...he was after the loss to the Seahawks. This information is instructional.
Yes, he celebrated the win and gave due credit to his special teams, defense, and the Jag’s defense. Sean said all the right things as we, by now, can rightfully expect from him without exception.
But, my fellow Ram brothers, did you notice him dressing Jared down after a failed third down with a perfectly placed ball in Watkins’ mitts that was dropped? Sean must’ve thought the ball should’ve gone elsewhere. And how many times in his post-game press conference did he lament that the offense should’ve done MUCH better?
While I thought Goff was accurate on his throws, avoided interceptions, pulled it down and ran when necessary, and generally managed the game well...McVay knows better. He didn’t need to watch tape to know the flaws. What I like is that regardless of the W or L, McVay EXPECTS improved performance week in and week out. He didn’t expect AS MUCH out of the offense v the Redskins.
As he looks at himself, I can only fault him for two play calls. On third and one in the second quarter, he called a quick snap inside run to Gurley with Calais friggin Campbell stacked inside. EVERYONE in the stadium saw that play coming. C’mon Sean...you’re better than that. While the Everett holding call forced a first and 20 and Gurley was able to get 6 back, that slow developing Austin run to the edge was also too predictable based on the formation and lineplay. The ball fakes on the play action are also getting sloppy as Jared is increasingly far away from the player he is pretending to feed...but this is an execution issue which I believe will be Sean’s emphasis this week.
By playoff time, I would be shocked if this team isn’t one of the best in the NFL at executing their designed plays.
