We were all happy to get out of Florida with an ugly road win vs a solid Jags team with a fierce pass defense. But I think all of us felt frustrated that so many drives stalled. We could have literally put them away and blown them out on 10 separate drives that somehow stalled.
Why did the Drives stall? Was it Goff's fault? Mcvay? Or just a great defense that brought our so called powerful offense back to earth.
Thank me later, but I did the leg work to uncover the mystery of the stalled drives in this weeks addition of "Who killed my Drive".
Let's get is started:
The Rams had 10 drives that stalled. I went back and watched all 10 and here is what happened:
1. 3rd and 1 - Gurley stuffed. Predictable play
2. 3rd and 2 - Watkins dropped pass. Tight defense but ball was there for the first down.
3. 3rd and 10 - Goff sacked. Credit Jags Defense and Calais Campbell.
4. 3rd and 6 - Campbell batted pass.
5. 3rd and 1 - Gurley stuffed. Predictable play.
6. 3rd and 4 - Incomplete to Everett. Pass interference not called in my opinion, some could argue Everett should have caught it which is becoming a trend with him, not catching balls in Traffic
7. Woods fumble.
8. 3rd and 11 - Incomplete to Watkins. Bouye has a sneaky pushoff that isn't caught by the ref and positions Watkins under the ball making it appear just a tad overthrown. This is to me, a great individual defensive play that was so quick it couldn't get called, or usually isn't. Great defensive play.
9. 3rd and 20 - Incomplete to Woods. Everett Hold and Tavon 6 yard loss put us in unmanageable. Rams make safe throw. Some knock Goff for the throw or Woods with the catch. I think it was too low and put this one on Goff. But that is a tough 3rd and 20 throw. I'm knocking Everett for the 10 yard Holding penalty that put us in this position.
10.3rd and 3 - Gurley stuffed.
Who Killed my Drive Summary:
3 Stalled drives due to Mcvay running Gurley up the middle. I love Mcvay, really I do. But this is 5 or 6 times in three games. Time to snap out of Fisher ball.
3 Stalled drives due to Jags Defense. One by Bouye and and 2 by Calais Campbell who batted a pass and also got a sack. He is their Aaron Donald. Drive Killer. Hard to beat. Credit defense. No fault.
2 Everett fails. I love Everett and understand he is a rookie, but it's time he show some first year improvement. Holding calls and dropped pass (interfered with but still). He's had other penalties and dropped passes this year that have killed drives. Time to get better.
1 Woods fumble. Ball security Bro.
1 Incomplete low throw to Woods on 3rd and 20. Not holding this against Goff because I am pretty sure the goal was to throw safe and keep it down. I am fine with that. I
So Who Killed your drive?
Mcvay - 3
Jags Defense - 3
Everett - 2
Woods -1
Watkins - 1
Great win, but lot's to work on. All fixable things.
