Chase Blackburn has to go. He was a loser in Carolina and he’s been a loser in Los Angeles. if we fire him, he should take Joshua Karty with him. We should have re-signed Matt gay.
My biggest issue with McVay is he is not evolving as a coach. He showed so much potential in his first 4 to 5 years that I thought he was gonna be one of the greatest of all time. At this rate, I’m not so sure.
For example, the call for the defense to give up the underneath routes clearly came from him as this has been a consistent problem with the Rams against the Niners, regardless of the defensive coordinator has been.
I get it, McVay and Shula do not trust the defensive backs (especially while Witherspoon is hurt). But when a 2nd tier hobbled back up is putting up career numbers, you have to adjust and send more pass rushers to give more opportunities to your top tier defensive line.
Completely unacceptable to let that keep happening, especially as it kept your offensive playmakers off the field and McVay offenses often time need reps to get in sync.
another puzzling decision is how we utilize our personnel.
For example , I don’t understand the logic of using a second round pick to draft one of the better tight end prospects and insist on sticking to a offensive scheme that Terrance Ferguson cannot easily fit into. Kyle Shanahan does not seem to have this problem. Shane Steichen doesnt have this problem.
Even more confusing, the Rams are consistently a team that struggles to score in the redzone, an area of the field where tightends make their money. is it that difficult for Sean McVay to draw up some backyard football plays to get Ferguson some looks? It is maddening.
