znModeratorCrazy that Frito-Lay workers had to go on strike nearly 3 weeks just to win the right not to have to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week
Now they can "only" be forced to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week
Going from 84 hrs a week to 72 hrs sounds like a 19th century labor victory https://t.co/5leo3T3WOm

znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue, from https://theathletic.com/2729638/2021/07/25/what-we-learned-as-new-rams-including-qb-matthew-stafford-and-rookies-reported-to-training-camp/?source=emp_shared_article
• Atwell weighs 155 pounds, he confirmed. But the Rams would like him to add about 6 pounds and play at 160-161, he added — no easy feat, considering his metabolism.
“It’s tough, I have a fast metabolism — it burns fast,” he said, laughing. “It is what it is … I try my best, the coaches know that, so we’re just going to do what we’ve got to do.
• Harris, who rotated into quite a bit of first-team reps in the spring with veteran Tyler Higbee not practicing, said he’ll continue to be the versatile tight end/receiver hybrid the Rams hoped he could be when drafting him this spring (he’ll also compete on special teams, likely in all four phases).
“It was something that I was ready for, and I didn’t take any of those reps for granted,” he said. “It was a blessing to be out there in general … to be in there with the ones, they run a little bit faster. Being able to hear the signal calls and to be out there in full phase like that, it was good.”
Harris won’t add much weight, he confirmed, because the Rams want to keep his explosiveness and speed where it is and don’t want a ton of extra bulk. So when it comes to the blocking he may do when aligned at tight end, he’s focusing on gaining the right leverage — playing smarter where he may not always win the physical contest.

znModeratorXavier Jones highlights are ridiculous. Don’t understand how he went undrafted but I can understand why he made the Rams roster. Also, he kept scoring in the Rams scrimmages at SoFi. pic.twitter.com/WWrbpMH1t3

znModeratorA #NFL team called today interested in working out & signing a free agent client. When they found out he wasn’t vaccinated they were no longer interested. The rules the #NFL implemented in reality mandates the vaccine for back end roster type players.

znModeratorSry, I didn’t look close enough. Sometimes I just rush things and grab and post. 😎
But don’t be so hard on me. If it weren’t for me, no one here would know yet that the Rams managed to get Von Miller from Denver to be the Rams edge rusher–all for just a 3rd rounder. That’s according to Peter Keng on the Sports Illustrious site.

you can’t eliminate someone from the nfl for their personal beliefs, several magas who gloated over kaepernick are now saying.znModeratorNFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said Sunday that Jones is his best running back that didn’t land an invitation to Indianapolis for the annual draft showcase.
“Spent the day watching RBs w/o combine invitation,” Jeremiah wrote on Twitter. “Best of the bunch? SMU RB Xavier Jones. 5’11 208 (no pro day) Excellent vision, balance and toughness. Lacks elite top speed. Reliable in pass game.”

znModeratorGood for the NFL.
Do we know who on the Rams are vaccinated and who are not? I’m sure the league knows… Based on a comment I heard on the radio, I don’t think Ramsey is vaccinated (a DJ talking, but it sounded like he said something supporting Hopkin’s since deleted tweet).
We don’t know anything about the Rams situation. And Ramsey is indeed saying dumb things about vaxxing. But you would think the team would be on top of this.
znModeratorHere’s more from today’s memo, which also says the team responsible for a canceled game because of an outbreak among unvaccinated players/staff will be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner. Wow. pic.twitter.com/Q86a2WcG1K
