Rams get Caddy

Cadillac Williams - RB - Rams

Rams agreed to terms with RB Cadillac Williams, formerly of the Bucs.
The Rams had a chance for legit Steven Jackson insurance by bringing in Jason Snelling. Instead, they've opted to go with a third-down specialist (Williams) and a brittle change-of-pace back (Jerious Norwood). Williams averaged a worthless 2.2 YPC through five games as the Bucs' lead back last season. That average spiked to 5.0 YPC the rest of the way when he was sprinkled in as LeGarrette Blount's passing-down replacement. The Rams are still in trouble if S-Jax goes down.

Given his injury history if Steven Jackson goes down I wouldn't be surprised to see cadillac right behind him on IR.

Speaking of gimpy RBs. Ryan Torain is already out with some kind of hand injury. Dude needs to load up on calcium or something.

I was very worried they'd finally nag Snelling. I thought he would have gotten snagged up right away but I guess he hasn't found the right fit or he's not a good fit for alot of teams?

It seems like everybody is viewing him as a hybrid FB. I'd like to bring him in for short yardage.

I really liked Hunter this year but I've also been going crazy for like 4-5 years for them to sign a big, bruising, automatic short-yardage guy. Snelling and Barber were my two favorite choices but I knew the Barber thing had no chance what so ever. And I know about the stats that have to do with Barber in short-yardage situations.

Baalke preached patience. I think it is time to bring him in Trent.
