​Sean McVay of the Los Angeles Rams talking with Trent Mcduffie #22, and Quentin Lake #37 during Rams training camp at Loyola Marymount University on Sunday, August 2nd in Westchester, CA.LOS ANGELES–– There’s much to marvel at in the sky even when clouds are absent. Birds suspended in flight. Planes traversing the blue expanse. The sun walking across the face of the firmament.Nothing is there to obstruct your vision.Even with the Rams in shirts and t-shirts on Day 7 of Training Camp, an exhale disguised as effort—the day more relaxed, the tempo dialed down—there was much to observe when it appears otherwise. How butterflies lined up in the backfield and onside, indifferent to the millionaires in its midst. And yet the things that matter most in July rarely happen at full speed.How Trent McDuffie used every rep to dial in and hone his craft. How Sean McVay and Chris Shula taught seasoned vets an install as they walked through.Kyren Williams joked with McDuffie, Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Jaylen Watson. Jordan Whittington and Xavier Smith took reps at punt return. The defense yelled calls while they executed their hand signals. McVay, always seeking to add value, coached up Quentin Lake and McDuffie.The defense worked on different blitz packages. The defensive line worked on games, stunts and twists. The offensive line worked on identifying it all and executing pickups.Sunday was the third day of the Rams’ second training camp block—a scheduled walk-through practice without pads or contact. No hitting. No flying. Just football in its purest form. Teaching. Learning. Building.”It’s a mental grind,” Davante Adams said. “It’s a combination of mental and physical. It’s not just supposed to come out here and just tear your body down to separate the boys from the men. That’s the old school way of doing things.”The old school way? That’s not this team. This team is different.Sean McVay is a teacher first.He stood on the grass at LMU, watching, correcting, coaching. Not just the offense. Not just his side. Everyone. He coached up Lake and McDuffie on the defense. He roamed. He observed. He poured.”Most importantly, our job is to provide clarity for our players so that they can go out there, play as quick, as decisive as possible, without any sort of indecision when there’s 22 moving parts every single snap,” McVay said.Clarity. That’s the word. Not complexity. Not volume. Clarity.”If we’re at a certain point in our installs and we don’t really show that we have the ownership of stuff, then we’re not going to install the following day,” McVay said. “We’ll go back to it.”No rushing. No racing. No installing for the sake of installing. Just teaching. Just learning. Just building that foundation brick by brick.”We take it a day at a time,” McVay said. “Let’s raise the floor as much as we possibly can for the consistency.”Chris Shula is the quiet architect.Shula spends these walk-through days building the architecture for that proof.
