THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Sean McVay knew it wasn’t for everyone.
But the Los Angeles Rams coach stuck to his plan and kept his offensive starters on the sideline, with his refreshed playbook under wraps, the entire preseason.
The result?
The offense started the season healthy, with some rust, but also with plenty of promise as the unit overcame a slow start in a season-opening victory over the Oakland Raiders.
“I think just any first-time games at the beginning of the year, you’re dealing with some of that,” quarterback Jared Goff said of the rust.
