Rubs, screens, and picks can be utilized to higher degree from stack/bunch sets. To the common fan, it seems the down field offense runs directly and exclusively through Cooper Kupp and if he can’t make a play, it is limited to screen passes and short outs.įrom the tighter formations, receivers have more range-of-motion room to run routes before the ball is thrown and then break upfield after the catch. Even though the formations are spread wider and there are more empty backfields, the offense has contracted in on itself to the point of collapse. And I think that’s one of the things we try to stay true to as well.”īut there isn’t much sleight-of-hand in the current offense. But it’s that illusion of complexity that I think you see a lot of the best offenses do year in and year out. “So we might be running the same play, but the presentation of it looks different based on how we motion to it, how we create the final formation, what personnel grouping we’re doing it out of. The features being more downhill mid and inside zone runs, wider formations, and deeper pass routes predominantly from the shot gun formation.įirst thing that should be said is that the Rams have never had a huge playbook, McVay calls it an “illusion of complexity,” In D.C., Mcvay embraced the scheme, sort of a spread/west coast hybrid.

McVy was itching to move the offense vertically and made the big move to acquire Matthew Stafford. live in the intermediate passing zones.Įven with substantial success, the Goff/McVay relationship soured and the system experiment ran its course. The Rams attack made defenses respect the run on both the edges and middle, with running backs working the interior and when running outside, it could be any one of the backs, tight ends and/or wide receivers. None of it was new, so what made it so successful? McVay integrated multiple players and positions into the movement, creating numerical blocking advantage’s and thus, space for the playmakers. The movement aspect included not only shifts and motion, but a predominantly outside zone run game. He lined up Goff under center and made extensive use of play-action, tight bunch sets and pre-snap horizontal movement. McVay obliged by building a scheme that was more scripted. When McVay came to the Rams in 2017, he inherited quarterback Jared Goff, a rhythm passer who played best in an offense with a systematic approach.
