One thing I love about McVay is his leadership in specific regards to getting his team to focus on the moment. The past laurels don’t get you future victories.
Clearly injuries sabotaged 2022. But I don’t want the Rams brain trust thinking all they have to do is to get healthy.
Just follow the formula, right? Draft diminutive skills players (Henderson, John Kelly, Tutu in the 2nd or 3rd round and pick a couple of linemen and corners in the later rounds.
That formula is leaving his roster bare of run blocking linemen and bell cow running backs. McVay knows he’s not perfect. And I’m saying what a lot of other posters on here are saying: stop beating a dead horse, coach. Get out of your 11 personnel packages and play the real game of football. Run the ball over teams. Quit expecting defenses to be polite and not pin their ears back when you’re in empty set. It’s on McVay to establish alternate threats to a defense.
I like McVay’s body of work, but he’s not a master sculptor. There’s a lot of football he has yet to exploit and after a season like this, it’s the perfect time to figure that out.
I fear you’ll reply with the same emphasis: we’re lucky, he’s not Martz, 2 Super Bowls in five years, the dog days of Linehan and Spags. Yeah. I don’t want that. I don’t want McVay to leave.
But do you think if McVay doesn’t change his firm commitment to the 11 personnel package, that he’ll get back to scoring 30 points per game on average? If you think that, how does that get done?
