But it always seemed odd that 1.  The two teams that just faced off in a SB would have a preseason game  against each other....  and 2.  They would do a joint practice.

I mean just about any other team would have been a better choice. lol

Actually, to me the Rams seemed like the obvious choice for two reasons.

1.  The Taylor/McVay connection.

2.  They were the team in town before our last preseason game.  With only 3 preseason games I think it might be a good ide to do this every year with the team we play in our final preseason game.  They can some great live reps against someone other than their teammates and there can be a lot of rules in place to avoid injuries (unlike an actual pre-season game).  Any player can get seriously injured in any practice, but practice is still  a lot safer than games.  "Touch tackles" on QBs and plays more than 10 yards downfield.  Zero low blocking.  Stuff like that.
