Video: Rams Coach Ted Rath Explains Job of Holding Back Sean McVay on Sideline
January 22, 2019
One Los Angeles Rams coach will do his own version of the tango at Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta on Feb. 3.
Ted Rath is the Rams' director of strength training and performance, but a recent NFL Films clip revealed he does more than just that. He is in charge of pulling head coach Sean McVay out of the path of officials, and he compared it to "a dance. Maybe tango?"

McVay—who would become the youngest NFL or FBS head coach to win a championship at 33 years and 10 days if the Rams beat the New England Patriots—receives plenty of credit for being innovative and ahead of the game, and he takes an additional step to avoid any costly penalties.
While there are plenty of college programs that feature assistant coaches who perform similar tasks on game days, the football stage doesn't get bigger than the Super Bowl. Rath will be the man behind the coaching genius as the Rams look to win their first Lombardi Trophy since the 1999 season.
