The Facts: Goff is in the midst of an offseason that came too soon. His team finished 9-7 and missed the postseason for the first time in coach Sean McVay’s three seasons as coach. McVay spent the last two weeks remaking his staff. Goff laments the loss of DC Wade Phillips, special teams coordinator John Fassel and RBs coach Skip Peete. But he trusts McVay implicitly and welcomes the addition of new DC Brandon Staley and OC Kevin O’Connell. “I think we’re moving in the right direction,” Goff said Sunday.

Diehards Line:As Times staffer Gary Klein notes, Goff, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 NFL draft, had flourished under McVay in 2017 and 2018. He helped the Rams win two consecutive NFC West titles and earn a Super Bowl berth. Before this season, the Rams rewarded the two-time Pro Bowl selection with a $134-million contract extension that included a record $110 million in guarantees. But Goff and an offense that was once the envy of the NFL were inconsistent during a season in which the 49ers and Seahawks reemerged as powers. Goff passed for 22 touchdowns -- the fewest in his three seasons as a starter -- with a career-worst 16 interceptions as the Rams fell far short of expectations. Now, Goff is finalizing details of an offseason workout program that will begin in February. Goff indicated after the season that he might add a strength program to his regimen. “There’s a lot of things I want to focus on this year,” he said Sunday. “I think I have the ability now to really invest in myself and put everything I have into myself, to come back better and stronger than ever and, hopefully, look back at 9-7 as a thing of the past.”
