Rams Coach McVay said plenty about QB Stetson Bennett, and you may not like it

(3) - Head Coach Sean McVay for sticking with Stetson Bennett

As we had stated before, there was a bit of quarterback whisperer in LA Rams HC Sean McVay in this one. Rather than pull Bennett from the game when the chips were down, McVay left Bennett in the game. The defense was playing well. And when he wasn't throwing the football into the hands of a defender, Bennett ws making some rather impressive throws.

The hardest decisions to make in life are frequently the decision to do nothing and wait it out. After all, have we always made matters better by getting more actively involved? In the case of leaving well enough alone in the first preseason game, it was the right choice. By letting their quarterback hit bedrock, and then pull off a win, the team proved to a desperate for positive news backup quarterback to trust his teammates, his coaching staff, and himself.

I could be way off base, but I think he grew significantly in this one preseason game.

(4) - An effective Rams rushing attack that kept the defense honest

The LA Rams rushed 28 times for 101 yards. Of that amount, Stetson Bennett recorded one key bootleg for five yards to move the chains and refresh another set of dows. But the team got 28 yards on 12 carries from second-year running back Zach Evans. And the team also enjoyed 68 rushing yards on 15 carries from veteran running back Boston Scott.

It was enough to remind the Rams offense that they can run the football effectively.

While the impact of 101 yards may not excite fans, this was a preseason game played by backups of backups in some cases. And that makes a huge difference, because the players competing in this game were not the players getting quality reps in training camp. These are the players were were not in the front of the line when it can to practices. And yet, when the team needed them to come through, they delivered.
