The star linebacker’s leadership and presence, and a walkie-talkie, lead to a productive practice as many Rams veterans enjoyed a day off
IRVINE — Bobby Wagner, the Rams’ new middle linebacker, had a chess match on the field Tuesday against quarterback Matthew Stafford and made sure the intensity level didn’t decline on a practice day when many veterans took it easy or didn’t participate.
Wagner likely didn’t expect to have walkie-talkies on his list of adjustments for his first training camp with the Rams after spending the past decade with the rival Seattle Seahawks. It’s been four months since Wagner decided to return home and sign with the Rams, but he’s still going through the emotions of having a training camp only 30 miles away from his hometown of Ontario, where he starred at Colony High.
Wagner was probably imparting wisdom as a Super Bowl champion and six-time First-Team All-Pro, but he likely also received pointers from Jones on how to play in Morris’ defensive scheme. Wagner said he doesn’t want to force his teammates to adjust to his play style and added that he wants to build on the foundation they have established under Rams coach Sean McVay and Morris.
