Sean McVay still isn't talking about travel plans for Australia
Earlier this month, Rams coach Sean McVay turned uncharacteristically truculent when asked about reports that his team would arrive late and leave early from Australia.
Rams coach Sean McVay has been uncharacteristically resistant when asked about the team's travel plans to Australia. The coach has not yet discussed the matter with his team, which suggests that the itinerary only affects 53 players, including the practice squad. McVay stated that he will likely talk to the team the week of the game.
He mentioned that the team has a "loose idea" of what the itinerary is, but he still believes it is "appropriate in terms of the trajectory" to talk about it. The coach confirmed that the Rams will travel late and depart early from Australia, in an attempt to minimize the impact on the players' bodies. This strategy could be crucial given the long flight and the short time in Melbourne.
The 49ers are expected to arrive several days earlier, which could pose a challenge for the Rams. The game is only 10 days away, and the travel discrepancy might play a role during the match. After the game, the Rams will need to assess whether they can recover more swiftly than the 49ers from the travel fatigue.
