This offense is wed to the play action pass. As many pointed out in the GTF, the 49ers were playing 8 man fronts. Stop the run and the play action becomes pointless. Then if we don't run, proceed to the QB and rattle Goff. Hence, Rams have to keep their TE's home, eliminating that passing option. The screen plays we love so much aren't much use when there are so many defenders close to the line.
McVay needs to add a wrinkle somewhere in his offense to combat this, but we haven't seen it in multiple seasons. Like you said, Goff just isn't the type of QB to win this on his own.
I'm no offensive expert, how do you counter the 8 man lines? Quick passes to the TE in the flat? Pound it until someone breaks free? Rollouts?

Why aren't we focused on the disappearance of the run game? | Leoram | 132 | November 30, 2020 05:02AM |
