tweets, 9/15, all things Rams & Rams related

Vincent Bonsignore‏ @DailyNewsVinny
Aaron Donald is back in #Rams fold, but without a new contract. The challenge is to separate business from football

Joe Curley‏ @vcsjoecurley
Phillips calls the Rams “a fun team to watch.”

The only Washington player with an injury status is WR Josh Doctson, who was limited by a hamstring. He’s questionable. Same as Webster.

Kayvon Webster (shoulder) returned to practice today. Listed as limited. @CVRamsClub

Everyone else participated fully.

“That’s always a plus when you feel like you can go to anybody out there.” — LaFleur on how much Goff spread the ball around last week

LaFleur says Jared Goff seems much more balanced and comfortable in the pocket this season.

Alden Gonzalez@Alden_Gonzalez
Gurley, on whether he likes getting involved in the passing game: “It’s always better when you can avoid one or two guys instead of 11.”

That Texans offensive line, man. Woof. And I covered the 2016 Rams.

Gregg Rosenthal‏ @greggrosenthal
From @NFLResearch: 9 points by the Bengals in the first 2 games is the fewest since the 2009 Rams.

Gary Klein@LATimesklein
Phillips said Donald would be on “pitch count”. He joked that it wouldn’t be like Dodgers pitchers. “They haven’t done too well lately.”

Gregg Rosenthal @greggrosenthal
Jared Goff’s incredible protection stood out. Rare you see play calls so consistently play out like its on a wipeboard

Ryan Kartje‏@Ryan_Kartje
Donald on McVay: “He’s been on my side a lot, trying to get this thing done. I feel confident he’s turning this organization around.”

Gary Klein‏@LATimesklein
Mcvay said Tavon Austin’s limited role vs. Colts was due to game flow and Austin’s returning from hamstring injury.

McVay on probable on-field conversation w/ Jay Gruden: “I don’t think we’ll be sharing our first 15 [plays] with each other.”

J.B. Long@JB_Long
Great @TG3II answer regarding Aaron Donald: “I’m not even in football shape, so I doubt he’s in football shape. It takes a while.” #LARams

The Aaron Donald difference? #LARams have averaged a sack on 7.3% of all pass attempts with Aaron on the field since 2014. 4.7% without him.

Rookies (including @RamsNFL WR @CooperKupp & TE @lightningstrk12) set an #NFL record with 1,361 scrimmage yards & 10 TDs combined in Week 1.

#Patriots at #Saints in Week 2 will be first matchup in #NFL history between QBs with 400+ career TD passes: Brees (465) and Brady (456).

Myles Simmons @MylesASimmons
McVay says CB Kayvon Webster was limited in practice today, will be questionable for Sunday’s game.

McVay says if Webster can’t play on Sunday, then Robey-Coleman would start at cornerback.

McVay said LA has looked at players who have gone thru holdouts & then come back/how many snaps they’ve played. Will monitor that w/ Donald.

Lindsey Thiry @LindseyThiry
“We just have to be more physical…” Rams RB Todd Gurley says about the run game against Colts, adds that they need to win their one-on-ones.

KZ was on Martz’s staff with the Rams. He was then on Bengals for years. He then gets his OC gib with them and is fired after 2 games.

Bengals firing OC Ken Zampese after no TDs in 2 weeks. Loss of Jay Gruden/Hue Jackson in recent years hurt. Bill Lazor likely to take over
