It was open last week. I too have been waiting for them to throw to TA on the wheel route or even shorter. Usually one linebacker on that side that TA can beat.
Finally re-watched the Texan game...

I was posting about Clowney a week or so ago about chipping him because he finds it hard to restart & redirect his attack once he is hit quickly.

A question for those that think Tavon is so valuable as a decoy...
What about those many numerous explosive plays to Gurley, Woods, Watkins, Kupp, and Higbee when Tavon isn’t even on the field?
I rest my case.

Not everything revolves around Tavon fakes but it's part of the scheme. Look at the big picture, how many times have we run Woods on a reverse? Answer twice for 12 yards, yet Houston knows we'll run that play so the whole defense bit and left half the field open to reverse course and score an easy TD. Gurley has been so successful the linebackers and safeties bite on play action and opens up big passes. The mid range and deep passes have been so successful it opens up the box for Gurley. What you're trying to do is take one aspect of the game plan out because you don't like it and think it doesn't affect the rest of the offense.
Should I rest my case

The Immaculate Exception
Except for those Viking fans who think Tavon is Woods, Watkins, Gurley, Higbee, Kupp all rolled into one. I actually believe they feel he is the biggest scare on this team.
IDK about a decoy, but if you can have 6 or 7 bullets in your chamber, I always like to have the ability to carry an extra and Tavon does give the Rams another weapon even if it's not being used.
I strongly suspect that McVay has more than one play like that being saved up for the right moment, in a big game. The defense will be slacking a bit, thinking they've seen how TA or some other player is used, and then a surprise and they're burned and don't know what to expect later in the game either.
Why? Because he had one subpar game against the Texans? Nobody has done anything of note against Webster to date. We are giving up a passer rating of 73.6.
