Anyone notice Mcvays attack scheme

[chris98251]

He matched Adams up on Witherspoon and Puke up on Wollen a lot with a lot of outs and or second level slants. Woolen could not match the cutting ability of Puke and Adans was just taller the Witherspoon. Yes you need a QB as skilled as Stafford to work, but was watching it a lot, when we dropped deeper with our LB's is when we started getting hit with the runs so bad also.

Huh?

One of us needs to go to bed. It might be me.

 

[Dolomight12]

I think I just saw a UFO. Not even joking. Maybe I should go lay it down for the night, myself.

yes.. but id say the advantage that Adams has over Spoon is size. He managed shove spoon to the ground on a few of his completions.

 

[Atradees]

I noticed they picked on josh a bit. I saw Woolen just fall over in pursuit. I mean we won. Can we do better?

 

[Dolomight12]

We have some stuff to clean up over the next 2 weeks, for sure. Especially on defense.

I have zero doubt Macdonald will have it taken care of. He was already alluding to as much.

 

[chris98251]

When we play zone he can match up who he wants against whom he wants exploiting physical traits. After the last game where he through for a ton I watched how he did it tonight, was not always those two players but using same tendencies. We may not see the Patriots do it, but I will bet McVay will continue to. He also puts his TE's against Witherspoon like last Game with Parkison.

 

[Ycrew]

Gotta give props to Emmanwori breaking up passes from Adams and TE.

 

[hawker84]

As fast as they claim Woolen is, why does he get beat deep so much? Puka ran right past him with his blazing 4.5 forty speed. What Woolen run 4.2 something? Is the dude just lazy or what? He gets beat a lot and is constantly playing catch up.

The matchup problem was less of MvVays making and more of our own. I mentioned this in the game day chat - MM played a ton of man to man. I think he wanted to avoid Stafford hitting receivers in the wide open holes in our zone that he found last time.

It didn't look good a lot of the time, but in the end, it worked out.

And yes, wen need to draft a big bodied corner. As bad as he was on those back to back plays, Woolen was the only decent matchup we had that could match their size.

But Spoon came up HUGE when he had to (and wasn't tripping over the yard line stripes in the field).

Jobe also had a few nice plays in the end.

That's wasn't about speed. Woolen has shown in the past that if he gets distracted or starts to doubt himself he misses assignments and gets beat.

He was caught up in the stupidity of the play before. McVay knew it and went after him. Same way they did in week 1 where he got beat a couple of times and they went right at him when his head was out of it. First one was a big play to their TE2 and then going back to him again for a TD in the EndZone.

It's a tendency he needs to break. Hopefully almost getting his team beat in the NFCCG is enough to do it - and get him to mature.

For the same reason JSN beats guys who on paper are faster than him too. It's fine to be fast but if your QB throws pinpoint darts and you can beat the corner with your route, the WR is going to make the catch 9 times out of 10. That's why Puka averages over 95 yards per game

I think Riq sealed his off season fate tonight. Macdonald clearly values we over me. Look at last week against the Niners where he praised the team’s “poise” in the face of constant antagonism by them. Clearly they need Riq for one more game so they will downplay it like they did in the pressers yesterday, but that penalty and his poor decision making almost cost the whole franchise and city a win on the biggest stage. I think that just guaranteed him a one way ticket out of here after the season.

The DB’s might not have been exposed as badly had the pass rush been better. One sack on Stanford since 2023 is unacceptable. The hawks need to make changes to both the secondary and the Dline.

Dude gets beat by tight ends as well. He's constantly trailing, all season and last season as well.

Hes been getting beat constantly since last season, by wr's and tight ends. Dudes constantly trailing. Horrible technique i guess.

 

[chris98251]

He had helped himself up till last night, it may have cost him millions. Head cases get second chances sure, Ramsey is one. But habitual offenders get shorter contrats also, I know he is an enigma, when he is on he is lights out, problem is his bulb burns out occationally like last night and it's always at the worst times.

 

[GemCity]

Let me vomit….

Ok…Im back. Unfortunately, McVay is an offensive mastermind. Be right back… gotta puke again.

He’s good.

Hope he enjoys Cancun.

*Edit* - I’m lying. I hope he gets shellfish poisoning. Survives..but definitely gets shellfish poisoning.

Yeah. I have a feeling he's out of here after the SB is over.
