Savard opened with an event-appropriate level of ball-washing.

Snead expressed Fisher’s desire to build through the trenches. Fisher concurred, explaining that the point of emphasis in the draft was to counter the strong defensive fronts of the NFC West. That’s why they took Robinson. That’s why they tried to trade back into the first round to take Zack Martin.

On Tre Mason: Snead - The running back position was not part of the draft plan at all.

Fisher swooned over Aaron Donald.

On the 2010 Rams vs last year's Rams team: Demoff - I think last year’s team beats the 2010 team by 35 points.

On Sam Bradford not being ready for the beginning of the season: Snead - The answer is no,” Snead delivered firmly. “He’s throwing the football…he’s dropping back and making throws.” Snead followed with, “I was in the training room the other morning, he’s jumping around, I made the comment to our trainer ‘You know, I think I need to tear my ACL, maybe I would come back more athletic.

James Laurinaitis asked to describe new Defensive Coordinator, Greg Williams:
Describing Greg Williams is hard,” James admitted. “He’s borderline crazy…but I mean that in a good way.” He went on to emphasize the level of accountability that Williams brings when it comes to execution. “I didn’t know, I couldn’t hear, I do not understand” are not excuses for coach Williams according to James, they’re an indication that you’re not the guy for the job.
James also added that the presence of Williams seems to be having an off-the-field influence on some of the players. “I think the DB group is the hardest working group on the team,” Laurinaitis said. He added that both Trumaine Johnson and Janoris Jenkins have “grown up” and both seem to “get it” going into their third seasons. He added that both players have taken on a leadership role within the position group.

On not drafting a safety: Snead - The other safety is Rodney McLeod.
