PRO FOOTBALL: DAILY REPORT : RAMS : Scrimmage With Chargers Is Even
Jim Everett’s 49-yard touchdown pass to Flipper Anderson and defensive end Gerald Robinson’s quarterback pressure provided the highlights, while a sluggish running attack and a physically outmanned secondary were the lowlights of the Rams’ 14-14 scrimmage against the Chargers at UC San Diego.
The Rams played without their top three cornerbacks--Todd Lyght and Darryl Henley are out with hamstring problems and No. 2 pick Steve Israel is unsigned. Charger quarterback John Friesz completed touchdown passes of 52 and 33 yards to receiver Robert Clairborne.
The Rams, after early offensive problems, answered those scores with Everett’s well-timed toss to Anderson down the right sideline over Pro Bowl cornerback Gill Byrd and rookie quarterback T.J. Rubley’s 26-yard scoring throw to fellow rookie Todd Kinchen.
