Oh the drops are definitely AK and for whatever reason this has been an issue for him this season--untimely drops. Carr is putting the ball in his hands, there isn't much more he can do.
Yes, we could have run the ball more in the 2nd half, but I don't think it was necessarily abandoned. The Rams tightened up on early downs and that kind of affected play-calling.
I don't think that's a misuse of Taysom's skilset. I'd like to see more designs specifically to get the ball to him--some quick screens out of bunch or stack alignments, stuff like that. I think the Rams gameplan kind of dictated how they were using him in base situations--the QB runs were all kind of 3rd down or change-up plays with little tread.
There is no real "misuse" of Taysom's skillset. There can be underuse, especially when he isn't used much in the run game, but it did seem to really be a decision based on self-scout and--more-so, probably--the Rams defense.
