Re: 3 More Touches

November 05, 2018 05:35PM
If I had my way, I'd have gotten the ball in Gurley's hands 3 more times.

after the nasty hat on ball Ekubam forced fumble; Sean McVay goes straight to the pass

In big games, he tends to fall in love with the pass
lots of coaches tend to want to go for the jugular after a turnover, and the ball was deep in Saint territory

For me, this was the classic, "It's the Todd Gurley Show, Starring Todd Gurley."
Instead, Sean gets nothing on first down through the air, get nothing on second down through the air, and then forced to the air on 3rd down. Left with 4th and 4 and then the fake field goal.

Again, just me, but I was all in on giving #30 the ball there, and run Kromer's zone scheme, on first and second down. Still feel confident that Todd would have been on fire in that situation.

The third touch was a gimme.
Gurley is standing wide open on 2nd and 2 at the 50. Goff, oddly, decides to go to Woods. Gurley starts to go up for the ball, and then in his wisdom sees the ball high and not meant for him. In the end, it was meant for nothing.

I am not sold that we were coming back from 10 down there, but this is also growth snaps for Jared. Move the sticks, and get the ball in #30's hands. Would be nice to see Govane's all 22 of that play: Just to note where the defenders were in relation to Todd.

  Saints knew they couldn’t stop everyone, so they focused on Todd Gurley

  I am convinced McVay's weakest playing calling...

  I think you're dead right on the mark. (nm)

  Didn't Martz do the same thing?
