It's a beeb a busy weekend of football, from the Hall of Fame festivities to the preseason opener in Canton. Closer to home, this Saturday was the annual FanFest and team scrimmage at the Edward Jones Dome.
1. Stedman Bailey impresses
The most talked about player from Saturday's scrimmage has been the second-year wideout who will unfortunately be on the bench for the first four games of the season. He and Sam Bradford had a mind-meld on the field for the scrimmage.
"Sted made a lot of plays today. He's there. He knows how to get open, and knows how to make the plays," Jeff Fisher said.
Bradford talked up Bailey after practice too.
"Sted's looked good all camp," Bradford said. "He's a very smart receiver. He's always in the right place. He's got a great instinct, just about feeling different zones and getting open. I think he's going to be a big target in the offense this year and I think it showed today. He caught a lot of balls out here today."
That's great to hear. The key for Bailey and the Rams offense will be doing that against more physical coverage, getting pressed at the line, etc., something that isn't part of a non-tackling portion of practice.
Kenny Britt caught a touchdown pass too. Brian Quick did not play, and Bradford and Tavon Austin reportedly struggled in making a connection.
