By the way, hate the Rams but would love it if they go back to LA (where they belong) and go back to those old LA Rams uni's from the 70's and 80's.
Rams, Cowboys discuss training together in California
Nick Wagoner, ESPN St. Louis Rams reporter
EARTH CITY, Mo. -- West coast fans of the St. Louis Rams might be getting an earlier opportunity to see their team than even they expected.
The Rams, who are currently one of three teams pegged for a potential return to Los Angeles as early as 2016, are in the midst of discussions with the Dallas Cowboys to spend some time scrimmaging against each other during the preseason. The Cowboys train in Oxnard, California, about 65 miles from Los Angeles.
While nothing has been finalized yet, those talks have centered on the Rams staying in California after their preseason opener against the Oakland Raiders for a handful of practices against the Cowboys before traveling directly to Tennessee to play the Titans on Aug. 23. Dallas opens its preseason slate in San Diego. The first group of preseason games is scheduled to take place between Aug. 13-17.
Whether those talks are finalized or not will depend largely on how the schedules of the teams lay out. The NFL will announce dates and times for all games Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
It’s been common practice on the Dallas side to have other teams help break the monotony of camp by coming in for scrimmages during training camp. The Cowboys have practiced against San Diego and the Raiders in recent years.
While the potential of the Rams playing near the Los Angeles area is sure to draw the ire of some St. Louis fans, the bulk of the movement on this front stems from Rams coach Jeff Fisher’s desire to get his team some work against a different team this preseason.
The Rams have also had discussions with the Indianapolis Colts about training together. Training with either team would represent a departure from the first three years under Fisher when the Rams have trained alone at Rams Park.
Of course, the possibility of the Rams training in the Los Angeles area would raise some eyebrows given what’s currently going on in the market. The Rams left Los Angeles for St. Louis 20 years ago and are now rumored to be on their way back.
Rams owner Stan Kroenke is part of a group that plans to build a new 80,000-seat football stadium in Inglewood, California. That project will be presented to NFL executives and the six-owner Committee on Los Angeles Opportunities this week in advance of next month’s owners meetings in San Francisco
