On Monday, Sean McVay held a virtual press conference where he again answered questions regarding his team's week one win over the Houston Texans.

Q: What went into the decision of not playing Darious Williams?

“Darious has done a great job," stated McVay. "We felt like the approach was going to be with those three corners. I've always told you guys, I look at it as we've got four guys that have been excellent. We felt like the three-man rotation was going to be what was best for our group as it related to approaching that game. Darious handled it like a total stud. He was ready to go if need be. I was really proud of him and how he's practiced, how he's responded, but that was the thought process there.”

Q: How did you feel the rookies played in Week One?

“I think [Tight End Terrance Ferguson] ‘Ferg’ played a couple snaps of special teams. I thought he did a nice job on that. I was pleased with him. I thought [Outside Linebacker] Josaiah Stewart, played 15 snaps on defense, made his presence felt. I thought it was a big play where he ended up getting the tipped ball, got his hands up in that situation, it was huge."

"[Wide Receiver Konata Mumpfield] ‘Mump’ played about six plays on offense, did what he could within the framework of those snaps. [Running Back] Jarquez [Hunter] and [Defensive Lineman] Ty Hamilton were not active and I thought [Inside Linebacker] Sean Dolac really made his presence felt on special teams. He did a great job in the one kickoff making that tackle. I thought he did a really good job in the other three phases and I was pleased with Sean.”
