Done deal: Another loss for Rams and gain for Falcons as

Jimmy Lake switches from Rams to Falcons; 

 

How does Jimmy Lake’s move to the Atlanta Falcons as their defensive

coordinator impact the former assistant head coach of the Los Angeles Rams?

This offseason, the Los Angeles Rams’ coaching staff has suffered a great deal, as three of head coach Sean McVay’s assistants were acquired by the Atlanta Falcons alone.

On January 25, Atlanta announced the hiring of Raheem Morris as its new head coach. Morris most recently served as the defensive coordinator for the Ram

In the days that followed, Morris hired assistant head coach Jimmy Lake and quarterbacks coach and pass game

coordinator Zac Robinson, both from the Rams, to serve as his offensive and defensive coordinator

In Los Angeles, Morris and Robinson had clear roles. How will Lake’s departure impact the Rams, though?

Last spring, McVay gave a lengthy speech regarding Lake’s role, pointing out that although he wasn’t the official righthand

man, his leadership and expertise made him a valuable member of the Rams coaching staff.

On March 10, McVay remarked, “Great overall perspective, obviously as a head

coach, areas on the defensive side of the ball.” “However, he’ll be able to offer a

variety of leadership skills, from offense to defense, and defense to offense, all of which will be extremely valuable.

“It’s been great having Jimmy in the building.”

Throughout the season, Lake was given the chance to address the team and

deliver speeches, which served as more evidence of his leadership ability in Los Angeles.

The 47-year-old Lake helped turn late addition Ahkello Witherspoon into a star

player and contributed to the development of second-year cornerbacks Cobie Durant and Derion Kendrick.

Though not immediately apparent to the public, Lake’s influence could be felt both on and off the field inside the Rams’ facilities.

“I think some of the leadership experiences that he’s had will serve well,” McVay stated. “There’s a bunch of different roles, but the assistant head

coach is a reflection of the respect I have for Jimmy, but then also his involvement on both sides of the football.”

Although McVay and staff have begun interviewing candidates, Los Angeles still hasn’t filled any of its coaching positions.

However, the person the Rams choose to fill each of their open positions will have a lot of responsibility, both in terms of their coaching and off-field presence.
