It is not revolutionary to think how McVay is such a huge improvement at HC. Pretty obvious. But I've always had in mind a few areas where he needs to improve (and assume he will). 1) Play calling (this tendency to get away from the run is well documented), and 2) improving his press conferences.
What? Improve his what?
Well, I am probably alone in tiring of his taking all the blame for everything and giving praise upon any and all, even when it flies in the face of all logic. It is probably the right way to be, but makes for REALLY boring press conferences. For all the stupid things Fisher used to say, it was kind of fun to listen and call him on his B.S. later.
But this linked end-of-season press conference above has made me change my thinking. The way he compliments everyone around the league (including saying he's stolen so many of Gruden's plays, etc.) makes it clear how he has fostered this mutual admiration society feel throughout the league and what he's doing to the Rams image.
I really thought we were going to crush the Falcons this weekend. But I'm getting over my disappointment by comparing our reputation now with McVay at the helm vs red-flag-fumbling Fisher's team a year ago.
Time to get ready for being a fan of a perennial contender, well respected by other NFL teams. Worth more than any one game.
