Facts About Sean McVay’S Punishment

LA’s wunderkind leader has a chance to be the head coach with the most wins in Ram’s history, but before that he’ll have to pass John Robinson.

Sean McVay has an overall record of 70-45 as the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams. The only Ram’s head coach with more wins than McVay is former Ram’s head coach, John Robinson. Robinson’s final record with the Rams was 75-68 which he compiled through the 1983 and 1991 seasons. McVay has been LA’s leading man since 2017. The rules of the NFL have changed since Robinson was in charge, and there are now 17 game seasons, but either way both coaches stand with winning records and at least 70 wins. That’s impressive.

With Mcvay being only five games away from tying Robinson, and six games away from being the all time winningest head coach in Ram’s history, I would expect that we hear Robinson’s name more than once this year. I want to shoutout my mom who was the one to give me the idea for this article. Robinson was just a bit before my time. Do any of you remember Robinson? Did you have a positive impression of him?

Robinson’s first player drafted in his regime was Eric Dickerson, one of the greatest Ram’s players of all time. Robinson during his time in the NFL also served as an assistant to John Madden. Robinson apparently even had Jeff Fisher on his own Ram’s staff at one point. Fisher would eventually have his chance as the Ram’s head coach too. Fisher did not have a winning record during that time, but it’s a great story that Fisher was an assistant and eventualy got a shot at head coach for the same team. Raheem Morris with the Atlanta Falcons, anyone?

The history of the Rams, whether it’s in Cleveland, LA, St. Louis and back to LA (did I miss any other places?) is rich. John Robinson remains a part of that deep history whether McVay breaks his record or not. Though McVay may be primed to pass 75 wins this season, and that does speak to his greatness, McVay’s greatness doesn’t take away from the successes of Robinson. Robinson should be on the Mt. Rushmore of Ram’s leading men. I hope if McVay breaks the record that we can all enjoy it, but also take a moment to remember the great John Robinson. Once a Ram always a Ram.

The Los Angeles Rams will be looking to improve their passing defense in the offseason, and there is no shortage of free agents that could help the team. In a recent article from Bleacher Report, they outline some veteran free agents that have gone under the radar and one of the players he lists as a potential fit for the Rams. And they think that New York Jets free safety Jordan Whitehead could be an intriguing fit for Los Angeles.

“Any team that needs a deep defender who can make plays on the ball and has a wealth of experience on good defenses should be giving Whitehead’s agent a call,” Ballentine writes. “The Los Angeles Rams should be in the safety market since both Jordan Fuller and John Johnson III are set to become free agents.” Whitehead led the Jets in interceptions this year with four and was one of the many bright spots on their defense. If another team takes a chance on the veteran safety, he could shine brighter as a key part of a defense. Related: Swiss Army Knife? Rams’ Lake Compares Himself To All-Pro Safety Even though Whitehead is only 26 years old, he has been in the league for six seasons, and for every game that he has appeared in except for four games, he has been a starter. The Rams could really use some help with their secondary, and a veteran like Whitehead could be an intriguing fit for a team that loves signing veterans to help their title chances.
