What McVay said to Tavon

[MachS]

In the first half we used a timeout for what I'm assuming was a formation mistake, but did anyone read McVay's lips when Tavon walked over to the sideline??

Tavon was walking over and the camera was zoomed in on McVay and he asked Tavon twice "what don't you understand?"

I think this tells us Tavon is still adjusting to the new offense and isn't 100% where he needs to be. The good news is he's been effective already and that should only increase as he gets more comfortable.

I agree. Tavon is starting to find his groove. But this is probably why he doesn't have tavon running routes, not confident in him yet. But there's no denying that tavon could make this offense unstoppable.

Not a surprise is it? I think the guy is a very slow learner and probably milked out the hammy if he did have a problem initially, in order to buy time to learn the offense.

But I'm gonna go easy on Tavon this week, since he did contribute positively to a huge team win. Good to see him produce out of the backfield, the guy really did a nice job spelling TG.

Did he really say that? McVay Doesn’t seem the type to say something like that.

Without knowing the tone, its not necessarily a rude question

Don't think he was being facetious, think McVay genuinely was asking him what part of the play didn't he understand, so he could correct him.

Doesn't mean he was being a dick.
Might be an actual teacher as a coach.

Yep, that's basically what I read.
Tavon is grossly overpaid.

Tavon had a great game.

He was slow learning the offense year one. I don't know what the problem was today. I hope he gets more opps. I'm sure he works hard at learning the plays because by all accounts he is considered a hard worker. Like to see him get some routes.

The way we ran our fly sweeps today was slightly different, a wrinkle that was put in. If I remember correctly that was the first time we ran it so McVay seemed frustrated Tavon wasn't in the right spot. Probably something we repped multiple times this week.

It looks like McVay doesn't put up with mental mistakes. And when they happen it seems they get corrected unlike during the previous regime.

Overall I thought Tavon played well today. This was just interesting to me though as McVay seems typically pretty chill.

What do you care? It's not your money. The rams can't cut him to save money and wouldn't cut him because he's a valuable piece of the offense. Don't understand why you're whining after such a great win.

And players buy into it when it yields results like today

McVay expects perfection. I don't think his system is terribly complex to learn, it just has a lot of variables and is tough to defend.

He puts guys in position to make plays. Basically 180 to Fisher.

McVay does well on camera and seems like really likable guy in the interviews I've seen, but I think there's another side to him that's not so visible. Clearly he knows how he wants the offense run but he's also the OC so he should have the answers.

I care a lot as all Rams fans should.
Because the money they wasted on him could have been used to extend Tree or AD.
THAT'S why I care, and why YOU should care.

Well lol.. if you think this is harsh for a Football coach.. im guessing that was sarcasm.

Because.. yeah that's 0.1 % of the level that any football coach I ever had would take it to.

I heard at least "What don't you fucking understand?" To the worst being comments about people's mothers having bigger schlongs then then them... all true.. but I'm sure if any of you played football you heard worst.

He can make this offense very dangerous and I would love to see him succeed BUT I think they are showing him off all over the field and seeing if a team is interested. He just doesn't seem to fit

Tavon's career has been a textbook example so far of "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda".

If anybody could do it it should be McVay.

Sorry, but after 4 years I'm going to wait till I see it happening.

Fisher would have given Tavon a hug.
