And i dont know that I have ever seen that before... winning teams do that? I don’t know in alll my years of football I have seen that before in similar circumstances
McVay ain’t that damn smart man
Just because you've never seen it, doesn't mean it hasn't happened. I know I've seen it from multiple teams before but sadly I can't give specific examples.
Second, McVay's pretty danged smart but I don't know that anyone is saying he told Gurley to do it. I think these two games where he's done it, he's done it on his own.
Third, obviously winning teams do DO it. Rams are 11-1 and have done it twice this year. With a leaky defense that can't stop the pass, I don't see the problem with running off clock when the opportunity presents itself. When it doesn't work and the Rams lose, maybe then there will be reason to question or criticize it but it reads like a very smart, unselfish, winning move to me.
