Game Thread: Preseason Game #1 - The Dallas Cowboys @ The Los Angeles Rams, SoFi Stadium, Sunday, 08/11/2024, 1:30 PM, PST

[Retroram52]

The LA Rams camp is over and the Preseason is here with the first installment on Sunday, August 11 at 1:30 PM, PST time. In light of the three O-line injuries, the Rams signed Connor McDermott, OT, Matt Kaskay, G/C, and a previously injured lineman, Alec Lindstrom, G/C. Lasky was signed by the Rams during the 2019 draft as a URFA and then went to Carolina where he spent three seasons there.

So, all of you can shake off the summer sleepies and get back to watching football this week-end with this game at SoFi Stadium.

I saw some joint practice photos and Cooper Kupp has really bulked-up. He is way bigger than he has ever been in his career.

When will our O-Line starters be back?...

 

[Retroram52]

Probably after the Preseason for two of them and one of them may be longer. Havenstein and Alaric Jackson have feet issues. Jonah Jackson has a deep shoulder blade issue and may go longer into September.

There is no doubt that the Rams spent too much money on Jonah Jackson as a FA. He was already injured from last year when he signed but I suspect that McShitferBrains signed Jackson to help out his buddy Brad Holmes in Detroit. It is quite evident, they let friendship be the guiding factor in that FA decision. Havenstein is aging and may experience more injuries than normal. Alaric Jackson

Now the ShitferBrains Twins are once again signing FA O-lineman they did not pick-up in the draft. Their inclination to avoid O-lineman and ILBs in the draft is quite evident pattern because they believe they have superior coaching (in this case, Ryan Wendall, and Zak Cromer on the O-line) to take ANYBODY and make them into decent positional players to cover their needs.

Looks like Stetson Bennett is going to be the QB starter for all of Preseason because Jimmy G is so bad at learning the offense, he is simply non-productive. Plus, Jimmy G faces a two-game suspension for PEDs use.

"Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is suspended for the first two games of the 2024 season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Tuesday, the former Raiders signal-caller said the two-game ban came after he messed up the therapeutic use exemption."

If Stafford goes down at all, we will see Stetson Bennett as the replacement. The signing of Garoppolo was just a plain stupid move and letting Carson Wentz walk was even dumber!!

Our D already looking crappy

Stetson looks a little better than pedestrian!

 

[Retroram52]

Karty looks like he has the potential to be a good kicker.

 

[Retroram52]

Zach Evans getting alot of work. He is on the cut bubble.

 

[Retroram52]

Man is our D total dogshit or what. I am not so sure Shula is going to be any good as DC.

 

[Retroram52]

Frikin giving-up the big plays like there is no tomorrow.

 

[Retroram52]

Dallas is going to decide whether they want to try an attempt at the TD or kick the FG.

 

[Retroram52]

YES!! Incomplete pass. Rams ball!!

 

[Retroram52]

End of First Quarter, still tied.

 

[Retroram52]

Bennett is looking good on this drive.

 

[Retroram52]

Yes, Evans!!
