“Jokes are never telling. They’re jokes.”
That’s a line by Jude Law in the first episode of The Young Pope. Some would say that the preseason is a joke, but that’s not quite true because we do know that these games can be telling. But hardly anything that happened on Saturday will be indicative of how the LA Rams will perform this season and by those standards, a 13-6 loss to the LA Chargers is in no way revealing.
We did, however, learn something about how the depth chart and third line of reserves could be shaking out for Sean McVay’s coaching staff.
