Below is my review of every single offensive snap for the Rams in the Browns game.
This is not a group of visuals like Merlins Excellent work with the still photos.
This is a complete play by play review of each snap in the first half with a total count of who or what was the Culprit for Killing drives in the first Half in which we scored only 3 pts.
FIRST HALF DRIVE KILLER TOTALS:
Demby 5
Noteboom 2
Whitworth 2
Goff 1
Mcvay play call 1
Crowd Noise/Helmet Communication 1
Kupp 1
Woods 1
Allen 1
Browns good coverage 1
Play By Play Details:
Possession 1
1st and 10 - Gurley run for 1 yard - Allen and Whitworth beat.
2nd and 9 - Kupp - 5 yard completion - Perfect pass.
3rd and 4 - Woods stumbles coming out of route. Pass thrown behind him. Looked like a slant/out route that Woods commonly runs, but Woods due to the stumble threw the timing off, Woods never cuts back towards the sideline where the ball was thrown. This appears to be on Woods in my book.
DRIVE KILL CULPRITS:
Bad run blocking (Allen and Whit)
WR (Woods) stumble throws timing off
Possession 2
1st and 10 - Perfect PA pass to Cooks for 18 yards.
1st and 10 - Gurley left side for 3 yards. Whit gets rub on DE then try's to block LB but whiffs on the block. LB slows Gurley then Kupps DB and NoteBooms DT come and finish off Gurley.
2nd and 7 - Pass to Woods near right sideline, ball hits Woods perfectly in the hands but Woods drops the ball.
3rd and 7 - Good protection - Goff hits Cooks "On the Money" on the sideline. Perfect pass. 16 yard gain.
1st and 10 - PA pass. Good protection. Pass to Cooks on sideline. Pass hits Cooks in his hands and he cant bring it down. Announcers say off his fingertips but still shots show Cooks arms are not 100 percent extended. Sorry, Hit you in the hands, catch the dam ball.
2nd and 10 - Inside handoff to Gurley on a delay. Demby and Havenstein block down well, Everett clears out LB and Safety has to come make the tackle. Nice Blocking. Gain of 5 yards.
3rd and 5 - Mcvay takes time out. Goff to Kupp on a WR screen for 5 yards, first down.
1st and 10 - Gurley run up the middle. Allen pushed back a yard, Demby pushes DT then tries to block LB but is too late. LB and Allen's man stop Gurley for 1 yard.
2nd and 9 - PA screen to Everett. Setup nice. Everett takes wrong lane to run in. Gain of 4.
3rd and 5 - Quick WR screen to Kupp on right side. Same play just ran last 3rd and 5. No gain. Bad play call in my opinion. Yes it worked last time but now they have seen it. Goff says to Mcvay " Cant hear you", so this may be a play Mcvay didn't call and Goff just called because time was running out on the play clock.
DRIVE KILL CULPRITS:
Bad play call (Mcvay) on third and 5 or possible communication issue due to headset or crowd noise.
Possession 3
1st and 10 - Pitch left to Gurley. Whit kicks out and seals the safety to the sideline. Kupp tries to block LB but gets a little overpowered. Reynolds disregards the CB #38 and goes farther out for the deep safety. Is this by design? Looks like Reynolds missed his block on #38. Noteboom also looses the battle with LB #53 who also destroys the run for NO GAIN.
2nd and 10 - Shotgun. Decent protection vs 4 man rush. Goff throws perfect pass to Woods on the right sideline for 9 yards.
3rd and 1 - PA pass. Perfect pass to wide open Kupp on drag route for 22 yards.
1st and 10 - PA pass. Free Runner LB on an inside move on Whit. Goff steps away from rush perfectly and resets. Goff overthrows Woods under some pressure, good coverage on the play. Goff should have probably dumped down to Kupp on the play if he was a little more patient.
2nd and 10 - Shotgun. Quick pass to Kupp on the right side for 13 yards. Kupp drops the pass, it was a little behind him but catchable. Goff a little rushed by Dembys man who was just about to sack Goff. Kupps only drop the entire game.
3rd and 10 - Shotgun. Browns bringing 7 on an A gap blitz. Excellent Idea pressuring the interior young Olineman. The Disguise was good because the outside defenders eventually drop back in coverage while Noteboom and Demby were confused who to block. Allen blocks his man but the two A gap blitzers Go straight through the Line and Gurley can only block one. Goff spins to his left perfectly but the man Gurley blocked breaks away and forces Goff to get rid of it immediately to Cooks who was blanketed by #35 who breaks it up and nearly forced an interception on the deflection. This is about where people start asking what is wrong with Goff? Nothing. Go back and read this series of downs. We had Goff pressured immediately on two plays and having to throw to Cooks who was covered both times. Both times Goff avoiding Rush but not having the target open. We also had Kupp drop a catchable ball.
DRIVE KILL CULPRITS:
Dropped pass (Kupp).
Oline pass pro breakdowns (Whit, Demby and Boom)
Great coverage by the Browns.
Goff a little impatient under pressure
Possession 4
1st and 10 - End around to Woods to the left side. Kupp seals off CB perfectly. Whitworth seals LB Vernon well, Notboom cant get out quick enough to put a block on LB #53 who blows up the play. Whits man Vernon comes back in and finsihes Woods. gain of 1 yard.
2nd and 9 - PA pass. Goff Perfect pass to Everett down the middle for 15 yards. Everett dances around losing 4 yards. Gain of 11.
1st and 10 - Goff threads a bullet to Woods for 18 yards. Nice catch by Woods!
1st and 10 - PA student body left, roll to the right, perfect throw to wide open Kupp for 7 yards. Route Higbee usually runs.
2nd and 3 - Goff drops back is sacked almost immediately by #65. Oline breakdown between Allen and Demby. Allen blocks 65 (Ogunjobi) for a second expecting Demby to take over. Demby is standing around with no dance partner wondering what happened. This is where Blythe is missed. Blythe is not as stout as other guards but is almost always assignment sound at least slowing down the defender by being in the right spot.
3rd and 11 - Mcvay goes to the safe WR screen yet again. That same play that you know, didnt work on 3rd and 5 back on possession 2. Cooks goes no where. Whit and Kupp block their man perfectly. Noteboom needs work on these. Boom's man number 98 blows it up. Kupps man disengages to clean it up as well. Plus no one blocking the safety.
DRIVE KILL CULPRITS:
Oline Breakdown (Demby)
Bad Play Call (Mcvay)
Oline missed block (Noteboom)
Possession 5
(2 minute offense at end of first half)
1st and 10 - Shotgun - Quick pass to Kupp left side for 6 yards. Perfect pass.
2nd and 4 - Shotgun - Quick pass to Cooks left side for 6 yards. Perfect pass.
1st and 10 - Shotgun - Quick pass to Woods right side for 13 yards. Perfect pass.
1st and 10 - Shotgun - 18 yard route to Woods on right side incomplete. Pass Hurried. Demby blocks his man for a second then for some unknown reason leaves his man to go block Allens man, this leaves Dembys man on a free rush to hurry Goff. Goff hit as he throws by Dembys free rusher.
2nd and 10 - Shotgun - Quick pass to the middle to Kupp for 5 yards.
3rd and 5 - Shotgun - Demby false start.
3rd and 10 - Shotgun - (28 seconds left, Rams on their own 36 yard line need a long developing pass to get into FG range) defender # 95 Garrett twists around Demby to knock ball out of Goff hands and force a fumble right as he is throwing it.

Demby blocks wrong guy
Demby false start
Demby beat by Garrett
