McVay, Rams Ready for Regular SeasonBy Myles Simmons
After a bevy of practices and four exhibition games, the preseason has come to a close with Thursday’s loss to the Packers. And with it, Rams head coach Sean McVay and the rest of the club appear ready to move on to games that count.
“I thought it was a great opportunity to see a handful of guys compete who maybe haven’t gotten a chance in the first few preseason games,” McVay said after the contest. “We feel good with where we’re at, and looking forward to getting going in the regular season now.”
From going through the last four weeks, McVay said he’s grown comfortable with the game management aspects of being a head coach. And while McVay said he’s not anticipating everything to be flawless, he does continue to feel good about being able to lean on defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and special teams coordinator John Fassel for their experience in different situations.
“I think we feel really good collectively as a staff,” McVay said. “I thought the preseason was an excellent opportunity to be able to work through some of those things so that by the time you reach that first regular-season game, you’re not having to say, ‘Oh, well, if this comes up, then what will we do?’ You’ve been able to work through those situations and scenarios where, we know it’s not going to be perfect, but at least we feel good about having a big picture in mind and knowing how we want to adjust and adapt to what comes up.”
