The Rams have announced two joint practices this summer against the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints, but what really happens when two NFL teams share the same field?
On this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by Fanduel, Erin Coscarelli and veteran offensive tackle Rob Havenstein break down why joint practices have become one of the most valuable parts of training camp. From competing against unfamiliar opponents to evaluating talent before the regular season, Rob explains why these practices often matter more than the preseason games themselves.
He also shares one unforgettable story about Aaron Donald during a joint practice against the Cincinnati Bengals and why the future Hall of Famer demanded respect on every play.
With Sean McVay expected to once again rest his starters throughout the preseason, Rob gives fans an inside look at how NFL players stay in shape during the offseason, prepare for training camp, and manage the physical demands of a 17-game season. Plus, he reveals just how grueling camp can be—and how the 6'8 tackle's weight once climbed to 380 pounds!
