#130 ASA PLAY ON 8* LA Rams -3 over LA Chargers, Saturday at 9 PM ET - Rams head coach McVay set the precedent for sitting nearly everyone in the preseason a few years ago. He decided to sit his starters and many of his key reserves for the entire exhibition schedule. That will change this year. McVay, offensive coordinator LaFleur, and GM Snead have all stated their approach to this year’s preseason slate will be different. Last year they were coming off a Super Bowl win and had the luxury of sitting guys. This year, the Rams are coming off a 5 win season and many of the starting spots are up for grabs which should lead to a competitive situation for LA in the preseason with key players fighting for spots. QB Stafford, WR Cupp, and DT Donald are a few that won’t play but many others will. QB Rypien will get the start and he has some decent experience with 130 career NFL pass attempts. He will be followed by rookie Stetson Bennett who won back to back National Championships with Georgia. Chargers head coach Staley has been adamant about resting his starters during the preseason and that will most likely continue this year as much of their lineup is already set. LAC is also learning a new offensive system under coordinator Kellen Moore who came over in the off-season from Dallas. They will be doing so with Easton Stick (1 career pass attempt) and Max Duggan (rookie) handling the QB position. The Bolts are also dealing with a rash of injuries, especially on the defensive line, and an illness spread through some of the team this week. This is a bigger game for the Rams coming off a 5 win season while the Chargers are eyeing another run to the playoffs. We’ll lay the FG and take the Rams here.
