The All-Pro wide receiver took heat Sunday for his decision to slide instead of attempting to run for a potential game-clinching first down late in their loss to the Buccaneers.
Here’s what we learned, what we heard and what comes next after the Rams’
“You’re in that moment when you gotta make a decision,” Kupp said. “Do you guarantee yourself the first down and potentially stop the clock or put your foot in the ground and cut back inwards? Where do you wanna draw the line? It happens quick.” Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson said he’s OK with Kupp’s decision because maybe he doesn’t get the first down and he’s knocked out of bounds to stop the clock.
“We gotta really figure out a lot of different things,” McVay said. “Whether it’s different players, whether it’s different scheme, different things like that. This is not good enough and I have to do better, too. I’m a huge part of this.”McVay said Monday he’s unsure what offensive changes he’ll make this week, but he dwelled on the eight three-and-outs with only 55 total plays against the Buccaneers.
If McVay decides to go with one or two running backs the rest of the way, Henderson might be at the top of his list. Henderson had a memorable sequence with back-to-back runs of 11 and 23 yards against the Buccaneers. “When you have as many three-and-outs it’s hard to get into any sort of rhythm and routine and so I think we’re at our best when we get more plays off. You have the ability to sustain some drives, and you get a handful of different guys involved. I thought Darrell Henderson did have some bright spots.”
