I love it
LaFleur Out Of Playoffs But Involved:
LaFleur, whose team is out of the playoffs, is still trying to bounce Johnson and the Bears from the playoffs.
This week, as the Los Angeles Rams prepared for their Sunday evening Divisional Round game with the Bears, LaFleur spoke with Rams coach Sean McVay.
They are, after all, friends.
And friends do, sometimes, discuss their opinions. And work.
And ways to beat Ben Johnson and the Bears and ruin their run to a Super Bowl.
Sean McVay Plays Coy:
McVay was asked on Wednesday if he's talked to LaFleur this week.
"What would you guess?" the Rams coach replied with a sly grin.
"No, we watch the tape," McVay said. "We do our work and Matt is a very close friend."
There is no NFL rule against any of this, so we're all clear. It happens when coaches have relationships.
McVay and LaFleur were hired by Mike Shanahan to work with the Washington Redskins in 2010. They worked together on the offensive side of the ball for three years.
McVay And LaFleur Share Interests:
McVay then hired LaFleur to be his quarterbacks coach with the Rams in 2017.
And although McVay has spoken multiple times about how he has studied Johnson and respects his work, he has a side in the Johnson-LaFleur feud.
And it ain't Johnson's side.
It just so happens that this week, McVay has a personal interest in beating Johnson. And LaFleur has apparently offered whatever aid he can to see Johnson and the Bears go home.
