It's up there with asking Quinton Spain to block Aaron Donald 1-on-1. It's not Spain's fault he can't block Donald 1-on-1, it's a failure in coaching to not give help to stop the best defensive player in the NFL, let alone on a day where they have already allowed 7 sacks.
Had it on my sig for awhile there that when it came down to the final minutes of the SB, the Rams coaches believed in Cooper Kupp and Aaron Donald and the Bengals coaches believed in Eli Apple and Samaje Perine. That's the difference in coaches leading their teams to victory or defeat.
Not getting Donald blocked up is a coaching failure. Donald should’ve been doubled with a RB in for extra blocking period. He’s that good.
