The suggestion that they wanted to protect Boom has merit, but I watched Boom after he came in and he looked fine. Not dominant, but definitely adequate for either run or pass play calling. IOW, McVay’s hands were not tied. We are gonna find out quickly whether Boom has an NFL future at LOT. I’m cautiously optimistic

Yeah. They set him up to look fine--by scaling back...

I didn't see this. What evidence do we have that they scaled back?

Well I was just responding to the idea put up by others that they scaled back or didn't go for the kill...etc. It looked to me much more like the fact that Whitworth would have been better prepared for the more intricate stuff than a sub would.

Gotcha. I saw you saying they scaled back but must have missed others saying that.

I honestly didn't see any scaling back or a failure to go for the kill until later in the 4th quarter when McVay went run heavy which I thought was to protect the lead. Prior to that what I mostly saw was periodic inefficiency.

They wanted to go for the kill but just didn't get the job done with execution.
