Rams

Rams coach Sean McVay's decision to play John Wolford in the first half and Bryce Perkins in the second introduced a dose of QB intrigue vs. Texans.

His 36-yard field goal with 40 seconds left in the second quarter increased the lead to 6-0. His second kickoff resulted in a touchback. The play set up a field goal. Defensive lineman Jonah Williams had a sack and forced a fumble. Or was it a move to give Perkins a shot at a fair comparison for the role as Stafford’s backup? “Overall, I felt like he had good command, made good decisions, saw the coverages the right way,” McVay said. On Friday, he kicked a 43-yard field goal in the first quarter to give the Rams a 3-0 lead. He had a 29-yard catch in the first quarter, a 22-yard reception in the second and finished with five catches for 96 yards. But on the first play of his second possession, he slipped a tackle in the backfield and completed a 14-yard pass to tight end Roger Carter Jr. “And then there were some instances where we could help him out a little bit more. [Coach Sean McVay](https://www.latimes.com/sports/rams/story/2022-08-09/rams-coach-sean-mcvay-reveals-new-contract)’s decision to play Wolford in the first half and [Bryce Perkins](https://www.latimes.com/sports/rams/story/2021-08-13/rams-quarterback-perkins-came-a-long-way-to-get-his-chance-in-preseason-opener) in the second introduced a dose of quarterback intrigue. It marked Wolford’s first extended playing time since 2020, when he started the season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, and then started and played most of the first quarter in a wild-card playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.

In his first start of the preseason, backup quarterback John Wolford caught the majority of that Houston heat, going down for all five of the first-half sacks.

This leaves Russ Yeast with a mountain to climb over to reach the roster but he’s not finished yet either. Andrew Whitworth made a point to say that his former teammates are enamored with the competitive spirit and energy of Decobie Durant. We haven’t seen any of Long or Troy Hill in the preseason, but we’ve gotten a long look at Robert Rochell, Derion Kendrick, and Cobie Durant and they’ve all had their moments, including on Friday night. He was composed when trailing late in the game and finished with a high efficiency rating. Evans had a penalty and did not appear to make a strong bid to stay on the 53-man roster based on first look. Kier Thomas also got some love and added pressure and would be a great player to get onto the practice squad. Harris caught the first pass of the game, an 8-yard gain and finished with three catches. Jackson, Tremayne Anchrum, Jeremiah Kolone, Logan Bruss, and Bobby Evans was the starting five, with much of the pressure coming up the middle. But Houston third stringer Jeff Driskel led the Texans on an 82-yard drive to answer, ending in a touchdown pass tight end Mason Schreck to take a 24-20 lead. That was the question that maybe the Los Aneles Rams needed an answer for more than they needed to beat the Texans in the second preseason game of the year and Sean McVay should feel comfortable with Wolford as Stafford’s backup. Many of Houston’s starters on Friday night are expected to start during the regular season and it showed against L.A.’s backup offensive line. Wolford finished 14-of-22 for 142 yards, playing the entire first half and getting sacked five times while being under pressure for many of his pass attempts.

The Texans offense couldn't even say they sputtered in their second preseason game of the year. They never got off the starting block.

Then Freeman ran for four yards on 3rd and 1 to extend the drive. A deep pass to Dorsett was competed for 33 yards to the LA 32 and an unnecessary roughness penalty took the ball to the LA 18 with just :07 left on the clock. The Texans' drive went nine yards in three plays and took 2:12. Rogers returned the kick 30 yards to the LA 48. Kyle Allen came in at quarterback for the third quarter, and the Texans went three-and-out. The Rams come up short on 3rd and 15 and are forced to punt. The Texans drive went 15 yards in six plays and took 3:16 off the clock. Johnston punts 54 yards to the LA 25, where Akers returns four yards to the 29. On 3rd and 7 Wolford found Trammell at the LA 39 for a nine-yard gain. But the Texans can muster only two more yards on the drive and punt on 4th and 9. On the first play of the Rams' next drive, Wolford hits Lance McCutcheon for 22 yards to the L.A. Mack ran left tackle for five yards, Mills passed to Collins for five yards before Mills was sacked at the L.A.

The Houston Texans will try to win their second consecutive preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams.

With 53 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Los Angeles tried to attempt a late game push but ran out of time. The Texans took a 24-20 lead with 53 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He led the Texans on a scoring drive by finding tight end Mason Schreck for an eight-yard touchdown pass. Houston gave up 75 yards on 13 plays, as Perkins put together his best drive of the game for Los Angeles. Houston went on to have their most successful offensive drive of the night. The Texans held on to the ball for a little over five minutes with 12 plays. Los Angeles' offensive struggles continued with another three-and-out despite the quarterback replacement. A personal foul from Rams' safety Russ Yeast added 15 additional yards to bring the Texans within the Rams' 18. Houston held Los Angeles to 4th-and-2 on their own 47, but the Texans allowed Wolford to convert a first-down by connecting with tight end Brycen Hopkins. The Texans' defense forced the Rams into their first three-and-out of the game. The Texans began their first drive with Davis Mills connecting with Nico Collins for 22 yards on two catches. But Friday night, the Texans will have their second dress rehearsal during a preseason showdown against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.

and returned for a touchdown, keeping the Rams in the game after they fell behind, 14-6. Rose fumbled a handoff on third-and-1 in the second half, one play before the Rams were forced to punt. Wolford just flat-out dropped the ball after taking the snap on first-and-10, which set the Rams up with second-and-15, ultimately leading to a punt. He had very little time in the pocket, Landen Akers dropped a pass that would’ve gone for a nice gain and the rushing attack got nothing going to complement him. Durant forced a fumble on the opening drive, recorded a sack on the Texans’ second possession and nearly pulled in an interception during Houston’s final drive of the first half. That just didn’t happen on Friday night when the Rams hosted the Texans, a game they lost 24-20.

The Texans first-team offense had one strong drive in an overall lackluster outing against the Rams.

He also tacked on two impressive blocks in passing protection, including one on the touchdown to Quitoriano The Texans recorded five sacks against the Rams’ offense during the first and second quarters. Safety Grayland Arnold met Wolford behind the line of scrimmage for a loss of seven yards, leading to another punt from Los Angeles. That would set up the 8-yard touchdown from Driskel to Shreck. - Rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano made the most of his five drives Friday evening. A sack by Rams defensive tackle Jonah Williams nearly ended Mills’ night on the second drive thanks to a missed block by offensive lineman Max Sharping. Houston finished tied with the Jacksonville Jaguars for fifth-fewest sacks last season. On the opening drive, Rams quarterback John Wolford elected to throw away from his direction. And while it went down to the wire, the Texans never wavered in signs of adversity late. On the second drive, he targeted Stingley early. If not for the final drive, Houston’s first-team offense would once again be under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. [Texans coach Lovie Smith](https://www.si.com/nfl/texans/news/houston-preseason-los-angeles-rams-derek-stingley-jr-halftime) said throughout the week that Houston’s first-round pick would play this preseason, but he never gave an exact date.

Here are five things we learned from the Los Angeles Rams' 24-20 loss to the Texans Friday night at SoFi Stadium.

The second was a fumble forced by cornerback Duron Lowe on a Texans punt return which tight end Roger Carter Jr. The first, a forced fumble by linebacker Jake Gervase that was recovered by defensive back Derion Kendrick, led to a 36-yard field goal by kicker Matt Gay. In-game photo highlights, take a look! He finished the night completing 14 of 22 passes for 142 yards and was sacked five times. He ended the night completing 10 of 12 passes for 95 yards. Defensive lineman Jonah Williams turned in one of the best performances by a Rams defensive player Friday night, recording four total tackles (one for loss) and a sack-fumble.

Check out some of the best photos of Bryce Perkins and the Rams from their preseason game against the Texans.

The Houston Texans defense got a signature takeaway to seal their 24-20 preseason win over the Los Angeles Rams.

The Texans go back to NRG Stadium on Aug. Marlon Mack saw eight carries for 29 yards with the first team, averaging 3.6 yards per carry. Derek Rivers, Demone Harris, and linebacker Christian Kirksey also had sacks for the Texans. First-team defensive linemen Jonathan Greenard and Roy Lopez had sacks in the first quarter. Jeff Driskel threw the go-ahead touchdown to tight end Mason Schreck for eight yards to push Houston ahead 24-20. Arnold, who finished with four combined tackles, a tackle for loss, a quarterback hit, and 1.0 sack, collected the loose ball on the game’s final play to ensure first-year coach Lovie Smith started off his Texans tenure perfect in preseason play.

Carter and Russ Yeast played the most snaps among the safety group, with Dan Isom and Jairon McVea playing 24 and 22 snaps respectively. Kendrick played the most of the three (28 snaps), with Rochell and Durant each playing 23 snaps. Arcuri played 28 snaps and looked like the best lineman on the field throughout the night. Jacob Harris also got a bunch of opportunities in his return to the field after missing Week 1, playing 62% of the snaps. As previously mentioned, Evans and Kolone were the only players to play every snap in the game. Bobby Evans was among the blockers who struggled, and it’s probably not a great sign that the fourth-year safety is playing as much as he is.

The Rams tried to mount a fourth-quarter rally as Sessions ran in from 12 yards out and his ensuing two-point conversion run made it a 36-27 game.

Cole Partridge scored on a 15-yard run and Gavin Davis’s extra point gave the Rams an early 7-0 lead.

According to Nick Underhill of [NewOrleans.Football,](https://twitter.com/nick_underhill) Payton is retiring and will not be interested in coaching as of this time.

After two weeks of preseason football, here is an updated final roster projection including a notable cut on offense. Bubble player Lance McCutcheon continued his excellent play, adding another five receptions and 98 yards.

The Rams cut their roster down to 80 players Saturday, and Kendall Blanton was surprisingly among the 5 players waived.

Shockingly, Kendall Blanton was among the five players waived by the Rams, which leaves Brycen Hopkins as the No. Rose were also cut by the Rams. The Los Angeles Rams wrapped up their second week of the preseason on Friday night, losing to the Houston Texans, 24-20.

McVay discussed what he saw from Wolford in the Rams' preseason Week 2 game.

While the Rams hope neither has to see much playing time this season He would finish the game completing 14 of 22 passes for 142 yards. "I was pleased with John, I thought he did what he could based on some of the circumstances and surrounding parts," McVay said. John Wolford, the presumed Stafford backup, would suddenly find himself in a potential battle for that spot after the Rams' preseason Week 1 game. After trading for Matthew Stafford last offseason, who subsequently led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory, the Rams are set at quarterback. Rams' coach Sean McVay was pleased with what he saw from Wolford, even if the circumstances for him weren't always ideal.

Another night for Lance McCutcheon, a struggle for the backup offensive line.

Williams was a star on the defensive line, showing up in both the run and pass game. With his performance on Friday, Williams showed why he deserves a roster spot and a place in the defensive line rotation. It was Hopkins who drew Von Bell down on Matthew Stafford’s no-look pass in the Hopkins should have a larger, more consistent role in the offense this season. The young safety came up with two plays on third down - one of which was an open-field tackle on Rex Burkhead and the other a pass breakup to force a punt on 3rd-and-9. After being on the end of a communication breakdown in the secondary, Terrell Burgess bounced back on Friday night. Decobie Durant should have had an interception in the first half, but did finish the night with a sack. Last season, Perkins joined the Rams as a raw player, but has developed nicely over the last year. In the second half, Duron Lowe shined. The Rams offensive line allowed six sacks on Friday night which isn’t a great number at first glance. However, when it comes to the preseason, it’s less about the final score and more about how the players perform on the field as they compete for places on the 53-man roster. There are times when it looks like he doesn’t belong on the same field as a lot of guys who might make the opposing teams’ practice squad.

The LA Rams rookie's season is over after his second preseason outing.

I think the flexibility, the bend, just the overall athleticism and then just the mental makeup.” McVay admitted that the Wisconsin connection made the evaluation of Bruss easier. "Bruss is going to be a guy who comes in and immediately continues to compete and raise the standards in that room,” McVay said. “Just the overall athleticism,” McVay said of Bruss’ ability this spring. “He was starred.

Los Angeles Rams guard Logan Bruss had a difficult night on Friday against the Houston Texans, but news only got worse as the game went on.

This should increase Chris Garrett and Keir Thomas’s bids for the roster. The Rams are starting Coleman Shelton at right guard and Bruss may not have even won the backup job headed into the season, with an expected “redshirt” year for 2022. Bruss left with a knee injury and Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed on Saturday that the rookie third round pick out of Wisconsin tore both his ACL and MCL against the Texans.
