Rams training camp: Players running laps in triple digit heat...we love it

by Ryan Van Bibber on Aug 3, 2010 1:42 PM CDT in St. Louis Rams training camp

The heat index in St. Charles, MO, the approximate where St. Louis Rams are having their training camp, is a tepid 111 degrees. Needless to say, it's impacting practice results a bit for the Rams players, but that's not stopping them from being held accountable.

After a severe bout of false start penalties this morning, players jumping the gun were treated to a lap around the field, a consequence merited out by the players themselves. Steven Jackson took a lap himself.

I love it. This is a great sign that there's a new mentality settling in at Rams Park.

Alex Barron would be down to about 250 lbs if the team had done this prior to this training camp.

Mardy Gilyard had rough day, dropping a number of passes. This too shall pass. It's practice and response is everything.

For those who have ESPNU

They are showing a USF game from last season. So if you want to watch Jerome Murphy and George Selvie play, it’s on for the next 2 and half hours.

Danario Update:

Danario on his visit with the Rams:

The visit was great!! We are definitely going to keep in contact

Danario on his visit with Seattle:

Had a nice visit in #Seattle, headed to the airport now

Sounds encouraging for us. Our visit was great and going to keep in contact
And Seattle was okay, but I’m going to the airport to get out of here.

Keith Null

I read that he is doing just as good as the other two QBs. I think he is facing the 3rd team defense, but if he keeps up the strong showings, it means one of two things. 1. We either have reliable backup for years if Bradford gets hurt or busts (please don’t), or we can make a Charlie Whitehurst deal, and perhaps nab some mid round picks. My biggest worry about drafting Bradford was that Keith Null would really blossom, and I like him too much to think he can’t, and then we would have millions tied up in Sam, and we would’ve missed out on Suh when we already had the answer at QB. Hopefully Sam just dominates for the next 15 years and puts all this to rest.
