"To have one monumental event and have the active shooter was enough for one whole career. Then you add on a fire that impacts the exact same area, we just didn't have a chance to breathe."The Rams train in Thousand Oaks, where 12 people were killed in a mass shooting at a country music bar on Nov. 7. The next day a pair of wildfires broke out in Ventura and Los Angeles counties, forcing thousands of people to flee.Roberts got off work Monday morning.

The game was originally scheduled to be played in Mexico City before the NFL moved it back to Los Angeles due to poor field conditions."To come together, take a deep breath and watch some good football is monumental," Roberts said.The Thousand Oaks Titans youth football team, who trained at the Rams facility last Friday before its Pacific Youth Football League final Troy Hill Jersey , were also at the game after being treated to a pregame VIP tailgate party."It was very hard. We had kids coming in from as far as San Bernardino and Long Beach where they had been relocated. They came every night, just sometimes we didn't have fields to practice on," coach Steve Szakos said.Several of the 25 players 鈥?including quarterback Jacob Poley 鈥?were evacuated from their homes.

You have to appreciate everything," the 14-year old Poley said.The California Lutheran University Choir sang the National Anthem and were joined by first responders, who held the flag. Cal Lutheran alumnus Justin Meek, who was one of the 12 victims in the shooting, was a member of the choir for four years."They are honored to be singing and share in everything. For these students to go back out and be with other people is good Michael Brockers Jersey ," choir director Wyant Morton said.Karen and Jordan Helus, the wife and son of fallen Ventura County Sheriff Sergeant Ron Helus, lit the LA Coliseum torch prior to kickoff.Ventura County Sheriff sergeants Jason Robarts and Dave Brantley both knew Helus for over 25 years and said that he would be overwhelmed with the outpouring of support for his family."Seeing everyone come out it makes you get through it a lot easier," Robarts said. "The guy was one of the most tactically sound. If there was someone I wanted to go in and deal with a situation it was this guy. What is hard is we had the right person doing the job."Dylan and Derek Adler, the 17- and 12-year old sons of Sean Adler, served as honorary water boys for the game. Sean Adler was a member of the security team at the bar."It's a way to get my mind off everything. It's almost overwhelming what people are willing to do for us," Dylan Adler said.Kevin Demoff, the Rams Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Ethan Westbrooks Jersey , said after the Rams 54-51 victory that the game was one way for the organization to show its appreciation to everyone."Right after the Borderline shooting you are trying to figure out how to lead your community and 12 hours later you are wondering if you are even going to have a community," he said. "Our organization saw it not as a challenge but really an opportunity to put the best of Los Angeles and its people on display and I think you saw that tonight." The Rams have signed some players to fill out their roster, including the brother of your favorite slot receiver."Rams rookie will play any position, including defensive line | Rams WireSome fans were curious as to why the Rams selected a safety in the second round with S John Johnson III and SnEric Weddle on the roster. However, it seems like S Taylor Rapp is so versatile that he can play linebacker in sub-packages as well, given that he’s such a capable tackler. I like this pick more and more.
