Rams Win 30-14 Against Dallas
Prior to opening the preseason, owner Stan Kroenke fired Jeff Fisher. When asked about the decision, Kroenke stated "New GM, New City, New Roster....New Coach just made sense". The Rams new coach, Demetrius Turner, signed to a 1 year prove it deal - will run a base 4-3 and looks to bring a balanced attack on the offensive side of the ball.

Coleman proved reliable while running the ball, as Donald Brown never really got a chance to shine. Brown did catch a screen pass and turn it into a 17 yd td. Starter Rashad Jennings did nothing against the Cowboys 1st team defense.
