The exact reason why i stay indoors ;<

Don't let those guys scare u. Im sure it ain't easy these days.

I'm a sarcastic ass a lot. Drink tequila a lot lately too

 

[SJ76]

This QB we take tomorrow better know what's coming and step the hell up. He's gonna see big dudes coming at him faster than he's ever seen in his life.

For some reason I want Wentz cuz he can run but I'm not sold on his arm. Goff has the arm and Gruden loves his feet but.....

So Gruden and Rex Ryan have the same type of fetish then?

Hmmmm......Is there a chance that Denver gives us their #1 pick for Case Keenum??

Players most likely to get traded on draft day

I doubt he brings more than a day 3 pick (same with Foles).

 

[zeke2829]

Another option for Denver would be to trade up for Paxton Lynch if he falls farther than expected!

20% he does 80% he doesnt cuz of the front office

But hey...at least there's a chance!

Rams rookie minicamp a time for Jared Goff, others to show their actual football skills


Rams coach Jeff Fisher, left, claps as he introduces Jared Goff as the team's first pick in the first round of the NFL football draft, in Los Angeles on April 20. Goff and a couple dozen others take to the field Friday for the start of a two-day minicamp

The abstract concept becomes a reality Friday afternoon in Oxnard, when actual Rams are on an actual field. Get out of the way, news conferences and photo shoots, because it’s time for some football.

The Rams will host a two-day rookie minicamp for as many as 27 players, those who either were drafted last week, signed as undrafted free agents or invited on tryout deals.

The headliner will be No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff, who will be in action for the first time as the Rams’ presumptive quarterback of the future.

The practices are not open to the public, but media will be allowed to watch and report, so here are five items with the potential to be weekend storylines:

• 1. Goff’s time to shine: He’s a cool customer, or at least that’s what everyone has been hearing for weeks. Now it’s time to prove it. It’s just a minicamp, so no significant conclusions should be reached, but this is Goff’s first time to be on the field in a Rams jersey and start to feel some pressure.

Coaches and team management will be watching his every throw, and if Goff’s goal is to be the starting quarterback in September – in truth, that’s also the Rams’ goal – this is his initial chance to make a strong impression and set a tone heading into full-team workouts.

• 2. Who will catch on? Goff surely will not lack for targets. The minicamp group is expected to include recently drafted receivers Pharoh Cooper and Mike Thomas, plus undrafted signees Paul McRoberts, Marquez North and Nelson Spruce, plus tryout receiver Jimmy Worton.

The Rams have some depth issues at receiver, and this is a fantastic opportunity for Cooper to establish himself as a slot receiver and Thomas to establish himself as a big, possession target. These guys, and others, have a chance to develop an early rapport with Goff.

• 3. Tight-end competition: Tyler Higbee, a fourth-round pick, was arraigned Thursday and pleaded not guilty to assault charges. Higbee is expected to participate in the minicamp along with Temarrick Hemingway, whom the Rams drafted in the sixth round.

The Rams certainly need at least one field-stretching tight end. The question is whether Hemingway simply is a safety net, should things go wrong with Higbee, or whether both players have the potential to earn playing time to complement starter Lance Kendricks.

• 4. New kicker? Coach Jeff Fisher has made it known that kicker Greg Zuerlein, who struggled in 2015, isn’t going to retain his job without a training-camp battle, so there’s a great opportunity here for undrafted free agent Taylor Bertolet (Texas A&M) to make an impact and put himself into the fall competition.

The Rams are likely to add a veteran kicker or two before fall camp, and Bertolet was an interesting inclusion. A highly touted high school kicker, Bertolet didn’t win the Aggies’ job outright until his senior year, then made only 22 of 31 field-goal attempts last season. He did make 5 of 9 from 50 yards and beyond.

• 5. Those other guys: Defense? There are defensive players at the minicamp also? The Rams’ roster is more stable on that side of the ball than on offense, but they will be looking for depth players at linebacker and in the defensive backfield.

The Rams used only one of their six draft picks on a defensive player, linebacker Josh Forrest, but have an intriguing group of undrafted free agents. There are four linebackers and five defensive backs, plus a familiar name, that of Nevada defensive lineman Ian Seau, nephew of Hall of Famer Junior Seau.

Goff's time to shine? REALLY? Once again people want to see our QB do great while in shorts and a t-shirt? Is that what matters right now?

Flashback to one year ago...Foles looked FANTASTIC in shorts and a t-shirt and we all know what happened from there...

Seems like the NFL is trying to build up ANY drama they can right now to help Hard Knocks in the summer...

Really wish that they didn't get Hard Knocks and could focus only on football.

What a frikin' dog and pony show this is-AGAIN!

 

[Vitamike]

You guys crack me up. I was all jacked up, much like the author here, about the start of rookie training camp. That was the purpose of my post last night, to share in the excitement of the start of Rookie Camp today.

In context, Goff no longer is 'just' in the media machine. (Which he has been for however long up to now) Now it's time for him to actually show his abilities, or 'shine' if you will, with all his 'new' weapons.

Remember, the dude is only 21 years old, I would think he must be nervous as hell putting that NFL jersey on. Like the author said, let's see if this kid is as cool as advertised!

It would be very sweet if a few of these rookies, on the offensive side of the ball, can get some good to great chemistry going!

• Goff → Higbee
• Goff → Cooper
• Goff → Thomas
• Cooper → Hemingway

Here is some more info on the Rookies....

The Rams also signed three free-agent receivers – including Colorado’s Nelson Spruce, the Pac-12’s all-time receptions leader – and running back Aaron Green, who ran for 1,272 yards in his final season at TCU.

Many of the rookies already have expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of working with Goff.

“He is a great quarterback,” said Cooper, who caught passes from him at the NFL scouting combine. “Just to go in there and work with the No. 1 quarterback drafted overall. ... It is going to be great to start strong with him.”

“It is a really special class,” Hemingway added. “We’re going to come in competing and we’re all really good players, so it should be exciting to watch and be a part of as well.”

That said, Goff is the clearly the only newcomer who has the ability to truly elevate the Rams’ sputtering offense. Even with a star tailback in Todd Gurley, this is a team that finished last in the league in total yards per game. If that ranking doesn’t improve significantly, some analysts and fans will start wondering if acquiring Goff was worth mortgaging the team’s future.

Couple that with the franchise’s move back to Los Angeles, and it’s hard to imagine a brighter spotlight.

“He’s got the personality to embrace the market,” Fisher said of Goff. “He’s got the personality to be one of those faces of the franchise, but he also understands that it’s not up to him. It’s collectively up to the rest of the team.”​
