Rams training camp notes, 7/29: Saffold working at LT

in St. Louis Rams training camp

PrintThe St. Louis Rams had their first full day of training camp...sort of. Rookies and assorted veterans were on hand for two practices today, here's a round up of what happened.
- Rodger Saffold worked at the LT spot. Don't get your knickers in a bunch, just yesterday Pat Shurmur said that he'll be a RT. 48 hours ago he was a RG.
- Saffold was filling in for Jason Smith, who is still limited.
- It was a typical August day in MO, i.e. it was damn hot and humid. Still, Spagnuolo seemed pleased with the way things went and some of the guys recovering from injuries made it through just fine this a.m.
- Steven Jackson and OJ Atogwe were the only Rams players coming back from injuries that did not practice today.
- CB Bradley Fletcher looked like he was back at full speed. That's great news. The Rams really, really need Fletcher to pick up where he left off last season. Solid play from the secondary will help the pass rush.
- TE Daniel Fells looked good to go too.
"We were trying to create as much of a competitive atmosphere as we could. We’ll carry that right into training camp. That’s what your good teams and very special players do. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird … Tiger Woods, he probably competes at everything, not just golf. That was kind of my message to (the players) – have that mindset in everything you do. It will make us all better."
Even threw in a Tiger Woods joke...props to the head coach!

All reporters are saying his deal will be done by tomorrow
So he can “[really start his NFL career this weekend.]”

Are you serious?
Bradford should be in camp from day one ,there job is to do every thing and make that happen signing him on time is so very important and its totally on the FO.They just missed the first deadline that Devaney had set jul 29
the whole team hasn't even practiced yet
the deal should be done tomorrow. the freaking out should end.

So because one person in the FO gets Bradford into camp a practice or two late
The Whole front office sucks.
Onubon > Gates
Yes because if its K. D. that cant push things along B. D. should have been all over this
And this should have all been a done deal the day he was drafted boys
Except Billy Devaney isn't in charge of the money, Demoff is
And I’m pretty sure Kevin Demoff has more authority than Billy Devaney. So Devaney can’t just take his job away from him.
Just settle down, nothing big is really going on now. He’s probably only going to miss 1 more day at the most.
I think he can come back from missing 2 days.

you suck
you d- bag.

My prediction is still alive:
Bradford will make it into the first full afternoon practice (includes veterans). He will miss the morning practice.
Where is he? OK or Missou?
i would guess he's still hangin' out in norman with his folks.
takes but a couple hours to get his ass here on a plane from there. i’m sure he’s all packed up just waiting for a phone call from mr condon. dude is probably anxious as hell.

I thought I heard he was in St Louis but I don't know if I'm correct or not.
I’ll try and find out.
Onubon > Gates
doesn't really matter.
though i guess if he was in st louis it would be because of an imminent deal.

And I just figured out where I read it
And it was in the form of a question. He may still be in Norman. And what you said is what I was hoping. You’d think he’d want to be here anyway, he’s going to have to be eventually. A lot of reporters are saying he’ll be signed by tomorrow, but I don’t know if it’ll be done before practice tomorrow. And the Ram’s website says there is only one practice tomorrow from 8:15-9:30. So I’m guessing he’ll be in camp by Saturday.

In rams210's defense,
the deal should’ve been done before the draft, but I’ve been happy with the way KD has handled the contracts and have all the faith in the world that SB will be here when the vets take the practice field.
Yes I have been happy too until now but this is the one were all waiting for
For me this has no excuse I don’t care if you have to start negotiating a month early get the dam deal done before camp
as long as he's wrapped up by saturday
then i’m fine. that’s when the real football starts :)

This constant changing positions (or musical chairs) rates 5 full Ritchie Heads.
Why would Greco be at Center or Saffold at LT or G? I guess Bradford’s big enough to play LB too. Reminds me of Jr. High fb where we all had to play offense and defense.
Saffold should look better at LT than RT
Why wouldn’t he?
I hope they just go with the best guy at LT, regardless of contract and draft position. I don’t know if Saffold could beat out Smith at this point though. Kinda doubt it, just based on his inexperience.

lol RamChop I felt the same way but I'm sure every one will be in position by the first week of preseason
I feel good about Saffold since he seems to be able to play all the spots,I just hope Smith can live up to his #1 second player over all and 33 mill guarantee money he got
