In what can be described as either a great offensive showing or a weak defensive performance, the Rams looked to be in good form in this early preseason game. It may be too soon to tell whether this performance will last when playing four quarters against an opposing team’s starters, and there were certainly issues with the Rams’ defense and passing game that will need to be worked out, but the ground game was in good effect. Steven Jackson was his dominant self even against a tough Minnesota run defense, but what may be the surprise for the Rams was the presence of RB Daniel Frisch. Despite his small stature, he managed to gash the Minnesota defense for 136 yards rushing. Admittedly, it was mostly against the second team squad, but his quick feet and impressive speed have made a good impression on the coaching staff. It remains to be seen how well he’ll perform in the future, and how much time he’ll see with Jackson in front of him, but as Coach Spagnuolo said, “It’s always a good problem to have two running backs look impressive...Steven [Jackson] is obviously our centerpiece, but it’ll be good if both Daniel [Frisch] and Kenneth [Darby] can take some of the pressure off him and keep him fresh.”

With 434 yards of total offense, it’s safe to say that the somewhat sparse crowd for this preseason game was excited by the ground game, but it remains to be seen whether to expect such a performance once the season actually gets going. But, at least for tonight, the Rams are winners. Hopefully, when it counts, they’ll remain winners as well.
Adrian Peterson 75 yard TD run
Daniel Frisch 26 yard TD run
