McVay Wants Simpson Practicing Huddle Commands

Rams coach Sean McVay is focusing on developing Ty Simpson's communication skills as the rookie quarterback prepares for a potential backup role. McVay specifically wants Simpson to practice in the mirror what he'll say in the huddle, emphasizing voice inflection, emphasizing certain points, and ensuring he can "see plays when you're saying them."

Simpson is expected to spend his rookie season observing Matthew Stafford, but McVay knows the importance of Simpson being able to step in confidently if needed. "What does it look like to be able to communicate, especially as a quarterback?" McVay asked, highlighting the mechanics needed before the snap. afrikasportnews.co.za
