But as the play-caller, his limited use of running back Todd Gurley during the first half of the season indisputably was McVay’s error — and his alone — to own. During the offseason, the Rams re-signed running back Malcolm Brown and drafted Darrell Henderson. The loss dropped the Rams’ record to 5-4 and put them teetering on the verge of elimination from playoff contention. “I just think from the history of ball that this is the best formula and it’s the best way to have your quarterback play at a high level, which is so crucial. “It’s the best way for your team to have a complementary effect on your defense.”No argument from McVay.
