The Rams plan to launch an ambitious virtual offseason program because of the coronavirus, and Sean McVay asked Clippers coach Doc Rivers for advice.
The Rams drafted nine players in eight position groups last week to help fill the voids.
Now McVay and his staff will attempt to prepare players for a season shrouded in uncertainty. The NFL will release the schedule by May 9, but the status of those games will be in flux as the nation, individual states and the NFL navigate the pandemic. The NFL and the players’ union agreed this month on parameters for the offseason program, which remains voluntary. The New Orleans Saints last week informed players they would not conduct an offseason program.
But the Rams are launching a nine-week program that can include online classroom instruction and virtual workouts. No on-field workouts are permitted until — or unless — all team facilities are allowed to reopen. Offseason programs must end by June 26.“We’ve got a plan, but I’m sure we’ll adjust and adapt accordingly based on the players’ feedback and some of the coaches,” McVay said.
Receiver Cooper Kupp said it would be impossible to replace the feel of working together in person to hone timing, recognize coverages and sharpen in-the-moment decisions.
