Kurt Warner@kurt13warner
I read a former NFL player saying the most nervous they ever were, in football, was their 1st preseason game… this is so true! New environment, playing 4 a job job for 1st time, make mistakes u don’t normally make, etc… so 4 those out there who felt like this you’re not alone!

Wrong Kurt they are totally meaningless for everyone involved.
Doesn’t sound like Sean McVay is ruling out possibility of adding a veteran on the iDL or at OLB (asked specifically about both/either). He also reiterated the limitations Rams have in cash/cap balance this season and also that young guys have so far been coachable.
Sean McVay said…as poorly as the Rams played in some aspects, he sees their mistakes as being “very correctable.”
“A lot of things we can learn from. A lot of guys getting their feet wet for the first time, and that’s exactly what we kind of expected,” he said. “I thought there was some positives, I thought there was some things that are very correctable that we can clean up but when you’ve got that many new things – and really, this is a good chance for us to get our ducks in a row as far as our operation on game day. We’ll look at the film, we’ll clean it up and we’ll continue to keep it moving.”
Tyler Johnson 5 receptions (with 7 targets) for 70 yards with an average of 14.0 yards per catch… he had himself a day

Cooper Kupp, who is recovering from hamstring injury, probably won’t participate in joint practices with Raiders, McVay said. Practices with Broncos “probably a more realistic goal,” McVay said.
Extremely impressed with how Quentin Lake is taking to dime backer when Rams are in that subpackage. They have needed a short-area boost and he always seems to be around the ball.

Fun standing behind Wendell and Munchak some of the day, as they worked with the OL. Lot of combined knowledge there.

Still seeing rotation at center and right guard. Not seeing much rotation anymore at left tackle. McVay noted sealing guys into spots will be important in the next few weeks.
🚨Sack Leader🚨 With 1.5 sacks during the Rams’ first preseason contest, OLB Keir Thomas is t-3rd in the NFL in preseason sacks and t-2nd in TFLs (2). Thomas is 1.5 sacks shy of becoming the Rams’ preseason all-time sack leader. pic.twitter.com/SqMKUzKB96
