Some perspective on McVay.

[Spider2YB]

So happy to see someone else say this. I'm so tired of examples like stafford overthrowing and open reveiver down field and people saying "Mcvay is calling an awful game!" AHHHHH.

I mean I think people said McVay called an awful game based off his two 4th down calls on Sunday. And the 3rd down call vs Buffalo during OT. All were horrendous and indefensible. But he’s also catching a lot of shit because the special teams fiasco ultimately is his responsibility.

But what McVay said in his interview the other day is 100% true. “Everybody is taking a turn”. It’s like he, Stafford, the offensive line, and the skill players just take turns making mistakes. It would be easier to diagnose if it was the same players or position groups each game. But it’s not. It’s like a game of whack-a-mole.

We know McVay devours leadership books. He makes the effort to learn and improve.

There may be something external that’s an issue. Many of you detect issues.

But I believe he learns from this situation…if we’re lucky it’s on the fly.

I don’t see him going to TV. That’s on the table whenever he wants.

The Rams would do well to lock McVay up as the team President when he is aiming to retire. Push TV away with some $.
That’s what I want.

Just here to say again....

Best Rams coach of all time. By a WIDE margin. I will choose to support that man rather than tear the best thing to ever happen to this team down.

Criticism is always fair. It's what coaches sign up for as part of the job. However, I would advise some of our more fickle and emotional fans to be very very careful what they wish for. Still haven't heard a single response to the question of who you replace him with..... Nate??? Really??

 

[So Ram]

Exactly right.

This roster got a bit stale and full of itself and the NFL is exposing them. We may love these players, but at this point it is clear there's a lot of fat that needs to be cut, and in key positions.

I think the next couple games there's going to be a tipping point on some of those decisions. We either win or a lot of draconian shit is going to unfold.

Don’t believe it !! If anything The Rams depth is what’s going to help The Rams have a WINNING RECORD!
Stale ?? Not SO sure ? What I know for sure is there are a lot of RAM PLAYERS who are in contract years.Meaning Mcvay should get The Best out of his players.

The Arizona game hurt in the End.The last couple Plays Adams gets hurt & then Puna Ford out for the season.

Please name names ?? Let’s see how correct you are.

 

[So Ram]

It's my opinion that we're mostly failing this year due to coaching.

Special teams? If it's personnel, that's on McVay. If the ST coach was a bad hire, that's on McVay.

Defense? We have mega talent, here. The D is underachieving. Is Shula the right guy? Can anyone say that he's maximizing the talent he has?

Offense? 22nd in scoring. They're moving the ball but failing in critical moments, thus not putting many points on the board.

Arizona's defense knew everything we were doing and had answers. Our failure to not change something to prevent that is not putting our players in the best position to succeed. That's a coaching thing.

We have more penalties than normal this year. Overall, the team looks undisciplined, unfocused, and some say is lacking fire. These are coaching things.

As for being screwed by the refs, sure that's happened, but I'll provide the answer McVay does. We're not maximizing our opportunities in the 59 minutes before those critical wrong calls. None of our games should have come down to the moment where a ref can hurt us.

The first part is Such CRAP,but to each his own.BTW - The Rams will put things together.

I could give a lot of excuses,but I’ll just enjoy the season as is. Makes the Taste SWEETER

 

[So Ram]

To think I don’t have an opinion on Mcvays’s coaching & play calling it goes (deep) back.

Sort of funny I’m not a Mike Lafleur fan.His playing calling didn’t win the game for the Cards.

IMO Nate did a good job play calling in the preseason.He should be able to be more involved,but maybe next season?

Don’t have the answer & not going to complain. Here is a post though
From the past.

Mcvays play calling

I’ll start it positive. Do The Rams script there first 15 plays ?

They need to snap out of the lazy penalties, inconsistent tackling, and poor execution that has plagued them.

 

[Rmfnlt]

Where the hell did you see that? I hope you’re wrong lol

Still waiting on RamsinLA to respond... " ESPN’s Dan Graziano said on Oct. 21 that Garrett was likely out at least another two or three weeks, potentially extending his absence through the Rams’ upcoming games before their Week 11 bye.".

Agitator?

A bad six game start to the season has some fans in here questioning whether McVay even gives a shit or I’ve even seen some suggest to move on from him after this season. Just laughable to me to see the overreaction especially coming off the previous seasons where he won two road playoff games and was a play or two away from going back to the Super Bowl.

All coaches eventually hit a window where they time out in the game and lose that ability and energy to connect and get the most from players. Sometimes it's when they're too old, which means they're done. Sometimes it's life pulling them away from the time sink the game requires. Sometimes it's the message getting old with the roster.

The first isn't the case with McVay. The second may be, but we have no way to know what he's thinking. And if it's the third, then you gut the roster and rebuild before you fire a coach of his talent, because your chances of hiring someone better are astronomically small.

We have an intelligent owner with deep pockets and desire to win. So the only way McVay moves on is if that is his wish. Otherwise, he's going to be our coach.

The last time he had a disaster like this on his hands he nearly tucked tail and ran to television. He’s five years older now with a wife and kid.

Comments like that are why he should stay.

 

[dieterbrock]

Being frustrated with McVay is understandable
Wanting him replaced is utter lunacy

 

[Tano]

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.

 

[Tano]

And the reason Donald isn't making plays is because Shula is holding him back.

He would either do delay rushes or even not attempt to rush on a few pass attempts.

The times he did rush hard - he actually did okay.

 

[Memphis Ram]

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.

Hey, you’re the offseason ambassador. It’s October.
What are you doing here?

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

Be careful of what some may wish for with Mcvays play calling ? I wonder if NATE was calling the plays more that The Rams offense would be more efficient??

IMO & my hope is that The Rams(Mcvay & Stafford) come through against the raiders this weekend. Start to get healthy & make a last part of the season run at the whole thing.

Also think you might be right in a lot of ways,but there’s more to it than that.
