Bill Coats reports very good practices Wednesday for Alex Barron, Jacob Bell and Nick Leckey. Nick Wagoner also had glowing reviews for Leckey. Leckey worked with the first string with Brett Romberg still limited by a hand injury. This left Richie Incognito at RG, with Mark Setterstrom limited to individual drills.
Thinking about Fred Miller's experience in Nashville in 1999, I'm expecting Alex Barron to false-start about a dozen times Saturday night. But he's by all accounts having a solid camp, and if he's for real, improved play from Barron would be a huge boost for the Rams' offense.
Chris Long excelled in one-on-one drills, so there's more fuel for the fire of us hoping he'll boost the Rams' defense as well.
One thing worrying me as a fan hoping the Rams will have a better and more physical running game this season, other than Steven Jackson's holdout, is the injuries going on with his blockers. Anthony Becht has been down with a hamstring injury. Though Russ Weil's giving Dan Kreider a very good run for the potential fullback job, I've been banking on Kreider, but he's been missing time with a knee injury.
The Ram running game needs these guys.
And Jackson.
