Shanny states: Neither the Rams nor the 49ers have changed their schemes in several years which makes the contest more about who makes the least amount of mistakes and whether or not they are taken advantage of.
“You try your hardest to get good players the ball in space,” Shanahan said. “And you see what they do with it and it’s a pretty simple game with both sides. We know each other well, and it usually comes to physicality in the game, who turns it over the least and who makes one more play than the other.”
To me this is damning if true because if true why would Shanny change anything? He has won every meeting (just about), however if true this makes McVay a stubborn fool, desperate to prove his way is best. In fact one would theorize that Shanny dropped that soundbite on purpose to steel McVay's resolve not to change a dang thang. The pure definition of insanity. The Ram's might be best served by surprising the Niners but now McVay being embarrassed to resort to a cheap trick to win. The whole Rocky not wanting to switch fighting styles mid match in Rocky II.
