The Los Angeles Rams have decided to part ways with special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn after a series of errors contributed to the team”s defeat against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. This decision comes from a source familiar with the situation.
The Rams” special teams unit has struggled in critical moments throughout the season, and this latest setback proved to be the tipping point. The firing of Blackburn marks a significant moment, as it is the first time in nine seasons that head coach Sean McVay has dismissed an assistant coach during the season.
The Rams, who have faced various challenges this year, will now look to fill the void left by Blackburn as they aim to improve their special teams performance. This change reflects the urgency to address ongoing issues that have hindered the team”s overall success.
With the season progressing, the Rams will need to make quick adjustments to regain their footing in the competitive landscape of the NFL.
