Ah fu*k me, why did I just read this whole damn thread....
I'll just offer this, from wikipedia for "semantic dispute":
"A semantic dispute is a disagreement that arises if the parties involved disagree about the definition of a word or phrase, not because they disagree on material facts, but rather because they disagree on the definitions of a word (or several words) essential to formulating the claim at issue. It is sometimes held that semantic disputes are not genuine disputes at all.... when a semantic dispute arises, the focus of the debate should switch from the original thesis to the meaning of the terms of which there are different definitions..."
Also, IMHO:
Mina Kimes nailed it in that video.
Also, somebody tell "boy genius" McVay that the Rams gotta do two things: (1)on D, focus more on stopping the run and (2) on O, focus more on establishing the run. And use Jalen to neutralize the other team's best player FFS.
Yeah McVay has a photographic memory and it's complicated and there are a lot of "layers" to it and etc etc etc... but please somebody tell him that sometimes things are just as obvious as they seem....

It seems we are arguing semantics, what does “soft” mean when used in a football context. To me, being blown off the line of scrimmage time after time, through a whole game is soft. Having a guy in your arms for a loss or short gain, but he breaks two or three tackles to turn two yards into eight is soft. I saw that all night long on Monday.
Edit: I just saw XXXI’s post about semantics, good timing I guess. Regardless, the Rams looked soft with the defense being pushed all over the field all night. The offense just looked inept.

McVay's really smart. The "Genius" label really does apply when it comes to football. But sometimes really smart guys tend to over analyze things and make it complicated when it doesn't have to be.

Anyone notice the niners did the exact same thing to the Jags yesteday? Ran right over them, doubled time of possession, and Jimmy G only threw a handful of short passes. I hope Mcvay is ready for this next time they meet because you know Shanahan will do the exact same thing. Should be interesting (we can only hope).
