In context

KapadiaHere's where I want to start, is that Sean McVay is a great coach. He's a Hall of Fame coach. he's mastered I would say over 90 % of what you need to do to be a lead at the profession he has I don't know if it's a blind spot I don't know if it's a weakness I don't know what to call it he cannot figure out special teams and it cost the Rams again in this game with the blocked

Kapadiakick in overtime with the missed kick earlier with the big return that the Bills had to start the game And it's not a one game thing. Like, all right, teams have bad special teams games all the time. But for the Rams, this goes back to last year. It cost them games. It goes back to this year where they came into this game 32nd in special teams DVOA.

KapadiaAnd I just look at this. And if I'm in the Rams organization, I'm coming in tomorrow morning or if I'm the owner or whoever, president, Jim, when I have my meeting with Sean McVay, Sean, what resources do you need to fix our special teams? Do we need more assistant coaches? Do we need consultants?

KapadiaDo we need to make a trade for a kicker? Do we need to make trades at the back end of the roster to just improve the players we have on the field? Cause I'm telling you, I can just see it coming that they can have a great rest of the season. I still believe in this team.

KapadiaI think they're going to be there deep into the playoffs.

KapadiaBut if I'm a Rams fan or someone in that organization, I cannot after miles Garrett trade, after Matthew Stafford coming back after Puka. I can't let special teams be the reason that I'm not hoisting a Lombardi trophy at the end of the season. So that's my big takeaway. Billy was laughing. He didn't think I was going to start with special teams, but that's my big takeaway, Billy.
