ST. LOUIS— New St. Louis Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo wanted an intense training camp and he’s got one.

On Wednesday, second-year linebacker Chris Chamberlain hit running back Steven Jackson’s knee while making a tackle. Fortunately for the Rams, Jackson was OK.
The West Coast offense being installed by new offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur focuses on short passes and the run. That should take advantage of Jackson, who has topped 1,000 rushing yards four straight years despite missing several games with injuries.
Jackson says there are no hard feelings for the low tackle. And he likes the intensity of the workouts under Spagnuolo, who is trying to turn around a team that was 2-14 last season and 5-27 over the past two seasons.
