Sometimes emergencies bring out coach Sean McVay’s best ideas.
at SoFi Stadium will keep the Rams’ top offensive weapon out for at least several weeks, it will be fascinating to see how McVay tries to adjust an offense that already has slumped from one of the NFL’s best in the Super Bowl championship season to one of its worst this year.Last November, the Rams’ chances of winning the Super Bowl looked as remote during a three-game losing streak as their chances of making the playoffs do now when they’re 3-6 and last in the NFC West.
With quarterback Matthew Stafford struggling with interceptions a year ago, McVay reverted to the ground game by setting up six-man offensive lines and getting the ball to his top healthy running back.in a romp over the Jaguars started a five-game, 497-yard stretch for him and a five-game winning streak that carried the Rams to the division title.
Michel is gone – to the Chargers – Cam Akers was gone for three games in a dispute with McVay, presumably over his usage or lack of it, and the running game is the least productive in the league, the injury-riddled offensive line a big reason.Fifth-round draft pick Kyren Williams is healthy, and gained nine yards on his first carry of the season.
