Some perspective on McVay.

[Merlin]

I watched the ALL 22 for the first half and nobody was open on a lot of the plays.

Mumpfield is useless for the most part.

However he was open on the 2nd down play where Stafford underthrew Parkinson but other than that - just useless.

The 2 pt conversion was a horrible play design by McVay - only Adams went out and everybody else stayed in to block.

Stafford had only Adams to look at. He had no choice to hope that Adams would get free.

However if he looked inside he could see Williams possibly open for a quick shovel pass.

That DB top of the image is watching Williams and is in position to close if Stafford were to flip the ball to him. Catching it through contact and then beating the DB to the goal line would be asking a lot, even for Williams.

But that aside when you talk play schematics and route trees... A lot of teams sit on our tendencies. This is why I say Scheelhaase is overrated as fuck. I don't see any kind of edge from his gameplanning. Best OC that McVay has had was Matt LaFleur. Kevin O'Connell was pretty good as well but when McVay has an edge from that OC who is drawing it up for him you can feel it in the offense. And it's not there.

I haven't posted in a while and some might believe I should keep it up after this one.

BUT, I REALLY BELIEVE that McVay would call a better game with Ty Simpson at QB.

I don't believe that he would abandon the run as often as he does and the play action rate would be at the 30% or higher level like it is in Kansas City, Chicago, and Detroit.

I also believe that Simpson's legs would extend more drives and the ball would get spread around more.

That is all.

We may see Ty Simpson soon if the Rams keep losing. Would hate to see it but he would be getting experience for next year.

That's why I said possibly open.

That's the only option that Stafford had to get rid of the ball.

Adams was completely covered. Stafford could have thrown it up for grabs and hope Adams catches it but it would have been like a hail mary. Just an absolutely horrible play call.

Now if Stafford could run - he could have ran it in.

The defense being a sieve for running QBs and RBs probably doesn't help.

Actually the run defense was actually pretty good in this game when Donald was in the game.

However, whenever he was out, the Cardinals would get 5 to 8 yards every time.

At least that's how it was in the first half.

The last time he had a disaster like this on his hands he nearly tucked tail

Such a trolling post.

You need to recall that in the Bills Loss it was to an off angled blocked kick. He was hitting from 60+ yard in the before the field warm ups.
The Broncos Game was a badly called official play and potentially the Rams running out the clock if called correctly.
The Cardinals, was down the last play and a badly called penalty.

The Rams should be 5-1.

The Rams should have easily blown out some opponents, but it didn't happen. So really are we talking end of the line for the coach Sean McVay?

I linger on the fence about Vegas Odds and gambling.

OK, but do all that with Stafford.

Run the ball.

Play action.

Go.
