The St. Louis Rams have had to move their morning practices indoors due to blistering heat well in excess of 100-degrees, and the heat wave is expected to persist for at least the next three days, according to the National Weather Service.
"It's the hottest spot in the country right now," coach Scott Linehan told the Associated Press on Monday. "One of the precautions you take with extreme heat is to have an alternative plan." However, don't think the players are going soft - the climate control in the practice facility was set for the mid-80s and high humidity. "We want to be able to work the guys and get in shape," Linehan said. "We want them to feel it. It's designed that way, we don't want it too cool."
Will this help the team during the preseason or hurt them?
