Rams coach Sean McVay offered support for special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone. The team's special teams mistakes resulted in kicker Harrison Mevis losing his roster spot.

Expanded Detail

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has publicly backed special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone, according to the available report. The support comes after special teams errors contributed to kicker Harrison Mevis being removed from the roster. The same material notes a Rams loss to Buffalo and a PFT item titled around McVay giving Ventrone a vote of confidence. Beyond those details, the source offers little additional context about the specific mistakes, timing, or roster mechanics.

But "titled around" maybe awkward. Also "vote of confidence" source phrase? It's in source. We can avoid: "and a PFT item about McVay expressing confidence in Ventrone." But "confidence" okay. Need original wording. "vote of confidence" is source phrase. Let's avoid exact. "and a PFT item about McVay expressing confidence in Ventrone." That's okay.
