Word on the street is that Brent is gonna wing his speach a bit

Edit: Pryor is gonna make this team, possible starting WR opposite Coleman. Seems to have improved a lot

I think Coleman, Pryor, and Gordon could be an extremely athletic trio. Whether Gordon or Pryor will actually be any good is another question. Not to mention if RG3 can actually be competent as a qb. Man, I'm so ready for football and am really looking forward to this season
only to be let down

LOS ANGELES -- There are several steps in this process of moving an NFL team from one city to another.

Big steps, small ones, memorable ones, and most definitely some that are looked more forward to than others.

Saturday will bring the latter when the Los Angeles Rams make their first team appearance back in the Coliseum they once -- and will again this season -- called home.

The Rams are taking a break from their summer camp at UC Irvine to hold a special practice and mini-scrimmage at the Coliseum that is open and free to the public. They’re calling it their first annual family day, and it will be filled with firsts for players, most of whom have never stepped foot in the legendary stadium.

“When it’s all said and done, I want it to be a great experience for the fans, a great experience for our staff and organization, and most of all, a productive day for our players,” said Rams head coach Jeff Fisher.

Fisher knows the 93-year-old Coliseum well, having played in it as a defensive back for USC. Fisher said he’s been back since and toured the site of two Olympics.

“The first time down the tunnel was pretty cool,” he said.

The Rams have one current player, T.J. McDonald, who went to USC and several others from Pac-12 schools who played there as collegians. None have played their professionally. The Rams left the Coliseum for Anaheim Stadium in 1980 and Anaheim for St. Louis in 1995, the same year the Raiders left the Coliseum for Oakland.

Now the Rams are going home again and are scheduled to play in the venerable Coliseum for the next three years until their new stadium is completed in Inglewood.

“It’s that next step in the progression with respect to the move,” Fisher said.

Fisher said players are excited about their first appearance in the Coliseum.

“We’ve been talking about it for a week or so now, just giving them little details on parking and locker rooms and family and friends," Fisher said. "The organization has done a good job of setting it up. I think you’ll be really impressed by it.”

Fisher said the players will be in full pads and the team will use an eight-man officiating crew. He said it will be a typical team practice, but that rookies and young players will play a short scrimmage at its end.

“We don’t tackle and bring people to the ground out here in a normal practice, but (Saturday) in this particular 12-to-14 play session, we’re going to,” he said.
