There is a huge difference running that play at the 40 yard line and running it at the 10 yard line.

Defense can play a hell of a lot closer at the 10 yard line than at the 40 yard line.
That is true, but there were so many mistakes and poor execution throughout that game. It never should have come down to that.
It’s pointless to blame any one play. This was a typical Rams stinker that you could see almost from the opening bell.

The worse thing that can happen to a Rams team, is to be a large favorite to win.
That is the death knell for these guys....

Oh I completely agree. I was okay with a run play, I just didn't like the fact that they went into the strength of the defense on the right side. SF had 6 players on the right side. You see that - you run left. Plus add in the fact that McClendon was the right tackle instead of Havenstein.

Honestly based on numbers and alignment.. that run should have gained a yard. The issue was calling a run behind your backup RT and Backup TE for the game. They both barely got off the ball by the time warner got 3 steps in and blew it up.
 
Honestly mcvay doesn't adjust to personnel changes on offense. He's just like "next man up" and calls the same stuff he would if he had havenstein and higbee in the game. This has been going for years. How often have we had some awful backup at LT and we never chip or anything and Stafford gets murdered. I think mcvay only like thinks schematics and doesn't think about the humans. Same reason he keeps calling QB sneaks with an old QB with a bad back
