    Rams being cautious about an ankle issue for SJD, per McVay. Adds Terrell Lewis’ knee is “acting up” so they will take a closer look at that situation.

    Stu Jackson@StuJRams
    Sean McVay said they’re still evaluating the run game behind Darrell Henderson Jr. However:

    “I think both X (Xavier Jones) and (Jake) Funk have done a really nice job. If they continue on this trajectory, they’re going to be a part of our plans in the running back room.”

    Kareem Orr

    Orr had a great week of camp, no question, and it culminated with a play in the red zone against the Cowboys’ second-team offense in which Orr broke up a would-be touchdown. With rookie Robert Rochell still recovering post-wrist-surgery, Orr will probably get a lot of playing time in the preseason and the Rams will get a long look at him against non-teammates, too — especially as they evaluate their depth situation at corner.

    Player- Kareem Orr
    Position – Cornerback
    School- Chattanooga
    Height – 5’11
    Weight- 195 lb

    NFL Draft Diamonds Scouting Report: Kareem Orr, DB, UT-Chattanooga

    * https://www.nfldraftdiamonds.com/2018/11/kareem-orr/

    Diamond Report

    He might not be the tallest corner in this draft but he is definitely not undersized at almost six foot. He is a strong muscular with exceptional vision & ball skills. He is tough athletic with the lateral vertical talent that matches up with many DB’s several inches bigger than Orr.

    In pass coverage have seen him play both inside & out with efficiency has the tenacity to play nickel if need be with the long speed along with the confidence to play on the outside. Plays off coverage very well, breaking in front of routes cutting them off for an INT or gets his hands in the way. Quick twitch player recognizing calls and playing the ball making interceptions, batting balls down or sizing up an RB on a screen. He has no problem diving leaping or jumping to break up a play. He is a hardnose defender with a knack for being around the ball.

    On run defense/ tackling, Orr is a strong tackler like a scud missile goes low takes out the legs of Relentlessly tracking down players or keeping them in front of himself squares his shoulders using his strength & quickness to bring guys to the turf. Versatile DB that is a sound effective hitter that can be a stud in run support.

    Be great at a slot position or has also played plenty of safety in College. He could play outside but his ability to get out in front of a wideout is tremendous. Has the power & toughness to take down much bigger players like TEs or big backs. He has the quickness, awareness tenacity to be a special talent in the nickel for the right D scheme. For many years to come. Or be a very good strong safety as well that can stay on the field on all downs.

    His Great tackling ability could make him an asset on special teams too. A DB willing to go up and make a big play. Great timing on pass plays as well, as the vision needed in the run game. Can diagnosis plays well and reads the QB’s eyes.

    My final summary is that Orr is an athletic quick twitch tough DB that has the speed & versatility to entice many scouts to give him a shot in a camp this spring. I see Orr as a late round or Undrafted Free agent that could make an in=midiate impact both on special teams & adding depth to an already strong secondary. The right DB coach could make 6 Pick Reem a household name.

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2021/08/10/rams-cowboys-sean-mcvay-offense-practice/?taid=6112a7f643b80f000119a05b&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    McVay liked the way the Rams’ defense played [against Dallas], but it was a different story with the offense. He didn’t call out any players in particular, but he did say the offense can be much better than it was on Saturday.

    “Offensively, I think we can be a lot better,” he said Monday. “I think there were some good things that we flashed, but it’s a different front – the way that we’re hitting blocks and doing some different things was new. We didn’t game plan it, but I still expect more from that group. I think we’ve got enough guys that have played a lot of football that want us to be sharper in our overall execution from one snap to the next. You might have a good play, but the good offenses, they consistently stack good plays after one another. And I didn’t think we did as good a job as I expect us to do.”

    The Rams switched most first team C reps to Allen with two days left in camp, after initially moving Corbett from RG to all C work through the spring/summer. He’s trending back toward RG now. Says a lot at once about
    – Allen in pads
    – Best option at RG
    – Yes, perhaps the run game

    11 on 11 had a new look on OL. Brian Allen was at C and Austin Corbett RG, but not always. Evans got snaps in at RG and Corbett got snaps in at C. Didn’t see anybody else play LG, LT and RT other than Edwards, Whitworth and Havenstien.

    2nd team OL had some changes also. Anchrum was the only one to play RT, Shelton and Evans played RG, Kolone got a lot of snaps at C along with Allen. Brewer and Noteboom always at LG and LT. Didn’t see Aleric Jackson out there at all today.

    I’m guessing thery’re still trying to get a feel for thier backup OL. Evans seems to be demoted. Shelton didn’t help his cause with bad snaps at C. Kolone didn;t mess any up helping his cause.

    My take: Allen has bulked up and gotten stronger. He looks 10-15lbs heavier and much thicker than 2 yeas ago when I last attended a TC. He gets off his snap very well and has held his own against SJD, Gaines and A’Shawn. He’s opening holes in the run. Corbett is a better G than Evans and it looks like at this point Allen is as least as good as Corbett at C. This is NOT the Allen we saw 2 years ago.

    Sean McVay just now on Rams camp live said if they were to play the bears right now, Brian Allen would be the starting center.

    Darious Williams missed practice yesterday with “a little bit of an ankle,” while Van Jefferson was held out due to COVID issues that McVay believes was a false positive

    best 5 O-Lineman on the field. That’s what it’s always about and why I also want to see both get work at center in preseason.

    I really believe this is less about just Allen vs. Corbett at C and more about Corbett/Evans vs. Allen/Corbett at C/RG. That’s really what they’re figuring out

    This is not a done deal yet. I’d give it two more weeks before it is. They will know their starting OL right after the 2nd preseason game.
