ATLANTA (AP) — urized situations sports offer is nothing new. Does it apply to the Super Bowl in general , and this one specifically?Recent history will tell us not really. The Super Bowl thing was something novel for virtually all of the Eagles last year, and they knocked off the perennial contender and frequent AFC champion Patriots.Same thing in the 2014 game when Seattle routed a Peyton Manning-led Broncos team. The Saints with Drew Brees against the Colts, led by — you guessed it — Manning in the 2011 contest, too.Then you can argue that the Patriots benefited greatly from the Falcons‘ lack of familiarity with putting away a championship two years ago. And that Denver — yep, that QB named Peyton again — used the experience edge perfectly against Carolina in 2016.There’s no question which team has the pelts in Super Bowl 53.“I think you get to focus more on football (because of the know-how),” says Patriots receiver Julian Edelman , who will match up at times with the Rams’ formidable cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters.“Fortunately, I’ve played in a couple of these and you get to refine your routine and it allows you to think about football. It allows you to think about the Los Angeles Rams and what they’re doing and how they are on defense and special teams and (Johnny) Hekker being a quarterback back there as a punter, that’s what it allows you to do because you have a little experience with that. But that’s it.”Maybe. Or maybe the Rams, who are 2½-point underdogs in their first Super Bowl since the 2001 season — a loss to New England — won’t ever find that comfort zone so necessary at this point.The key just might be if coach Sean McVay, who turned all of 33 last week, keeps pushing the envelope. The only way to beat the Patriots is to remain aggressive for 60 minutes , and possibly beyond. Maybe McVay needs to be a bit outlandish as well. Look up what Doug Pederson did last year in a masterful coaching performance.“So, it’s never too soon to be able to make a big impact in a big-time game,” McVay says. “We certainly have a respect for that experience that the Patriots specifically have. We’ve got some guys on our team that do have that experience, but we’ve also got some really good football players that you feel like no moment is too big for them.“We know that it’s a big-time game, but I think our guys — whether they have played in this game before, whether they haven’t — we expect them to play good football. When that ball is kicked off , it’s just like any other game. Certainly, you don’t shy away from the magnitude, but you’re still playing football.”Playing football in February is unique for most of the Rams, old hat for Tom Brady and many of the Patriots. But will that matter?Pro Picks thinks so.PATRIOTS, 31-22 The LA Rams’ director of strength training and performance wasn’t present for the Super Bowl and now fans know why."WhiteSections 2019 offseason2019 free agency2019 NFL DraftFull ArchiveLibrary 2019 NFL calendar2019 Rams regular season sched2019 Rams preseason schedMasthead Community Guidelines NFL Odds StubHub ✕2019 Los Angeles Rams OffseasonLos Angeles Rams ‘get back coach,’ Ted Rath , charged with sexual batteryNew,16commentsThe LA Rams’ director of strength training and performance wasn’t present for the Super Bowl and now fans know why.

Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsThe director of strength training and performance for the Los Angeles Rams, Ted Rath, has been mostly known by NFL fans as Head Coach Sean McVay’s “Get-Back” coach — keeping the excitable young coach from drifting in the referee’s way during plays.Today comes news that Rath was charged with three counts of misdemeanor sexual battery.The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department put out a statement explaining that the incident happened last June and after several investigations , Rath was taken into custody seven months later. This morning, Ted Rath entered the plea of not guilty.The front office for the Rams said previously he would miss the Super Bowl due to a recent medical procedure. The Rams said in a statement today:Rath has been on leave from team since before the NFC championship game in New Orleans. |
