Preseason opponents

(4/3/07)
The preseason schedule was mostly announced yesterday. I don't know why NFL always insists on releasing it without the exact dates, but they always do.

Aug 9-13 @Minnesota
Aug 18 vs. San Diego, CBS national broadcast
Aug 23-27 @Oakland
Aug 31-Sep 2 vs. Kansas City

Since the Rams are a team that HAS to get better at defending the run this season, SD and KC are great sparring partners because they run so well. Minnesota ran awful well the first half of last season and also should be a good test. Oakland, I'm not so thrilled about. The worse a team is, the more seriously it takes preseason games. Since it's the third game, though, you'd expect both teams to use starters most of the way, which maybe throws an edge back to the Rams.
