Sean McVay still adjusting to the big-picture aspect of his job
By VINCENT BONSIGNORE
In the big-picture world Sean McVay now oversees in Los Angeles, the events that unfolded on Saturday should have elicited a wide smile.
The Rams defense was flying all over the field, making life difficult for quarterback Jared Goff both in pressure created and blanketing his wide receivers with air-tight coverage. Even on a first day of training camp and with everyone running around in shorts and helmets and All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald holed up somewhere in a contract dispute, it was a thing of beauty the show the Rams defense put on.
McVay, the Rams’ 31-year-old first-year head coach, should have been ecstatic.
But he wasn’t.
Not by a long shot.
The former offensive coordinator in him was seething. Rather than seeing things from the 10,000-foot vantage point he now occupies as the leader of both sides of the ball, he was viewing practice through the narrow offensive-centric lens he’s worn for most of his coaching career.
From which, the defense is the enemy that needs to be crushed.
The setting doesn’t matter in the least, be it practice, games, a walk-through or 7-on-7 or 11-on-11 drills.
For that matter, it could be a pickup game in the back yard.
The point is to win the battle.
