\u201cWell, I think the first thing is, the vision that we had for what our offense was going to be going into the season, and then what it became organically was very different \u2013 just based on the number of receivers that we played with in a lot of situations,\u201d McVay said. \u201cPart of the thought process when we made that signing last year was that we were going to still be in a lot of the 11 personnel grouping. You have him and Puka (Nacua) and Davante (Adams) and then, you know, the complementary pieces. And then unfortunately, he had some injuries. There were some different things that went on where, hey, the games continue to go when he missed the period of time. And then when we kind of organically figured out this next iteration, where we leaned into a lot of the 13 personnel, that naturally just takes receivers off the grass.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the human being,\u201d McVay said. \u201cI think the more I do this, it\u2019s so much more about the relationships that are built \u2013 and I know that\u2019s not what you\u2019re asking me, but that\u2019s where that means a lot. He\u2019s let me into his life. I love him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish I really could have done better, but I always still have a responsibility for what I think is best for our football team,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd if you were to ask me right now what our offense or defense or in the kicking game is going to look like, we have visions and in a lot of instances, they go according to plan. And then sometimes they organically adjust and adapt as the season unfolds. And that\u2019s really what last year entailed. And I\u2019m not trying to make any excuses. That\u2019s just the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWell, I think the first thing is, the vision that we had for what our offense was going…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":736041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2079],"tags":[7,1014,58,4800,2444,2611,6,424],"class_list":{"0":"post-736040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-rams","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-los-angeles","10":"tag-los-angeles-rams","11":"tag-los-angeles-rams-free-agency","12":"tag-losangeles","13":"tag-losangelesrams","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-rams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116030366285594475","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=736040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/736040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/736041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=736040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=736040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=736040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
