Yeah, I do get mad at McVay at times too. No other coach I would rather have.I didn't mind the WR end around.
It sucks that Puka got hurt, but I just don't feel this play carried any significantly higher risk than normal.
Puka plays with an almost "X-games" kind of fearless physicality, "RED BULL" would love to slap their logo on his helmet.
We used to see a lot of WR runs, with Bobby Trees, Kupp and Co, regularly taking multiple carries in games.
There's really just one thing about McVays coaching that bothers me, but it's a big one. His teams consistently play down to the level of their opponents, and as a HC/play caller, he seems to lack the necessary "killer instincts" for putting games away.
That said, I wouldn't want anyone else as the Rams HC and I look forward to many more frustrating and sorrow-filled years to come lol!
Things like when we run it several times and get inside the 10. Then I see Stafford in the shotgun, drives me nuts. Even if he hands it off IMO runs out of the gun suck. We then get cute and try some fades and kick a FG.
McVay does need to get that killer instinct. He plays too nice not wanting to show up coaches.
Give them the Mad Mike treatment. ROLL THEM UP. Get a lead and pour it on.
Starting Sunday embarrassing his friend on the other side of the field.
