Rams coach sees steady improvement at non-contact practices
The coach said Organized Team Activities show progress in pre-snap operation and communication. He added that full evaluation requires contact drills with pads.
Rams coach Sean McVay said Organized Team Activities have produced steady improvement in pre-snap operation, communication, and alignment. McVay stated that non-contact practices provide limited information because they do not involve physical contact.
Assessment of current sessions "I've seen steady improvement, but this isn't real football until we put the pads on," McVay said. He noted positive work on minimizing injury risk and learning how to practice safely while still pushing teammates.
Outlook for upcoming period McVay said the group shows a positive vibe but added that substantial work remains before contact practices begin. The coach indicated that full assessment of the roster will occur only after pads are introduced.
