energy and the passion he brings to the game. So I’m finally able to experience a little bit of it, even if we’re just in walkthroughs right now. I know it’s going to turn up when it’s game time.”

    On the #RamsCamp Virtual Tailgate, Rams QB Jared Goff says his goal is to have three 1,000-yard pass-catchers this season.

    Andrew Whitworth on the #RamsCamp Virtual Tailgate, talking about setting an example for younger players:

    “Even at Year 15 (in the NFL), my appreciation and dedication to the game remains the same, and hopefully that gives them something to inspire them to be that way as well.”

    On the #RamsCamp Virtual Tailgate, LS Jake McQuaide says new special teams coordinator John Bonamego “has that same attention to detail that we’re used to.”

    McQuaide also mentioned Bonamego’s experience (coaching career began in 1987 at Mt. Pleasant (Mich.) High): “He’s been around the block, at every level. You can tell when he gets in front of the room, he knows how to run the room. He has that command.”

    Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
    On the Rams virtual tailgate chat when the defense came up, it was mentioned that Aaron Donald isn’t feeling well; before anyone panics am told it’s not believed to be COVID-related or anything like that

    Steve Wyche@wyche89
    Rams Coach Sean McVay, with a smile, said WR Cooper Kupp has served as the emergency QB in the past, but rookie RB Cam Akers, a former QB might be in the mix: “Watching what he can do, he is very capable. He hasn’t been shy about letting me know that he can still spin it.”

    Stu Jackson@StuJRams
    @RamsNFL head coach Sean McVay said Andrew Whitworth and Brian Allen haven’t had any lingering effects from testing positive for COVID-19 this offseason. They’ve been able to participate in the current acclimation period without any restrictions.

    “They’re in good shape.”

    Sean McVay says OLB Terrell Lewis is also back in the building today.

    McVay said Lewis will be able to get back to “full action” if he stays asymptomatic the next three days. That’s based on the NFL’s updated policy.

    Rams schedule: Could the AFC East go 0-16 vs the NFC West this season? A matchup of arguably the NFL’s toughest division against what would appear to obviously be its weakest

    Gary Klein@LATimesklein
    ICYMI Rams CB Jalen Ramsey is more than acornerback. “There’s a vision and goal to use to him in a way that’s never been used before.”

    Stu Jackson@StuJRams
    Malcolm Brown on new Rams RBs coach Thomas Brown:

    “He’s a great dude. You can tell his intensity right off the bat, his focus on the details of the game. His addition to our staff has been amazing.”

    PFF LA Rams@PFF_Rams
    Robert Woods has had the 6th-highest number of explosive plays (15+ yards) since joining the #LARams in 2017

    Woods has thrived in his three years with the Rams, earning the 11th-best receiving grade at the position since 2017. He has dropped just seven of his 259 catchable targets in that span, though the best thing he brings to the table is his route-running. He generates an exceptional rate of separation, and that’s helped him pick up the sixth-most explosive plays of 15-plus yards since 2017 (86). Woods has been a consistently great receiving option for the Rams, and that should continue in 2020.
