It is always easy to play that game. Then you go 12 set and hold one in to block and since our TEs block like dog shit no blocking happens, and the other one in the pattern can't separate from a fucking LB half the time. So that means all the defense has to do is sit on Kupp and Nacua. At least in 11 you have a reasonable chance of whoever is our third WR getting open in a timely manner.
This is not to say I think McVay is blameless schematically. But the problems with players goes so deep starting with the OL that it's hard to get too serious about that shit. People sang the same song last season until the OL started playing well and then all of a sudden we were a dangerous team to play. It wasn't McVay turns out, but the fucking line. Do you really think the league doesn't know every fucking season what McVay's gonna do? Of course they know, but often they can't stop it because it comes down to players executing. And players are where our problems lie.
So for myself I think McVay deserves to have the finger pointed at him for how it seems like his OL plays like it's a two hand touch league until midseason. Can't tell me that isn't related to his "let's rest everyone we might remotely want to play during the season" approach for preseason. But in the end none of that shit matters. This roster is on him. The FA additions are on him. Don't think for a minute Snead stacks this roster without McVay's agreement. They work together on this shit. So there is no end of blame. But even with all his faults McVay is still the best coach we've had, and when the players get upgraded the fans who think scheme is some kind of magic spell will be reminded of that.
