Welcome to Bad Takes Week, where MMQB staffers have been asked to expand upon some of their worst football takes. Keep an eye out for more of these throughout the week, and every story is posted here.
The Rams were playing the Chargers or Texans. The opponent doesn’t matter because it was an easy-to-forget preseason game last summer, but I do remember watching the broadcast thinking how great it was to hear Sean McVay analyze the plays called by his assistant coaches and how we need more of this.
And before you get too far ahead, we don’t need head coaches doing TV analysis during snaps in the regular season. (Perhaps that could be good for Bad Takes Week next year.) Also, that probably isn’t even an option for most head coaches because about 20 of them are expected to call either offensive or defensive plays during the 2023 season. That’s more than half the league, and head coaches already have a lot on their plates. See where I’m going with this?
