Weeks ago Sean McVay was told during an interview that he had a “great team”, to which the head coach slyly responded, “Got a chance to be (great).” This interaction happened before the Myles Garrett trade, but McVay’s response still applies. Yes, this Los Angeles Rams team looks great on paper, but will this team put it together on the field?
The facts are the facts and this team isn’t great, yet.
The reality is that every team has a better chance at not hoisting the Lombardi Trophy come February than they do winning the Super Bowl. That includes the Rams.
When you lose key guys before Week 1 it can cost you games early in the season which in turn can cost you a playoff spot or seeding late in the season.
This team isn’t great, yet.
Likely the biggest question for L.A. going into this year is their special teams unit which has been inconsistent at best over the last few seasons.
So, there are some question marks for these Rams, and though the Rams look to have plenty of the right pieces to be a top team in the NFL, Sean McVay said it right that this squad will get the “chance to be” (great), but here in June this team isn’t great, yet.
