Apparently the music is getting a bit repetitive at camp...

Just had what I estimate to be the 1,500th playing of "California Love" at Rams training camp. Soon to be followed by 1,200th of "My House"

Keep it civil fellas

This is still very foreign to me.

These mechanical dummies are pretty sweet up close. https://t.co/lO9vqgFwU9 pic.twitter.com/FmnGVHmyZN

Injuries

Well.... Nelson Spruce was expected. Hopefully Tyler Higbee was kept out as a precaution and not something more serious

What the what? Barron is being held out as well.

Rams’ Mark Barron still out. Mo Alexander on field but just working individually with a coach. Tyler Higbee not in pads.

But E.J. Gaines is coming back this week - so the Rams have that going for them

I like the kid's work ethic.

Jared Goff taking first-team snaps in drills, but it’s all running plays.

Here's your chance to make an impression, rook

"I'd like to get Jared a shot with the 1s in this game." - Fisher

— Joe Curley (@vcsjoecurley) August 18, 2016

Fisher said he’d like to get Jared Goff one or two series with the first-team offense on Saturday vs. Chiefs.

And a couple of post practice remarks.....

Offense

A sign of things to come?

Ogeltree picks off Keenum in 7 on 7. Goff delivers a long TD pass up the right side to Marquez.

— Joe Curley (@vcsjoecurley) August 17, 2016

I like this. I like this a lot.

TDs were a theme in practice today.

Keenum answers with a strike to Austin in red zone 7 on 7. Goff hits Justice Cunningham for a score.

— Joe Curley (@vcsjoecurley) August 17, 2016

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd you're 2016 Rams Offense ladies and gentlemen

Full team drills now. Goff in with first team. Fans were just treated to the sight of 16 pitching to 30.

— Joe Curley (@vcsjoecurley) August 17, 2016

Temarrick Hemingway is making his case for the back end of the roster

Three days in a row here in Irvine Temarrick Hemingway has impressed. Tyler Higbee not the only #Rams rookie TE making plays.

Defense

This group is going to be IMPRESSIVE

Singletary needs to infuse his intensity into the LBs. Can you imagine an angry Alec Ogletree?
