Rams coach Sean McVay helped end Aaron Donald's holdout
ESPN.com news services

One of the men who had a role in ending the stalemate between the Los Angeles Rams and Aaron Donald was rookie head coach Sean McVay, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Rather than traveling with the team to Green Bay for the Rams' final preseason game, McVay went to Atlanta with Rams executives to meet with Donald's representatives to see if they could find a compromise, sources tell Schefter.

McVay later flew from Atlanta to Green Bay to rejoin his team in time for that night's preseason game, but he missed the team activities earlier that day.

McVay's presence in Atlanta rather than being in Green Bay with his team was a sign of how important it was to him to have Donald back on the roster.

The Atlanta meeting helped increase dialogue between the two sides, and it helped result in Donald reporting to work Saturday, though he will not play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

:redcard:They didn't need him.

Should put an end to all the bullshit haters of saying the team is alienating him.

McVay will be coach of the year and one of the historic greatest coaches ever.

There were a lot of ways our defense could be better, and AD is going to make them better if and when he gets back in there doing what he does. Add about four or five splash plays from him to today's defensive effort, and things would have been uglier for the Colts.

That said, fact remains he's a DT. He's not a requirement to build this thing right. So hopefully right now he's taking a new look not only at McVay and this regime, but also his demands. Get him signed, but don't get all stupid doing it, that's all I care about. No change there on my end and I hope it gets done still.
