By the time players filtered into the locker room on Monday afternoon, they’d had a while to process the change and the challenge issued by Canales to extend, “the same support for Andy as we go into this week. For the guys to be supportive and every day just to approach it with that kind of energy.”
Safety Nick Scott, who has been in the league since 2019 and now with his third team, has seen turnover before. The Rams went to the playoffs three times while Scott was in Los Angeles and won a Super Bowl. But they also followed up that win with a 5-12 season. As such, Scott—like so many in the locker room—are familiar with what happens when things stall.
“There’s changes, especially when you get into times of adversity,” Scott said. “Any position group, any player, regardless of their role, can be in that position.”
It echoed what Canales had said earlier, that his job is to evaluate every position and “it happens to the quarterback position, so it’s loaded.”
But as Scott continued to explain, “there’s turnover. Guys get hired, guys get fired, guys get replaced, all that stuff.
“We see it wherever we go, been seeing it for a number of years now. So, you know, the mentality for the guys in this group is, come in on Wednesday, ready to work, ready to do our job first and then trust the coaches to make the decisions necessary to put us in a position to be successful on Sunday.”
And for now, that decision is to play Dalton as the starting quarterback.
