OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY
Sean McVay has described his own offense as ‘deceptively complex.’ The Rams do not run a ton of schemes and do not use very many formations, but much of what they do offensively is series-based, meaning that they run a lot of schemes that look the same and work off of each other. Tony Romo summed it up pretty well when broadcasting their week 10 matchup with Seattle, “It’s almost simple, but brilliant. Now they fake the exact play they just ran… it’s really impressive how McVay runs so few plays but it’s impossible to stop them because he does 7 things off the exact same look.” As Romo said, it makes their offense really tough to stop because if the defense is gearing up to stop one play, they can just run another that looks the same but is designed to counter the defense’s response to the original play.

This was one of the Rams' best passing concepts in 2018 (83.3% comp, 11.78 yards per play). #1 runs a glance route, #2 runs a 5-yard sit route that will pivot out if uncovered. You can learn more about this offense by checking out this book: https://t.co/vK9TiERoML pic.twitter.com/abiT24OeAv

The Rams have had a lot of success with their half-boot throwback plays over the past 2 years (45 plays, 571 yards, 3 TDs). On these plays, they will leave a TE and WR on the backside of the zone action to allow the QB to set up and throw back across the field. pic.twitter.com/lqLFkOC7Yh

McVay also talked about using "routes that start out looking the same that are different." Here's an example of how they do this with their deep cross concept.
