THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The standard is the standard.
No explanation needed if you play for the Los Angeles Rams. The standard has just come to be known.

"We set the bar and there are no excuses," safety John Johnson III said, as a quizzical look spread across his face and his voice raised a few octaves. "It's hard to explain! You just kind of know from experience."
Hallway walls and meeting rooms inside the team's temporary training facility are adorned with phrases handpicked by second-year coach Sean McVay.
