That concern rippled through the Rams’ ecosystem, because with upcoming divisional games, and a few pressure-happy, formidable defensive fronts looming,
they knew teams would try to use Miami’s pressure scheme against them as frequently as possible. Head coach Sean McVay, Goff and offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell ran a thorough self-scout during the bye week after the Miami loss.
This quote has me puzzled, how in the world are you concerned with high pressure schemes after week 8 of the 2020 season when everyone knows that high pressure schemes have been the kryptonite of this offense for the past 2 and a half years?On the following Wednesday, the team’s first practice of Week 10, pressure drills were more noticeable than ever. Assistant coaches waved long, thin pencil-pads in the throwing lanes of the quarterbacks during short-pass reps, and even hit the players with pads to hassle them in the manufactured pocket.
Again how do you not prepare your qbs and skill players to deal with pressure schemes? Shouldn't this be a big part of mini camps, training camps, weekly game plans, and walk throughs every year? qb's, rb's, wr's, and te's all have to be on the same page to beat the blitz.
