The Los Angeles Rams are moving closer to the beginning of the final phase of the offseason conditioning program. That would be the time when all players can come together on a field and go through full-squad practices (with some limitations, of course): organized team activities.

The Rams' first OTA is set for May 31 at their current temporary training facility in Oxnard, Calif. Before we get there, we're counting down five of the questions we'll look to get answered when the Rams get going again:

The question: The way the Rams operate, OTAs is the first chance for the rookies and veterans to come together for on-field activities. That means it will be Jared Goff's first chance to go against NFL competition. How will the Rams handle Goff's transition and what can he expect during OTA practices?

Outlook: Long before they moved up from No. 15 to No. 1 to draft Goff, the Rams were adamant that Case Keenum would be the team's starting quarterback at the beginning of the offseason program. Even after drafting Goff, that's likely to be the case. Rams coach Jeff Fisher has said repeatedly that he doesn't intend to throw Goff in before he's ready, though he's also acknowledged that the hope is to have Goff working with the first unit "sooner than later." So as the Rams open OTAs, it's safe to expect Keenum to be working with the No. 1 offense. The only question is whether Goff will begin getting some reps with the starters right off the bat as well.

As it stands, the Rams have four quarterbacks on the roster, including Keenum, Goff, Sean Mannion and Nick Foles. They aren't going to carry four during the season, so one (likely Foles) will have to go. When that happens remains to be seen, but in the meantime the Rams also don't have enough practice reps to go around for four quarterbacks. That's especially true because the Rams need to get Goff as much work as possible as soon as possible. He had the benefit of being the only quarterback at the team's rookie orientation, but that's not the same as doing it with the entire team present.

Goff is transitioning from Cal's "Bear Raid" spread offense that had him playing out of the shotgun almost exclusively. The Rams will likely sprinkle in some more shotgun concepts during OTAs to help ease Goff's adjustment, but they'll also need to get him comfortable working from under center. Taking snaps under center is about timing and rhythm so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get him some work with first-team center Tim Barnes in order to get him acclimated to working with the top unit. Beyond the mechanics of that, Goff is going to have to adjust to the speed he's going to see on defense. At his first press conference, Goff made it clear that he knows that will be one of the biggest challenges he faces going into the NFL. The guess here is that the Rams will have Goff working with the backups for the most part but also get him in with the starters on occasion in order to get him used to working with that group. And remember, while the Rams do go starters vs. starters on occasion in practice, working with the second team also yields opportunities to face the starting defense. Defensive coordinator Gregg Williams isn't one to go easy on his offensive counterparts, which means Goff will have some early struggles -- but the type of struggles the Rams hope will pay off in the long run.
