While McVay said he wouldn’t be tossing domineering defensive tackle Aaron Donald or starting quarterback Matthew Stafford into formal exhibition action, he did say this preseason would harken back…
IRVINE –– Rams coach Sean McVay hasn’t been fond of giving his top players reps in exhibition games, but with a roster brimming with rookies and other signs of a transitional period present, a new approach appeared to be afoot this preseason.
“I just know that whenever I’m asked to play, I’m going to go play, and whenever I’m not, I’m not, and I understand that,” Stafford said. “As a competitor, you always want to play but at the same time I totally understand the choice not to, especially with the amount of experience I’ve had in this league.”
“He just felt a little tweak. It was a red-zone route. He just felt a little tightness in his hamstring. I don’t think it’s anything to be overly concerned with but we want to be able to be smart with him. I’m hopeful to get him back out here sooner than later,” McVay said.With the height of a basketball forward and the girth of one of the world’s strongest man competitors, offensive tackle Rob Havenstein has to really work at going unnoticed.
Havenstein, a 2015 second-round pick, came into his own under McVay and opposite now retired left tackle Andrew Whitworth, a foundational figure in the Rams’ two Super Bowl appearances and one victory. McVay has gained an even deeper appreciation for Havenstein, whom he described as “an extension” of the coaching staff, during the difficult moments of last year’s injury-riddled, all-time-worst, 5-12 title defense and the current youth movement in the Rams’ locker room. In a campaign during which 14 different linemen started for the Rams, Havenstein not only missed zero games, he barely missed any snaps.
