also want to add this.
everybody’s talking about the new passing scheme and yeah it’s great. they rank like fifth in passing offense while they only rank 16th in rushing offense.
but guess what? if you look at attempts, they rank something like 27th in passing attempts per game, and they rank 7th in rushing attempts per game.
i don’t know if this has been posted before, but i thought that was interesting as well. almost as if he’s more concerned with establishing the running game. and with passing he’s more concerned with the quality of the passes rather than just trying to throw it all the time. plus this is a play action offense so a lot of it is probably tied into that as well.
but really to me this is more of a run oriented offense that can gash defenses with the pass.
now defenses are adjusting and playing deep so i expect the rams to run it even more to get those defenses closer to the box.
also as goff matures maybe mcvay loosens the reigns a little bit and they start passing it more. but right now they are geared more toward running the ball.
