Rams offense was 'not even close' to good enough in 2nd half vs. Dallas

Saturday’s preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys got off to a much better start offensively for the Los Angeles Rams than their first matchup with the Raiders. There were fewer drops, Darrell Henderson looked more comfortable and Blake Bortles led them to a touchdown.

In the second half, however, things went awry. The Rams were shut out in the final 30 minutes by Dallas and struggled to do much of anything offensively. They had three first downs and 71 total yards in the second half, which left Sean McVay dissatisfied.

He’s not making any excuses for the majority of the players being first- and second-year players, either.

“First half was good. The second half was really sloppy and not even close to the standard we expect to operate at,” McVay said Saturday. “I’m not talking about whether you end up scoring points. I’m talking about not beating yourself with things that take no talent. You’ve heard us talk about that before. Those are things that we’ve just got to do a better job with. You can say what you want with some younger players but we expect them to ascend quickly. They’ve got to do a good job of making sure that we get those things cleaned up and that’s both coaches and players, collectively.”
