Cox/Getty Images) | Getty Images Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead joined Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth on the “Fitz & Whit” podcast to talk major offseason storylines and a general outlook on the team and its strategy. It’s a long form conversation that lasts nearly an hour and a half. It’s rare that we see this much behind the curtain and hear from Snead to this length based on the time of the offseason.
These are the topics Snead touched on with the Amazon Prime and Thursday Night Football duo: Les Snead is an “LA guy” now He counts his steps and drinks sparkling water. He’s a long ways away from his southern upbringing and college football career at Auburn. Snead discusses how he digests film and books over walks.
How did Rams land on McDuffie trade? Rams contemplated the idea of drafting multiple rookies in an effort to revamp corner back room. They looked at picks #13 and #29 overall, and asked themselves whether they wanted to watch 28 players come off the board for such a major need.
