The Los Angeles Rams head coach spoke to reporters on Friday
Before the team's final practice, Rams head coach Sean McVay held a press conference from the team's facility.“The first time I met him. You can just tell when someone's that way. He’s been doing it his whole career and not just on the football field.
. When you watch him play basketball and stuff like that, he's a physical dude. That’s his elite trait amongst other really good traits. I guess if you really want me to pinpoint it, that first game verse Seattle in 2023."

It’s the inside edge of the numbers at five yards. Matthew made it happen. It was my first ‘wow’ live moment in a game with Matthew. I was like, ‘How did you fit that in there?’ He takes a play that probably should have gone three or four and got a 14 or 15 . We ran the ball in on third-and-goal in the one or two on the next play. It was like, there's something special there. It was his first game. It just keeps on happening. You're never surprised by anything he does anymore.” Q: What did you see from Beaux Limmer playing right and left guard on Sunday and what it takes to make that transition mid game? “It's tough," stated LaFleur. "Let's even date it back to last January, he played three interior positions in his last two football games on Sundays. That’s not easy to do. You’re changing your stance. Sometimes you have to snap it, obviously he didn’t in this last game. I have respect for him for doing that. He's only getting better and better at that guard position."

For him to go from left, next thing you know you pop on the screen on Monday and now he's on the right. It’s a testament to him. Was it perfect? No, it wasn't perfect. Again, respect and a lot of good stuff to learn from.”Brock Vierra, a UNLV graduate, is the Los Angeles Rams Beat Writer On Sports Illustrated.
