Scoring TD in the red zone isn’t easy

But some do it better at this point, is the issue. Last year the top 5 teams were 61% or better (Saints, Packers, Patz, Eagles, Jagz).

Just looking forward to the Rams being on that list.

And when we have data to formulate opinion we can. 1 season, does not qualify imo

And my point continues to be: The Rams were #1 in touchdowns per play. Does it really matter where they were on the field when they scored those TDs?

We have 4 years of data on McVay. 3 in wash, 1 in LA.

He’s never been in the top 10 in redzone efficiency as a play caller.

He’s young and smart, I expect him to improve, but make no mistake, he hasn’t been good to date.

Well, 3 seasons. He started calling the plays in Washington in 2015. And they weren't bad at it in 2015. They fell off in 2016 though, and the Rams in 2017 came in at 17th, which isn't optimal. We don't know yet how 2018 will look.

Rams RZ is from the 50 in but inside the 20 it gets pretty crowded. As clever as McV is I expect to see improvements.

TE's should play a larger roll and cover the tall receiver roll.

GZ is a good consolation prize...

He needs to get more creative, with plays like the TE release, or tackle eligible plays now and then. Get tricky. His red zone plays are too straight forward. Keep the defense guessing. Maybe he has no faith in his TEs in the red zone? But, he had Reed in Washington so I guess it's not that.
Maybe it's McVay's offense. He uses play action and receivers at different levels. The levels thing goes out the window in the red zone. So are the receivers more aided by the scheme, or is Goff having trouble reading the short field?

I mentioned this but I don't think it's Goff. Last year on this stat...%Touchdowns/Attempt, In 10...

http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/lead ... pe=Passing

...he ended up ranked 5th.

(I could only link this year, the site does not archive).

It’s not Goff.

I know I don’t understand plays as well as many here.

McVay will settle down. We are in his first years ever.

We will also reap his experience as it happens.

So. Calm the fuck down and enjoy being a Rams fan during it.

My god.

Some egos just need some damn thing to complain about to feel happy. Guess what: you are not our coach.

Thankfully.
