Lockett showed he has the ability to be a game changer on offense and in the return game at the pro level. Clark was a beast in every position on the defensive line; he caused havoc in the backfield and showed that he has great versatility.
The Rams went 0-4 in preseason and struggled in some key areas, especially the offensive line and in the run game. We all know that preseason records are generally poor indicators of how much success a team will achieve during the regular season. Both the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings went undefeated during the 2014 preseason, and neither finished above .500.
