The problem is we lost a rushing threat, teams will rush Stafford on every play unless another back steps up big right away and can put them on their heels.

We might even move Johnny Mundt to Fullback and run an I or a three tight-end set such as the JUMBO to alleviate the necessity for a one-back set in McVay's O.

yeah but over half of those guys on the list were not as good as Akers, or better yet they were 3rd down backs or 2nd tier to start. It wasn't much of a surprise to see those names not be mentioned in the league anymore.

Well, that list is primarily the bottom of the performance category and Akers will suffer some decrement in his performance after he recovers. The exact degree of decrement remains to be witnessed. He WILL NOT be the same back as before the injury as he will be after recovery and that is the bottom line.

So, we pay Gurley $8,400,000 to not play for us this year. Not that I want him back, but throw in a couple of club box seats and let him earn his money.

What’s the point of hanging onto guys like Xavier and Calais if they aren’t going to let them step up when it is needed just to bring in an old vet?

best to let the young guys roll. That’s what they kept them around for after all.

1) I feel bad for Cam. Dudes a beast and he’s got that “won’t go down” mentality. Hope that’s not what caused this. Hopefully he can bounce back.

2) I’m open to the next 2-3 RBs after Cam. Henderson can fly but he doesn’t have the power Cam has which leads me to #3

3) Can we finally find that Mike Alstott or Lagarette Blount type RB for 2-3 yards. Power RB 6’1 240 please. Even a CJ Anderson would do

4) My guess is they find 2 RBs after training camp/preseason cuts hit IF they don’t like what they currently have. I believe Donald was high on X Jones last year and said the kid ran hard. Hell he made the team but was behind 3 pretty good RBs.

5) Wasn’t Henderson leading the NFL in rushing at one point last year? Or is that my imagination or lack of memory?

Yes, at one point Henderson was leading the league.

and even his season numbers based on yards after contact, etc were up there league wide.

Henderson isn't a better all around RB than Cam, but he is faster for sure. Receiving RB I don’t know who’s better. Darrell isn’t going to get those 2-3 tough yards like Cam tho. But once DH is in the open.. buh bye. One thing is he needs to hit the hole and go. He’s danced at the LOS a lot the first 2 years but yeah I thought he was leading the NFL at one point last year. This year is a contract year for DH I believe so that could be very interesting.

Now didn't I scream it to the rooftops for the last three drafts or so for the collective dumbass twins to take an O-lineman early in the draft and specifically this last draft, which was rich in Centers to take one?

Now suddenly the dumbass twins known as McSnead have discovered they'll need help at the Center position because Allen is going to get cut and all they really have now is Austin Corbett and some two-bit POS they found dumpster diving. Corbett is a mover-over from guard where he was playing pretty darn well. Dumb sonsabitches just create their own problems with stupid shit like this last draft.

I ever get McVay in a room I am going to rattle his gourd for about ten minutes and let him know that this notion of trading-away number one picks is just plain self-defeating. Not only are they in cap hell, the dumbasses are discovering that their O-line may need some help this season. See for yourselves.

Speaking of finding our Alstott. Both Leonard Fournette and Malcolm Brown are available. So is Duke Johnson.

At Center. Nick Easton and Austin Reiter are both available.

Guess who are FAs already? Nickell Robey-Coleman, Austin Blythe, Ndamukong Suh, D. J. Fluker, Kwann Short, and Sammy Watkins. Except for Fluker, all of these guys played for the Rams.

And ED thinks the Rams should sign Gurley just for general purposes. I think that would be a disaster because of the cancer that would get started in the locker room just like back in 2019. I am quite sure, Gurley's career is done.

Dickerson must of not noticed, last time Gurley was here he was voted a team captain by his teammates, it is more than injury history with Gurley

watched video of Xavier Jones' college highlights, and that guy can cut on a dime. Very impressive vision on the field. He should compliment Henderson well, if not take over if Henderson gets injured and be just fine.
