Here’s what I see watching our offense now.
Henderson is small, gets dinged constantly, and isn’t explosive. His longest run this year is 29 yards in week 2. His longest TD run is 2 yards.
The interior OL is getting manhandled. Stafford is getting constant pressure in his face.
So we have a pedestrian running game and we can’t protect our drop back QB where it counts the most.
These aren’t excuses, this is reality.
The inner balance of the team is off. Losing Woods was huge. At best, it will take time to integrate OBJ into the offense where it can operate smoothly. Right now, the chemistry is messed up and that results in guys unsure of what everyone is doing out there.
This is not how McVay envisioned the offense in the offseason. Too many pieces have changed. He’s got 2 weeks to pull it together. A 3rd straight loss in GB is likely at this point. That hasn’t happened to McVay since the 9-7 season in 2019. Coincidentally, that was the last time we had a pedestrian running game and a drop back QB getting pressure in his face.
I haven’t given up, but the signs point to too much to overcome.
Hendo actually has a decent YPC if fact it's better than Henry, but we just haven't used it enough the last two games due to game flow...and McVay's tendencies
The running game isn't the issue, it's using it that is....
OL wasn't built for drop back QB, they are all on the light side and were built more for the wide zone athletic types...they need to go back to the Goff offense with more play action and moving the pocket....and running the ball !!!
Losing Woods was a huge blow and it showed last week as this team looked shocked by it...we will adapt and over come, but trying to do that last week with one day to try was just too much.
I'm more concerned about the defense than I am Stafford getting their sht together..... we all this talent and it's being misused by an out dated coach and system. Last week was one of worst jobs I've ever seen by a DC.....McVay needs to have a come to Jesus meeting with Morris soon or it's gonna get worse.
Good news is everything is right in front of them if they want to capture HFA and the easiest path to the Super Bowl and a bye week to prepare for the start of that by beating the Packers and getting back on track
