The Rams, possibly without their most important players on offense and defense next season, might take a page from the Seahawks on how to rebuild quickly
INGLEWOOD — Rams coach Sean McVay was going to defer to the medical staff again after fielding another injury question during this lost season filled with injuries.
“I think what I do is I defer to those,” McVay said before altering his response. “Yeah, it’s definitely a relief because I think that’s positive that he’s out of that protocol. So, that’s one of those steps that you feel good about, and then continuing to gather the appropriate information. How long is the neck thing? What exactly is it? It’s not something that has been communicated that’s anything that you worry about in terms of the long term as it leads to next year and things like that.
And maybe that’s something Stafford, 34, considers in the offseason after sustaining a concussion and neck injury two weeks apart. It’s also concerning that Stafford felt numbness in his legs after taking a sack during the third quarter of the Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints.The decision to play next season, however, doesn’t belong to the team – that one is for Stafford and his family.
“He’s been on the field every time since I’ve been a Ram,” cornerback Jalen Ramsey said. “So it will be different.” “I think it’s a credit to the culture that they’ve built there,” McVay said about the Seahawks’ quick rebuild. “They’ve got a very clear philosophy with John Schneider and Coach Carroll in terms of who they want onboard, what they want it to look like, and I think that’s served them really well. It’s why they’ve been so consistently successful over the last handful of years.
