Interesting, but confusing.CDTShareTweetShareShareLos Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay continues to confuse with answers on RB Todd Gurley on Rich Eisen ShowLos Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay talks to RB Todd Gurley during pregame warmups before the game against the Los Angeles Chargers, Sep. 23, 2018.Robert Hanashiro-USA TODAY SportsLos Angeles Rams Head Coach Sean McVay went on the Rich Eisen Show today and spoke about a variety of topics.Of course, one of the major lines of questioning pertained to RB Todd Gurley Los Angeles Rams Jerseys 2019 , the status of his knee and how much it impacted the Rams’ postseason.McVay’s responses were...confusing.Look. A lot of that simply doesn’t make sense. But it’s not necessarily new. It’s just strange to claim Todd Gurley had four carries against the Saints because the Rams “weren’t able to get the run game going much” in the same game that C.J. Anderson had 16 carries. And it’s confusing to now acknowledge that Gurley was “banged up at the end of the year” when back on February 1, McVay claimed Gurley was “100%.”I totally understand the impetus to try to not play up the injury throughout the playoffs. There’s a professionalism to putting your head down and doing your job even with nagging injuries that won’t prevent you from playing regardless of whether you’re the highest-paid running back in the league or if you’re the 46th guy on the 46-man gameday active roster. And I certainly appreciate the gamesmanship that goes on with not disclosing the variety of issues guys are carrying physically throughout the season that don’t get reported until we learn they had surgery in the offseason.But this was an injury that (a) clearly affected the Rams’ gameplay and (b) clearly affected Gurley’s availability. I don’t think it’s unfair to ask if either are going to continue to be the case even though the Rams opted not to bring back the guy that was so crucial to their plans that it left Gurley, as Eisen put it, standing on the sidelines holding his helmet in his hands. Instead, they decided to bring back a complement for Gurley that has never been anywhere near that crucial to their gameplans. Maybe Malcolm Brown will have a huge year. But it sure sounds like McVay’s not necessarily planning on it. And that’s just confusing if we’re taking him at his word.The Athletic’s Rich Hammond put it well in response:As a fan, I understand the adherence to the competitive nature of the story.I don’t understand why the Rams Discount Dakota Allen Jersey , McVay and Gurley himself opted to mislead instead of simply avoid the issue at all.Eisen also asked McVay about the improvement of QB Jared Goff:And the infamous no-call against CB Nickell Robey-Coleman in the NFC Championship:McVay and Gurley as well as Goff, DT Michael Brockers and DL Aaron Donald will all address the media on Monday around 3pm ET/12pm PT.Expect some kind of update, one way or the other. The Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots battled it out in an extremely low scoring game that ended 13-3. Super Bowl 53 turned out to be a chess match between two brilliant head coaches that both sputtered offensively, though both thrived defensively.Let’s revisit the matchups to watch:DT Aaron Donald vs QB Tom BradyThe best player on the field (Aaron Donald, not Tom Brady) actually had a relatively quiet game by his standards. It wasn’t Donald who impacted the game a ton on the defensive line, but it was his linemates Ndamukong Suh Dakota Allen Jersey nfl draft , Michael Brockers, and Dante Fowler Jr who wreaked havoc. Now, part of the reason that happened is because of the attention Donald garners, but the remainder of the defensive line really hit another level of play in the Super Bowl.ILB’s Cory Littleton/Mark Barron vs RB James WhiteThe duo of Cory Littleton and Mark Barron were fantastic in the biggest game of the year. Both guys were instrumental in helping stuff the run, but not only that, they were arguably even better in coverage. Littleton notched himself a deflected interception in the first quarter and Barron nearly got one for himself later in the game. Both guys had multiple other plays in coverage. Lastly Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , James White was essentially a complete non-factor in the game as he had a total of nine yards.CB Nickell Robey-Coleman vs WR Julian EdelmanI expected Nickell Robey-Coleman to follow Julian Edelman all over the field, but that wasn’t exactly the case. Edelman had snaps versus every Rams cornerback, but not only that, even FS Lamarcus Joyner and the inside linebacker duo got him in coverage. Edelman was unstoppable to the tune of 10 receptions for 141 yards. He also won the Super Bowl 53 MVP award.WR Josh Reynolds vs CB Jason McCourtyJosh Reynolds had a quiet game as he only pulled in three receptions for 28 yards, though it could and probably should have been much more productive. There were at least three instances (drag route, deep in Dakota Allen Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , hook) where QB Jared Goff completely missed a wide open Reynolds, which is very unfortunate. One of the misses turned out to be the Stephon Gilmore interception that more-or-less sealed the game.TE Gerald Everett vs CB J.C. Jackson/SS Patrick ChungThis was one of the places the Rams really lost the game in my opinion. Gerald Everett had a grand total of one target and came away without even one reception. The Rams really dropped the ball here as Everett can be a dangerous weapon and they didn’t even bother to take advantage of the matchup.Rams’ OL/QB Jared Goff vs Patriots’ DLYeah, you can chalk this up as the biggest “L” of the game. The Rams’ offensive line was horrific. They allowed Goff to get sacked four times, though he was nearly pressured/hit on every dropback. Not only that, but the running game was non-existent and only averaged three yards-per-carry. The Patriots’ Dont’a Hightower was possessed and unblockable.
