On Thursday, Rams Defensive Coordinator Chris Shula spoke about Omar Speight's injury and potential replacements, something McVay addressed in his presser.

Q: What are you looking for during practice when evaluating who will replace ILB Omar Speights in the event he’s unable to play on Sunday due to injury?

Just execution, guys playing hard and communicating everything we want," stated Shula. "Obviously, we're always trying to get our best 11 on the field, whether that's different packages or different things that we can do."

"You’re always looking at that. We're always rolling in guys. [Inside Linebackers Coach] Greg Williams does a great job developing depth and rolling those guys in. They always know they're a play away to play. It's the same thing every single week.”

Q: What did Shaun Dolac do to make the team as an undrafted free agent?

“You could tell pretty early that the game wasn't too big for him. Like we were talking about with Omar [Speights], you can almost talk to him like a coach even though he is a really young player that obviously hasn't played much yet, but the game makes sense to him. You saw it in practice, you saw it in OTAs how easy it was for him. He obviously went on in the preseason and played really well and was able to get guys to the ground and tackle. He was physical and we're seeing it on special teams right now.”

Q: Could you talk about Nate Landman’s ability to impact the game in coverage in addition to his run stopping abilities?

“He has a great feel in coverage. He really does. He has a great feel in zone. He has great vision off the quarterback, he communicates, he understands route concepts and he understands how one route affects another. He just has a great feel. I don't know if I necessarily expected that, but we saw it pretty quick in OTAs. We’re happy to have him.”
