Re: this is concerning...

McVay definitely has some personality quirks we'll call them based on how he handled Goff and others.

To me this looks like a situation where Akers said play me more or else. and McVay said "or else" and sent akers on time out to have a think.

Akers realizes he gets no value sitting at home and is going to play ball for now. If he doesn't play much or the Rams keep losing, then this will likely flare up again.
