The Rams became the last team in the league to move into the OTA phase of their offseason work on Tuesday, which meant that first overall pick Jared Goff finally got to face off against NFL defenders in a practice setting.
Goff didn’t get the majority of the snaps during practice, however. Coach Jeff Fisher said that Case Keenum got 60-70 percent of the reps during Tuesday’s practice and saw all the time with the first team, an arrangement that Fisher said everyone is aware will be changing in the near future.
“The room’s not an issue because all of them are professional,” Fisher said. “But they also understand that the reps are going to change. And as soon as Jared comes along in becoming more familiar with things, then we’ll start increasing his reps. So there’s a lot of reps to go around. I want to make sure [Goff] gets one reps at least two, three, or four days through the OTAs.”
The Rams may want to hold off on giving Goff too much to do too soon, but the price paid to bring him to Los Angeles means it’s likely just a matter of time before he’s at the controls of the offense for good after the Rams.
