Obviously, Akers & McVay fell out for the last time. The Rams just wanted Akers out of their building. Kevin O'Connell, the Rams former OC, knows the player very well. Unlikely just a coincidence he lands there. Could be O'Connell is simply doing his old mentor a favor, moving some baggage for him. Akers is given a fair chance but likely cut end of season, perhaps sooner? Or, he knows the tension between the two & thinks he can bridge this problem. Knowing the player 1st hand, believes he can still play. Which is it?
