IRVINE — The Rams have added a coach at training camp, one that doesn’t yell at players.

“Lyvve Coach” is the official name. It’s a video system that, for the first time, allows Rams players and coaches the ability to review practice plays immediately after they take place, and make corrections.

The system is one of several produced by Florida-based company 8K Solutions, and the instant-feedback concept is increasingly popular among NFL teams and college programs. The most visible aspect is a 12-foot video board that looms over one of the Rams’ practice fields at UC Irvine.

Miss a block or blow coverage in an 11-on-11 drill, and there it is on the screen, running on a loop until the start of the next play. Coaches no longer must wait until post-practice meetings to point out errors.

“It’s more for us to know we did our job to our best capability,” tight end Gerald Everett said after Sunday’s practice.

The Rams are using the system on a trial, General Manager Les Snead said, and haven’t yet decided whether they will bring it to Thousand Oaks for regular-season practices. More than three-quarters of NFL teams use some version of the system, as well as many top college programs.

“The trend is big,” Snead said. “If you go to Michigan, they might have 10 of those.”

The system is remarkably simple. A member of the Rams video team stands at the base of the monitor, armed with a monitor, a keyboard and a small trigger device, and can log plays. The video feeds come from the Rams’ five usual camera crews, which are stationed on lifts placed around the practice fields.

It’s also a common-sense concept. Instead of waiting until film review a couple hours after practice, or perhaps even the next morning, coaches can clean up mistakes as they happen.

“One of the reasons we’re dabbling in it,” Snead said, “and other NFL teams, is that when you do talk to the experts about learning, they tell you if someone makes a mistake and you show them on video right away – it’s the verbal with the visual – it has a better chance of sticking.”

Snead said he would be amused to see Coach Sean McVay, who likes to practice at a high tempo, stop and review a play, and that might be the rub for the Rams.

Thus far, the board primarily seems to be a fun tool for fans and reporters to watch replays. McVay and his assistants might glance at it, but they’ve yet to pause action and review a scrimmage play, for instance.

“We’ve got to figure out exactly where to put it, because you sometimes forget,” McVay said. “If you think about how you learn, it’s the immediate feedback that you can provide, and being able to look at it right away, as opposed to waiting a couple hours to watch film. That’s really the intent of it, as a teaching tool.

“It’s something that I’ve got to get more comfortable with, remembering that it’s out here.”
