The Rams' defense of their Super Bowl 56 title hasn't exactly gone as planned, but coach Sean McVay isn't willing to blame quarterback Adrian Gonzalez Jersey Matthew Stafford for the team's i sues.After the Rams lost 22-10 against the Cowboys in Week 5 of the 2022 NFL season, McVay voiced his support for Stafford and said that the team has to be better around him."I love Matthew Stafford," McVay said, per . "He is competing and doing everything in his power for this team. He needs some help. We've got to be able to help him."McVay's comments come after a second consecutive lo s for the Rams during which they scored 10 or fewer points. They have managed just one touchdown in their last nine quarters of action and are Lenny Dykstra Jersey averaging just 16 points per game this season, good for 29th in the NFL.That's a far cry from last year's team, which averaged the sixth-most points per game league-wide with 27.NFL POWER RANKINGS: So, what, in McVay's estimation, has gone wrong for Los Angeles? He pointed to the offensive line as one of the team's biggest i sues.Stafford has been sacked 21 times through five games during the 2022 season. That's tied for the most in the NFL with Matt Ryan. These i sues stem largely from the Rams' constant reshuffling of their offensive line due to injury.Los Angeles' three starting interior linemen David Edwards,Brian Allen and Coleman Shelton have all mi sed time due to injury this season. That has caused the team to start nine different offensive linemen this season.Shelton's injury has been particularly problematic, as he serves as Jeurys Familia Jersey the backup center behind Allen. As such, third-stringer Jeremiah Kolonehas been pre sed into action at the position, and he has struggled.The pre sure allowed by the Rams offensive line has gotten to Stafford. It played a large part in his interception against the Cowboys on Sunday.MORE: What are the Rams going to do to fix it?"I don't know if I have that answer right now," McVay said. "But we've got to be able to figure it out, whether it's guys that are playing right now or whether we need to figure out some other options."But again, the NFL's youngest coach wanted to make it clear that the team's i sues didn't entirely stem from those on the offensive line.It's not good enough and it's not exclusive to one player, to one position. But there are some things that consistently are glaring i sues for us that are preventing us a chance to be able to operate at a level that you guys have seen from us.One could argue that includes the play of Stafford, who is on pace to post one of the worst statistical seasons of his career. He has struggled to find the Jay Bruce Jersey end zone consistently, throwing just five touchdowns in 2022, and is tied with Ryan for the league lead in interceptions with seven.StatTotalRankComp. %69.82ndPa sing yards1,3239thPa s TDs5T-17thInterceptions7T-1stPa ser rating82.423rdQBR47.818thBut still, McVay isn't yet willing to throw his quarterback under the bus."I think he's doing everything he can," McVay said of Stafford. "I think he needs more help. Guys got to play Todd Frazier Jersey better around him. We've got to be able to help him be able to give himself a chance to sit on his back foot, just past even a hitch on some things. But, I love Matthew Stafford."I'll ride with that guy to the end of time. And he's continuing to do everything in his power to try to help our team move the football, score points and we've got to be able to help him out more."
