On the second days of OTAs, here’s how the St. Louis Rams lined up their No. 1 units:
OFFENSE
QB: A.J. Feeley
RB: Kenneth Darby
FB: Mike Karney
C: Jason Brown
RG: Adam Goldberg
RT: Phil Trautwein
LG: John Greco
LT: Jason Smith
TE: Billy Bajema
WR: alternating between Laurent Robinson, Brandon Gibson, Danny Amendola and Donnie Avery.
DEFENSE
DE: Chris Long and James Hall
DT: Clifton Ryan and Fred Robbins
MLB: James Laurinaitis
SLB: Na’il Diggs
WLB: Bobby Carpenter
S: James Butler and Craig Dahl
CB: Ron Bartell and Justin King
Of course, a number of prospective starters are missing, including RB Steven Jackson, G Jacob Bell, TE Daniel Fells and S Oshiomogho Atogwe. Also, bear in mind that coach Steve Spagnuolo won’t automatically anoint a rookie as a stater. But that’s how they’re aligned at this point.
Notes & quotes:
*Spagnuolo said he’s been pleased with Carpenter, acquired in a trade for Alex Barron. “He’s more athletic than I thought,” Spagnuolo said. “He did some things today as the nickel (weakside) linebacker that I thought stood out.”
*Long-snapper Chris Massey had clean-up surgery on his knee a week ago and won’t be on the field until training camp.
*Rookie TE Fendi Onobun made an acrobatic catch on a crossing pattern. Also, second-year WR Brooks Foster leaped high for a tough grab on the sideline.
*Several players hustled to the airport after practice. The team will reassemble Monday when OTAs resume.
All for now…
