MAybe he was just hesitant to use it but, he has had it ready for a while.
Agree- but I don’t think his hand was FORCED??? He had this in place as you said.The thing was getting to the bye week.You add London & an East Coast road trip in there & you can see why Mcvay was patient in implementing the 13 personnel in.
Davies Allen was a little banged up early,but Ferguson missed most of Training Camp!!! He’s a rookie just learning the offense & the last thing Mcvay wanted to do was overwhelm him.Then putting it in place when Stafford & Adams weren’t even in sink together.
We have to remember Matthew Stafford missed all of training camp as well,SO to think there was that chemistry on offense.Place you look at the offensive line being hurt early in the season.Which add more pressure on protecting The QB FIRST!!!
At least that’s my take on it.Then adding Puka & Adams on the goal line !! It was nice to see The Rams punch it in with Kyren Williams to add to the touch.
