Game Thread: Preseason Game 2- Houston Texans @ Los Angeles Rams, SoFi Stadium, Friday, 08/19/22, 7:00PM, PST

That's good to know ALR. But how many of those backs are hurt often? And would you not like to have a big back like say a Steven Jackson or a Mike Alstott-sized guy. Ya know, the 6-2, 6-3, 240-245lb RB who could be used as a lead blocker in say the Jumbo Offensive set? Just because everyone else has the same type of back just makes it a fact that Rams are like everyone else in the league but it doesn't improve our inconsistent and often weak running game which may change this year as OC Coen is more run oriented.

Guys Jackson’s size/speed don’t come around very often Retro.

And they are a lot of dynamic RB’s in this league that are at Akers size or less.

Hell, the 9ers had a hell of a running game last season with a 200lb RB and a WR.

I would love a Steven Jackson on the team. They just don’t exist, and the few that do, aren’t going anywhere from their teams.

TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. B.Perkins rushes left end. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS. PENALTY on LA-B.Hopkins, Offensive Holding, 10 yards, enforced at HST 2 - No Play. M.Gay extra point is GOOD, Center-M.Orzech, Holder-R.Dixon.
