For all those "wondering" what was up with Watkins last season..........It's quite clear that McVay was expecting more than what #12 could give.....Let's see where Cooks can take this offense this season.
Agreed. Benoit's quote: "it wasn't the scheme, it was the player" might be true. SW admitted he had trouble absorbing the playbook. IMO, that says a lot. It might also explain why he wasn't thrown to even thow he was "open". He might have been running the wrong route, cutting the route short or improvising which got him open that much. In a "timing" offense, you have to be precise. I am not sure SW was. McVay absolutely wanted SW to succeed. There was a reason(s) he didn't. Only McVay knows those reasons but I am sure that is why he is not a Ram right now.
I never got the impression that Goff was comfortable throwing to Sammy. A reasonable answer is that Watkins wasn't running routes correctly/properly. He looked open but he may not have been where Goff expected him to be.
