"Yeah, I mean they were basically playing zero coverage. They had 11 guys in the box and you're short in the run game, there's unblocked players. We felt like being able to run a couple of those bootlegs, you certainly don't want to have an incompletion like we did on the second down, but we are an aggressive team. We wanted to close the game out right there. You don't want to get too risky, but the confidence that we have in our players, we felt like changing the launch point and running kind of the boot passes where somebody's sliding across the formation was a good opportunity to be able to out-flank the edge, out-leverage a guy that's responsible for the tight end or for (WR) Robert (Woods) like we did on the first down play in man coverage. That was what we felt like was going to be the best percentage there, just because they're playing with nobody in the middle of the field. They dropped the 11th guy down in to the box and you're short in the run game and basically it becomes tackling practice for a defense."

RinconRam182November 20, 2018 11:53AM

  I dont think so

PHDram157November 20, 2018 11:57AM

  But...the plays called were head scratchers...

jemach129November 20, 2018 01:29PM

  the false start to start the drive was a killer....

  2:10, :09, 1:37, and 1:28

PHDram470November 20, 2018 01:11PM

  Once again...it wasn't passing that was the issue....for me...

PHDram246November 20, 2018 03:14PM

  Yup. The ONLY real problem I have with those plays....

Suh-weet!142November 20, 2018 03:35PM

  Idiotic play calling

reggae142November 20, 2018 01:36PM

  But if you go back and look at the plays called after 1st down...

jemach163November 20, 2018 01:45PM

  You want quick, short passes...

Saguaro158November 20, 2018 02:02PM

  Weren't the formations tight?

jemach128November 20, 2018 02:07PM

  Disagree

Suh-weet!120November 20, 2018 03:39PM

  You can't say we would definitely have gotten stonewalled...

jemach139November 21, 2018 05:26AM

  they were throwing to that big receiver on 2nd down

21Dog346November 21, 2018 05:39AM

  That's exactly the point

Suh-weet!115November 21, 2018 05:49AM

  Yet...

jemach112November 21, 2018 05:54AM

  no you cant but

PHDram186November 21, 2018 06:31AM

  4 drives with TDs in under 4 plays.

alyoshamucci166November 20, 2018 02:36PM

  Re: Fish would have run the ball 3x

merlin148November 20, 2018 03:47PM

  because punting the ball away and letting the other team win

Rams_81144November 21, 2018 02:50AM

  Well...we went 3 and out so what's the difference?

jemach140November 21, 2018 05:51AM

  Agreed. (nm)

JamesJM81November 21, 2018 06:01AM

  that's where that strategy really failed

21Dog113November 21, 2018 06:06AM

  Didn't work doesn't mean it was bad strategy

Suh-weet!123November 21, 2018 06:15AM

  Well, I guess I would say...

jemach78November 21, 2018 09:47AM

  because the Rams played defense different

Rams_81109November 21, 2018 10:09AM

  In McVay's own words (from his presser)

AlbaNY_Ram156November 21, 2018 05:22AM

  Re: In McVay's own words (from his presser) ALL THAT MATTERS

Rampage2K-133November 21, 2018 08:06AM

  The issue IMO isn't strategy

zn162November 21, 2018 05:26AM

  Good stuff, zn..

sstrams126November 21, 2018 05:36AM

  Well put...

jemach118November 21, 2018 05:57AM
