I cannot understand why Shottenheimer is still the Offensive Coordinator for the Rams. His play calling is amateurish. I don't think he knows what a screen play is, or an end around run. Getting receivers open is non existent. For three plays in a row today I watched him call Off Tackle Right, Off Tackle Left, pass, punt. And WHEN IT WAS NOT WORKING HE CONTINUED TO CALL IT. One time it did work because Mason hit the middle and immediately went outside and by his sheer speed was able to get some yardage. I could tell by how the Ram's offense were lined up what they were going to call. And if I can see it surely, as was witnessed today, the Chiefs DC could see it. There is no imagination in the plays. He also has no idea that a screen play is even a football play. His idea of a screen is send a guy over to the side, have the two WRs block and throw the ball to the guy quickly. WTF? He calls this crap constantly and it never works. Or he has Tavon go over there with no blockers and just expects Tavon to juke his way past three defenders bearing down on him.
This goes on game after game after game. Am I the only one seeing this? I've seen this for going on three years now. Shottenheimer is killing the Rams offense as can be witnessed every game. And he is killing the defense by having them on the field so long. Notice the defense was actually doing a pretty good job until they got so winded and tired.
Now I know Austin Davis made some mistakes today but with Shottenhiemer's play calling Davis and the rest of the offense don't even have a chance to make something happen because everyone on the defense knows what's coming or at least have a darn good idea and know how to stop it. Last week the Rams only won because of the special teams play. Their offinse was stopped dead in its tracks. Just like today, last week, and the week before that. Shottenhiemer has no idea how to adjust during the game.
Shotenhiemer needs to be let go ASAP! The Rams will not win and are not winning with him running the offense. Why Fisher continues to go with him a total mystery.
