Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher \u2013 Post Training Camp\u00a0 Practice \u2013 August 3, 2016<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

(QB) Jared (Goff) had a good day. The players actually were kind of lobbying to put pads back on today, because I think that was coming from the defense. But, we originally planned on not going back-to-back. So, they\u2019re going to have to wait until Saturday now. It should be a good exercise at the Coliseum. We finished up kind of like the first phase. We got some meeting tonight and then they get a required day off and so tomorrow will be an opportunity for them to rest and recover, and come back with a good session Friday. Once we get through this Saturday, which we\u2019ll talk about it, we\u2019re in preseason game-prep already. So things have gone fast, but from a health standpoint, we\u2019re in good shape. I thought we got a lot done today. We picked the tempo up in the two-minute, which was introduced to them last night. So, it was a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On RB Todd Gurley<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to think everybody is. But yeah, he\u2019s in great shape. He\u2019s really in good shape. So, I don\u2019t know, like I said, he\u2019s going to build reps in practice. We just have to play the preseason here when we get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the status of WR Kenny Britt and his performance throughout training camp thus far<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBeen real productive, has a good feel, instinctive, smart football player. Doesn\u2019t make mistakes out there. He\u2019s had a good camp thus far.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On whether Kenny Britt is different now than when he came into the league in 2009<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPlayers tend to mature, grow through some things; have some difficulties at times, learn from their mistakes. Since Kenny has come here, he\u2019s really done a good job. He\u2019s young physically. He was very young coming out the draft. Battled through the ACL injury in (2011), I believe it was. Wasn\u2019t quite the same, but he\u2019s extremely healthy right now. Very powerful, very talented player.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the versatility of RT Rodger Saffold on the offensive line<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, he\u2019s done a lot for us. With (LT Greg Robinson) Rob missing time right now, it was decided prior to the start of camp and notified him that we\u2019re going to move him out to right tackle. He said, \u2018Cool.\u2019 He says he loves it. He will play any position but center. So, it gives us the flexibility and the peace of mind that if you do have an issue, Rodger can play any place.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On QB Case Keenum\u2019s performance today<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe made some really good throws. I mean, some really good throw throughout practice. That\u2019s what you expect out of your starter.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On what you have seen from Safety T.J. McDonald these past five days of offseason practice<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cT.J. (McDonald) came back in great shape, got things put behind him. He\u2019s ready to go. He\u2019s worked really hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On what he particularly liked from QB Jared Goff\u2019s performance today at practice<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe did the two-minute exercise, so it was kind of hurried. We didn\u2019t have a 100 percent pass rush. We kind of toned the pass rush down. But, we wanted to go through the exercise, to the decisions. He was very much aware of the timeouts he had left and time on the clock, and taking the shots. We don\u2019t know what our weakness is in terms of protecting the pass rush. He\u2019s got a feel for those things. Our two-minute is different than the college two-minute. So, he has to get a sense for that\u2026clock stops on a first down in the past. It doesn\u2019t any more. It\u2019s those types of things that he\u2019s learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the performance of CB Coty Sensabaugh and how he fits into the rotation.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCoty, again, is a really smart player. He sees things, he\u2019ll guess, but he guesses right, and you like to see that out of a corner. It\u2019s going to be a great race. He\u2019s going to play obviously. One way or another he\u2019s going to fit in the package. Whether he\u2019s a starter or not, he\u2019s going to fit a package.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the transition of LB Alec Ogletree and his performance through training camp thus far.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNot having any issues. He\u2019s running the defense. Has a good feel for all the packages, moving the D-line around. In addition to that, he understands offense.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On what his plans for improving the team going into the start of the season.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe evaluate the offensive improvement, the defense and special teams, but within that, we\u2019re also evaluating each and every individual. They\u2019re being discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On if he misses the humidity of the weather in the Midwest<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I love the midwest, but it\u2019s hard to beat this. What I don\u2019t miss are those thunder heads that come in with lightening, and then you have to go inside, then you guys have to run to your cars, and we have to cancel practice. I don\u2019t miss that.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On his plan for increasing DB E.J. Gaines\u2019s practice time<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been increasing his reps. We just have to see how he tolerates that. So, he came up a little bit lame at the end of practice, so we have to check him out.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On if Hard Knocks has made the players apprehensive or act out of character and it becoming a distraction.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo, we didn\u2019t. We\u2019ve had several discussions with the team prior to their arrival. One of the things that was discussed numerous times was, after a couple of days it\u2019s almost if they disappear. It\u2019s been an exciting process, it\u2019s been fun. The players are out here to help win games and to improve, not to make a movie. They\u2019re not actors, they\u2019re players.\u201d<\/p>\n
