With most of the drama regarding the Los Angeles Rams happening off the field with Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff making it seem like Aaron Donald won’t be signed before the season begins, there were still some other subjects to talk about.

10 observations from Day 7 of training camp | Rams official site
Rams insider Myles Simmons had some interesting takes on training camp. Jared Goff had a beauty of a throw to WR Mike Thomas and Todd Gurley showed that he’s the leader of the team by staying after practice to get some more cardio.

Speaking of dorks, you can now print out a uniform schedule and put it in your wallet!
Big money means bigger expectations for Todd Gurley | ESPN
First off, RB Todd Gurley II is now a Ram for a while and that’s pretty good! But is it all good?
