For Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, the clock on the wall ticks louder by the day. Heck, it is clicking louder by the minute. When you go 4-12, and are a familiar companion to life below the Mendoza Line, you can’t afford to wait long on getting better.
Thanks to the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, teams are prohibited from contact with players during this time of year. That means no film, no conversations,, no talking about the playbook, no anything. It’s dead time, and in Los Angeles where every moment will count, it’s like waiting to drive the car idling on the 405.
