Take a look at top quotes from Offensive Coordinator Joe Lombardi, wide receiver Keenan Allen and outside linebacker Joey Bosa’s press conferences after Thursday’s practice.
Offensive Coordinator Joe Lombardi
On ‘if anything has stood out’ about the offense over the first two practices:
“It’s still so early. We’re just kind of installing the plays and running. We haven’t even hit any third downs yet. I think the guys are locked in. Today, I think we had a few alignment errors that we need to get cleaned up, but the guys are in shape and locked in and ready to go.

I expect to see growth from [RB] Larry [Rountree III] mentally, just being more reliable from that perspective. I’ll be excited to see [RB] Isaiah [Spiller] get going.
