#Rams CB Marcus Peters just called Sean McVay’s offense: “Crazy unique.”
Myles Simmons@MylesASimmons
Aqib Talib at the podium. Says OTA No. 1 was good, and he got an introduction to the McVay offense. Called it “pretty crazy” with all the movement.
CB Marcus Peters said the McVay offense is “crazy unique.” Peters added the way the unit goes up tempo keeps the defense on its toes and will make the defense better.

Sign of things to come? #Rams Jared Goff just hooked up with Brandin Cooks on a 60-yard TD pass in 7-on-7 drill. Whole thing was won at line of scrimmage when Cooks & Cooper Kupp ran cross action, buying Cooks a half second to beat his defender to boundary. Goff delivered a dime
Joe Curley@vcsjoecurley
Brandin Cooks calls Jared Goff “a natural born leader.” Says the work the receivers have done so far with him away from the facility is already paying off.
Rich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
Every Rams player of note seems to be present today except for Aaron Donald and Obo Okoronkwo. A few guys aren’t going through drills, and Mark Barron was out of uniform entirely.
Myles Simmons@MylesASimmons
CB Marcus Peters says he feels like he learns fast, so he’s coming along in the defense well.
Goff said he felt like Monday was a good first day of OTAs, added he felt like things were “really crisp.”
Goff also called WR Brandin Cooks “a sponge” and someone who “wants to be great.” Goff connected with Cooks on a few passes at multiple levels during the session.
Most impressive was a deep pass Goff made down the left side to Cooks in 7-on-7. Goff showed arm strength/accuracy, Cooks showed off his speed. 7-on-7, yes, but would’ve been an easy TD.
Lindsey Thiry@LindseyThiry
Goff says he feels more in command of McVay’s system going into year 2 of it

There are billions at stake, as states consider whether to legalize sports betting.
Like the other leagues, the NFL is claiming it has intellectual property rights and also plans to push to be the sole source of its league data. Both of those stipulations would make the NFL a TON of revenue from sports betting.
Here’s the thing about the leagues claiming intellectual property rights, when it comes to sports betting: They’ve done it before. And lost. Multiple times. I have my doubts about whether they have any chance of winning on this issue.
Ownership of league data, however, is an interesting discussion. In no other legal market in the world do leagues have sole rights to their data. But for legislators, allowing the leagues the right to their own data seems fair on the surface. They’ll fight hard for it, too.
