On Friday, Sean McVay spoke to the media for the final time before coaching in his ninth season opener with the franchise.

Q: You've known Texans’ Head Coach DeMeco Ryans from his time as the 49ers Defensive Coordinator. How does that familiarity that influence offensive strategy?

"It affects it. I think you have tremendous respect for what DeMeco is about. There's just a lot of respect, a lot of appreciation for the style of play, the commitment to a philosophy, understanding the types of players that can really bring that to life. I think when you look at what DeMeco has done in two years, he has quickly put his imprint on that football team."

"They play hard. There's a certain philosophy at which they play and I think it's a lot of times reflected in his personality. I mean that in a positive way. It's a great challenge but that's what makes this stuff worth it. Every single week you feel like you're up here, great coaching, great players. This is a team that's won their division the last couple years, been to the Divisional Round and they've got a lot of cool pieces that they've added. They've got a new offensive coordinator who we're familiar with, but don't know what he's going to do. We're looking forward to rolling this thing out and getting going at 1:25(PM) on Sunday.”

Q: Have you ever discussed adding the ‘tush-push’ with QB Matthew Stafford?

"No (laugh). He's done it for so long, but we always joke, he's a terrible sneaker. He ended up having some good sneaks last year. The Eagles do it unbelievably. There's a technique, there's a commitment to it, and it's really remarkable. There's a reason why they've done it different than others. Obviously, Buffalo’ is another team, but to answer your question you won't be seeing much tush-push from the LA Rams. We don't have to worry about defending that one for us.”
