So from that perspective, it's really "Me, then We."And we all know people who are not able to do that. These are the narcissists. For them, it's just "Me. There is no We." These are people who are poison to a team.NFL coaches are famous for not taking care of themselves and burning out. So I think this is all about how McVay went through this process of figuring that out and getting the help he needed to take care of himself, which then allows him to take care of his team.But within the context of a team, none of the above changes the philosophy of team first. Whatever is best for the team, that's what we do. And what's best for the Rams, as a team, is for Sean McVay (and every individual) to first take care of himself, which puts him in a position to then take care of the team. Which brings us back to "We not Me." I'm fine with this slogan. But context is important.

So from that perspective, it's really "Me, then We."And we all know people who are not able to do that. These are the narcissists. For them, it's just "Me. There is no We." These are people who are poison to a team.NFL coaches are famous for not taking care of themselves and burning out. So I think this is all about how McVay went through this process of figuring that out and getting the help he needed to take care of himself, which then allows him to take care of his team.But within the context of a team, none of the above changes the philosophy of team first. Whatever is best for the team, that's what we do. And what's best for the Rams, as a team, is for Sean McVay (and every individual) to first take care of himself, which puts him in a position to then take care of the team. Which brings us back to "We not Me." I'm fine with this slogan. But context is important. Keep it in perspective. 3 by Elvis 20 hours 57 minutes ago Total posts: 41351 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator We Then Me POST #7 TOPIC AUTHOR PARAM, rams74, actionjack liked this post I know all this stuff matters, probably a lot, but to me schematic advantage is the number 1 thing i want from a coach. Culture, leadership, growth, slogans on meeting room walls, connecting to your players, i'm sure that gets you to where you need to be. But if you don't know how to successfully attack what the other team is doing, nothing else really matters does it?

Culture, leadership, growth, slogans on meeting room walls, connecting to your players, i'm sure that gets you to where you need to be. But if you don't know how to successfully attack what the other team is doing, nothing else really matters does it?That is the key. But culture helps. It helps create the right mindset to succeed. It helps attract players......even players you traded away. It helps make guys want to work harder than other teams, even if in reality most work as hard as possible. But none of that culture development happens without success. Because in todays NFL you only get 3 years (or less) to succeed. The Rams are not successful due to culture. They're successful due to McVay. But maybe the culture helps maintain it. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.
