Les Snead on Sean McVay: We're in lockstep, work together on these decisions
The Rams G.M. said on Friday that he and McVay are collaborative and want to do what's best for the team after selecting QB Ty Simpson on Thursday night.
After the Rams selected quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13 overall on Thursday night, head coach Sean McVay was noticeably subdued during his press conference with General Manager Les Snead. Whatever the reason for it, McVay's reaction was enough to get Snead asked about it — and the reaction of reigning MVP Matthew Stafford — during a Friday radio interview with ESPN Los Angeles.
"I think Sean had a chat with Matthew before last night. And that’s one thing that Matthew’s definitely earned ," Snead told The Sedano and Cap Morning Show . "It’s one of the things that we’re working together to go through it.
Matthew is on his way to, I would say this, a Hall of Fame career, right? And he still has gas left in the tank. And big picture, our vision’s always been, hey, let’s make the most of this time with Matthew and his teammates — let’s chase special together, however long that may [last].
I mentioned at the beginning of the segment, there’s no timeline on this. The longer, the better. Matthew just came off an MVP season, so if he continues playing, it’s like, this is better for everyone involved.
