By now we already know the Los Angeles Rams fell to the Oakland Raiders this past Saturday in their first match of the 2019 preseason. Big deal, right? No...not really. The starters didn’t get any playing time, and that’s unlikely to change anytime soon. Sean McVay has made it abundantly clear that he’s not putting his starters in a position to get themselves hurt — and it’s hard to argue with him. Instead, depth players will get meaningful snaps and bubble guys will have an opportunity to stake their claim for a roster spot.
We’re only a few weeks removed from a time where wins and losses will matter.
