1) Sean McVay and Wade Phillips, Los Angeles Rams: It’s not a coincidence the Rams became Super Bowl contenders with a high-octane offense and a hard-hitting defense. McVay is an offensive wizard with a creative mind and an innovative approach. He not only elevated the play of a young quarterback (Jared Goff) who was viewed as a bust in some quarters but he revived a running back (Todd Gurley) coming off a sophomore slump that led to questions about his game. With McVay also creating an explosive aerial attack featuring a handful of receivers earning B or B-plus grades from the majority of evaluators, the Rams’ young play caller deserves kudos for his ability to put points on the board with a bunch of moving parts. Defensively, Phillips is one of the best in the business, using a defense that’s built around pass rushers and cover corners. The wily defensive play caller can help transform pass rushers into monsters (see Shawne Merriman, DeMarcus Ware, J.J. Watt, Aaron Donald and others) while trusting top-tier cornerbacks to hold their own against premier receivers. Given their collective ability to elevate the play of their players with creative tactics, McVay and Phillips deserve the top spot on the list.
July 14, 2018 at 6:39 pm #88112znModerator.@BenFennell_NFL and I have studied a ton of this #Rams offense the last couple of weeks. Really great scheme that McVay has put together out there. Clear influences from Belichick, Sean Payton, Shanahan, Andy Reid and others. Strong run game, great play-action, bunches, rubs etc

Shot 1 – It all starts, however, with Todd Gurley and the run game. Outside Zone is the staple run scheme. Gurley is a one-cut, downhill slasher who can pick up large chunks at a time, and that #Rams OL is greatly improved. pic.twitter.com/ulAUU4HKnQ

We dove deep into this #Eagles #Rams matchup on Eagles Game Plan. What makes Jared Goff so effective? What can the offense do to block Aaron Donald? Plus, WR coach Mike Groh breaks down film of the top 4 WRs

Shot 2 – The #Rams have one of the best play-action schemes in the NFL. We'll focus on some of the staple concepts soon, but look how much trust and faith Jared Goff has on these throws. He hits the top of his drop after the fake, turns and WHIPS this pass over the middle pic.twitter.com/9eIZo4c0Yo

Shot 3 – This is one of the staples of the #Rams passing game off play-action. The clear route from No. 2 WR along with the underneath route helps create a huge void inside. Jared Goff hits the top of his drop and hits the Dig route in-stride for a first down. pic.twitter.com/PL37PiEd9G

Shot 4 – Another one of the #Rams staples off play-action is the 3-level stretch. Ball is meant to go to the intermediate route, but depending on the look of the safeties Goff will go over the top for the big play. Has happened many times this year. pic.twitter.com/DTFSwg8dnc

Shot 5 – Another concept we've seen a lot of from this #Rams offense off play-action. You get a Post from No. 1 and a deep out cut from No. 2. Typically attacks quarters coverage but it works in a lot of situations. Nice 6- or 7-man protection shot play. pic.twitter.com/WLGHhLrG5C

Shot 6 – It's 'The Play' @BenFennell_NFL @jco3215. The #Rams (and other teams) have run this a bunch of times this year with plenty of wrinkles to it. Watch out for Todd Gurley down the seam. Also show where it originated this fall. pic.twitter.com/mZv3A2WR0Y

Shot 7 – Shades of Kyle Shanahan influence in this play-action pass game. They have a ton of concepts that complement their deep/intermediate passing plays. I guarantee you'll see at least one of these on Sunday vs #Eagles defense. Screens/throwbacks vs aggressive defense. pic.twitter.com/DgooHh6W1p

Shot 8 – Sean McVay does a great job of putting his players in position to leverage the strengths and hide their weaknesses. He's gotten a lot out of Tavon Austin in the screen game, on gadgets, and even as a tailback on basic run concepts #Rams #Eagles pic.twitter.com/r8IPLCIbol

Shot 9 – #Rams are also very good with Bunch / Stacked WR sets, and biggest benefactor of that is rookie WR Cooper Kupp. Again, leverage a player's strengths and hide his weaknesses. Kupp doesn't need to beat press on any of these. Scheme gets him free release to win mid-route pic.twitter.com/8mMC9r0jkl
