Going to try a different approach here and stick to one facet of our big win vs Seattle, that being the run game. Reasons for this are many, from the fact that I can cover the important snaps from the run game in one sitting to the importance of the Rams' run game in their offensive resurgence. Note that we don't have a dominant run game yet, but it's solid and that alone has had enormous impact in the way McVay plays the different aspects of the offense against each other and the defense.
So to kick this off... First offensive play and Coach McVay goes to the ground game.
Situation:
Pre-snap:
At the snap we have the classic McVay jet motion with Woody:
At the handoff things look good. Defense mostly ignores the jet action. Note the push we already have from the right side in moving the LOS forward. Edwards assists Evans and is about to peel off and take on Wright. Blythe is pushed back about a yard however does a good job staying in front of his assignment:
As Gurley approaches the LOS he sees Wright filling. Edwards here is about to remove him from the play but Todd sees the hole with the cutback:
Beat later:
6 yard gain and successful run:
