It didn’t take long for the Los Angeles Rams to be back in a Super Bowl. Three years afteran appearance against the New England Patriots, they are back in the NFL‘s biggest game aiming to claim the Vince Lombardiat home.
Of course, a lot has passed since that 3-13 defeat. And even though making it to the Super Bowl was an impressive feat,that nightproved they’d have a lot of work to do to become true contenders.
Many changeswere made, the Rams improved on every aspect and trading Jared Goff for Matthew Staffordpaid off immediately. What remained unchanged isthe head coaching position, as Sean McVay hopes to have a better result this time against theBengals.
Rams head coach Sean McVay explains what he’ll change fromhis previous Super Bowl experience
“There’s 20 games of inventory, you can drive yourself crazy if you watch too much,” McVay saidin a press conference, as quoted by Clutchpoints.“Being able to specifically delegate the time appropriately, put your players in what you think is the best spots… I think it’s trusting the players, trusting yourself and trusting everybody around you. Just to be in the moment and then let them go play with a quieted mind.”
McVay knows howdemanding preparingfor a Super Bowl can be but he has also learnedthatit doesn’t do any good to overthink too much in the process. So he’s taking a different approach this time.
“It’s important to specifically allocate the game planin a way that’s digestible and very clear for the players but not feeling like you got to overwhelm them early on in the week… What I thought I did a mistake of the last time, you have the mindset that we want to put the majority of it in before we travel to Atlanta, but in the back of my head, I always knew I had another week and you’re tweaking and different things like that. I think I tinkered with that too much.”
