And that usually comes across through his self-criticism in press conferences.If you’ve followed the Rams since McVay took over as Los Angeles’ head coach, this isn’t really news to you. But McVay was perhaps even more empathic than usual following Los Angeles’ 23-20 victory over Denver to bring the club to 6-0 in 2018.“Offensively, I thought we ran the football very well, and I thought I put us in some horrible spots,” McVay said, unprompted, in his opening statement. “Throughout the game, just getting really impatient, forcing things that weren’t there — but the players bailed me out.”Then McVay was asked if the cold temperatures dictated anything when it came to Sunday’s offensive strategy. Temperature at kickoff was 25 degrees, with a wind chill of 18.“You know, it didn’t really dictate anything, the cold didn’t dictate anything, the decisions as far as play selection. If anything, the cold might have just affected my brain with some of the decisions that I made a little bit,” McVay said — seemingly joking, but also not really joking. “But players did a great job — we’ll take the win.”Looking at the stat sheet, the Rams tallied 444 yards of offense, averaged 6.9 yards per play, had 24 first downs, and converted 8-of-14 third-down opportunities. The club did score fewer than 33 points for the first time all year, recording only 23 — albeit with a missed 47-yard field goal along the way. And running back Todd Gurley eclipsed 200 yards rushing for the first time in his career.But quarterback Jared Goff was sacked five times — nearly doubling his total coming into Week 6. Denver has one of the best groups of pass rushers in the league, with Von Miller and rookie Bradley Chubb leading the way. Still, McVay seemed the most frustrated with himself when answering a question about what happened with the club’s pass protection.“[T]hey’ve got great rushers up front and, again, I think that’s where I’m most bothered — is because of the decisions where I put our guys in those spots where you [didn’t] stay ahead of the chains,” McVay said. “There were some of those third downs or even the two-minute [drive] at the end of the half — I thought I really did a poor job of running plays that give us the best chance to execute, and that’s something that I need to do a much better job of. That’s what’s valuable, and fortunately the way that the team and the players played, and the coaches doing a good job — you can learn being able to win in a tough atmosphere and in an environment on the road.“And those are the things you can’t wait to go back and look at the tape, think about why some of the decisions were made, and then the players will look at themselves as well,” McVay continued. “But there was a handful of plays that I really thought I didn’t do a very good job for us today.”So, McVay was very hard on himself. Again, that’s not exactly unusual. And neither was the response by some of Los Angeles’ top offensive players. They understand why McVay is saying what he’s saying. But they also don’t feel like he’s letting them down.“He’s always like that,” Gurley said. “He’s just a great coach, no matter if it’s our fault, he’s just taking the blame and saying he can do a better job, and that’s what we love about him. You know it just goes with us and the coaches, we all live and we learn, and coach does such a great job of being hard on himself because he wants to learn, be great, be a great competitor and that’s how he is.”“It’s great and bad. He’s an incredible coach and does such a great job with us. And he holds himself to a high standard. And I thought he was great today. He may say differently, but I though the did a great job. It’s just stuff to learn from. I think a win’s a win, and we hold ourselves to such a high standard that when we turn the ball over and don’t score 30 points, it doesn’t feel the same. But I think as the rest of the night goes on, I think that mood may shift.” RFU Season Ticket Holder 1 by Elvis 5 years 6 months ago Total posts: 38445 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: Good VInnyB article, and my thoughts POST #29 R4L liked this post McVay press conference:https://www.therams.com/video/sean-mcva ... nce-week-6 RFU Season Ticket Holder 1 by Extremes 5 years 6 months ago Total posts: 121 Joined: Apr 20 2018 LA Practice Squad Good VInnyB article, and my thoughts POST #30 Dick84 wrote:I struggle to take some posters seriously.

Still, McVay seemed the most frustrated with himself when answering a question about what happened with the club’s pass protection.“[T]hey’ve got great rushers up front and, again, I think that’s where I’m most bothered — is because of the decisions where I put our guys in those spots where you [didn’t] stay ahead of the chains,” McVay said. “There were some of those third downs or even the two-minute [drive] at the end of the half — I thought I really did a poor job of running plays that give us the best chance to execute, and that’s something that I need to do a much better job of. That’s what’s valuable, and fortunately the way that the team and the players played, and the coaches doing a good job — you can learn being able to win in a tough atmosphere and in an environment on the road.“And those are the things you can’t wait to go back and look at the tape, think about why some of the decisions were made, and then the players will look at themselves as well,” McVay continued. “But there was a handful of plays that I really thought I didn’t do a very good job for us today.”So, McVay was very hard on himself. Again, that’s not exactly unusual. And neither was the response by some of Los Angeles’ top offensive players. They understand why McVay is saying what he’s saying. But they also don’t feel like he’s letting them down.“He’s always like that,” Gurley said. “He’s just a great coach, no matter if it’s our fault, he’s just taking the blame and saying he can do a better job, and that’s what we love about him. You know it just goes with us and the coaches, we all live and we learn, and coach does such a great job of being hard on himself because he wants to learn, be great, be a great competitor and that’s how he is.”“It’s great and bad. He’s an incredible coach and does such a great job with us. And he holds himself to a high standard. And I thought he was great today. He may say differently, but I though the did a great job. It’s just stuff to learn from. I think a win’s a win, and we hold ourselves to such a high standard that when we turn the ball over and don’t score 30 points, it doesn’t feel the same. But I think as the rest of the night goes on, I think that mood may shift.” RFU Season Ticket Holder 1 by Elvis 5 years 6 months ago Total posts: 38445 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: Good VInnyB article, and my thoughts POST #29 R4L liked this post McVay press conference:https://www.therams.com/video/sean-mcva ... nce-week-6 RFU Season Ticket Holder 1 by Extremes 5 years 6 months ago Total posts: 121 Joined: Apr 20 2018 LA Practice Squad Good VInnyB article, and my thoughts POST #30 Dick84 wrote:I struggle to take some posters seriously.

I don't ever want to hear him and Kurt Warner in the same breath. And as far as Goff vs Wentz, and I've been Goff supporter for 5 years now, he will never be better than Wentz because Wentz reads the field better than Goff and he will always be better reading the field because he is the smarter QB of the two without question.I hope he proves me wrong, but fuck that pisses me off. All week I was thinking he'd bounce back after that game manager like performance he put against the Seahawks... and what does he do, he played like Sean Mannion in the preseason against the Broncos. Instead of progressing, he regressed the last two weeks. fuck.He had down games worse than this last year, and then managed to progress this year (and to a pretty high level) in spite of it. It's just part of getting the experience and seasoning he needs to become more consistent overall. The ups are higher and now so are the downs. Last year in game 6 he was 22 of 47 (appx 47%) with no TDs, 2 INTs, and a qb rating of 48.9. And that was at home. Yet a few months later we saw the qb of the last Seattle game. So saying a down game defines him doesn't add up to me. by Extremes 5 years 6 months ago Total posts: 121 Joined: Apr 20 2018 LA Practice Squad Good VInnyB article, and my thoughts POST #25 /zn/ wrote:He had down games worse than this last year, and then managed to progress this year (and to a pretty high level) in spite of it.

And that usually comes across through his self-criticism in press conferences.If you’ve followed the Rams since McVay took over as Los Angeles’ head coach, this isn’t really news to you. But McVay was perhaps even more empathic than usual following Los Angeles’ 23-20 victory over Denver to bring the club to 6-0 in 2018.“Offensively, I thought we ran the football very well, and I thought I put us in some horrible spots,” McVay said, unprompted, in his opening statement. “Throughout the game, just getting really impatient, forcing things that weren’t there — but the players bailed me out.”Then McVay was asked if the cold temperatures dictated anything when it came to Sunday’s offensive strategy. Temperature at kickoff was 25 degrees, with a wind chill of 18.“You know, it didn’t really dictate anything, the cold didn’t dictate anything, the decisions as far as play selection. If anything, the cold might have just affected my brain with some of the decisions that I made a little bit,” McVay said — seemingly joking, but also not really joking. “But players did a great job — we’ll take the win.”Looking at the stat sheet, the Rams tallied 444 yards of offense, averaged 6.9 yards per play, had 24 first downs, and converted 8-of-14 third-down opportunities. The club did score fewer than 33 points for the first time all year, recording only 23 — albeit with a missed 47-yard field goal along the way.

Temperature at kickoff was 25 degrees, with a wind chill of 18.“You know, it didn’t really dictate anything, the cold didn’t dictate anything, the decisions as far as play selection. If anything, the cold might have just affected my brain with some of the decisions that I made a little bit,” McVay said — seemingly joking, but also not really joking. “But players did a great job — we’ll take the win.”Looking at the stat sheet, the Rams tallied 444 yards of offense, averaged 6.9 yards per play, had 24 first downs, and converted 8-of-14 third-down opportunities. The club did score fewer than 33 points for the first time all year, recording only 23 — albeit with a missed 47-yard field goal along the way. And running back Todd Gurley eclipsed 200 yards rushing for the first time in his career.But quarterback Jared Goff was sacked five times — nearly doubling his total coming into Week 6. Denver has one of the best groups of pass rushers in the league, with Von Miller and rookie Bradley Chubb leading the way. Still, McVay seemed the most frustrated with himself when answering a question about what happened with the club’s pass protection.“[T]hey’ve got great rushers up front and, again, I think that’s where I’m most bothered — is because of the decisions where I put our guys in those spots where you [didn’t] stay ahead of the chains,” McVay said. “There were some of those third downs or even the two-minute [drive] at the end of the half — I thought I really did a poor job of running plays that give us the best chance to execute, and that’s something that I need to do a much better job of. That’s what’s valuable, and fortunately the way that the team and the players played, and the coaches doing a good job — you can learn being able to win in a tough atmosphere and in an environment on the road.“And those are the things you can’t wait to go back and look at the tape, think about why some of the decisions were made, and then the players will look at themselves as well,” McVay continued. “But there was a handful of plays that I really thought I didn’t do a very good job for us today.”So, McVay was very hard on himself. Again, that’s not exactly unusual. And neither was the response by some of Los Angeles’ top offensive players. They understand why McVay is saying what he’s saying. But they also don’t feel like he’s letting them down.“He’s always like that,” Gurley said. “He’s just a great coach, no matter if it’s our fault, he’s just taking the blame and saying he can do a better job, and that’s what we love about him. You know it just goes with us and the coaches, we all live and we learn, and coach does such a great job of being hard on himself because he wants to learn, be great, be a great competitor and that’s how he is.”“It’s great and bad. He’s an incredible coach and does such a great job with us. And he holds himself to a high standard. And I thought he was great today. He may say differently, but I though the did a great job. It’s just stuff to learn from. I think a win’s a win, and we hold ourselves to such a high standard that when we turn the ball over and don’t score 30 points, it doesn’t feel the same. But I think as the rest of the night goes on, I think that mood may shift.” RFU Season Ticket Holder 1 by Elvis 5 years 6 months ago Total posts: 38445 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: Good VInnyB article, and my thoughts POST #29 R4L liked this post McVay press conference:https://www.therams.com/video/sean-mcva ... nce-week-6 RFU Season Ticket Holder 1 by Extremes 5 years 6 months ago Total posts: 121 Joined: Apr 20 2018 LA Practice Squad Good VInnyB article, and my thoughts POST #30 Dick84 wrote:I struggle to take some posters seriously.
