As a nod towards Coliseum Ram's new jersey, here's a kudos to Kyren.

First, what a freaking run for the GW TD!!!!!!!.........

He's #23 in the NFL in receptions (21).****
He's #22 in rushing attempts (54)
He's #12 in the NFL in rushing (294)
He's #10 (tied) in rushing TDs (3)
He's #11 (tied) in total TDs (4)

He's doing it again!!!!

And what's up with Corum. 13 snaps vs Philly. I know he showed (again) he's got hands like Roberto Duran and dropped a pass (or was it two?). But he's rushed 33 times for 162 yards to Kyren's 54-294. That's not bad but this was the year he was supposed to get more carries to get closer to Kyren. Not the case at all. He's getting less. You gotta catch when it hits your hands. I hope Corum gets more chances but I'm thankful we have Kyren.

***EDIT: I forgot to add, he's #2 in targets on the team. Glad they're getting him for involved in the passing game.

Feels like they are going for 2/3 | 1/3 or something like that. There may be games where it is closer to 50/50 depending on flow and feel. At times Corum almost feels like the more dangerous back but that certainly wasn't the case against the Eagles. Kyren just seems to have that - I want it more - personality out there. His edge over Corum feels more mental than physical if that makes sense.

Rams seem to go with the hot hand. Kyren has definitely been the hot hand as of late. Maybe that's what has cut into what would have been more use of Corum.

Another thing I omitted from the original post is Kyren is #5 in the NFL in yards per rush, 5.4.

Walker 6.2
Cook 6.0
Bijan 5.8
Warren 5.6
KYREN 5.4

Dude is a huge part of the Rams offense. The funny thing is Corum is #10 in the NFL (4.9).

Kyren is and has always been CLEARLY the better back. I don't get the fascination with trying to promote Blake. He has to earn it. Kyren, pound for pound is top 5.

Not trying to promote Blake. He's good, has great burst, is a lot quicker than Kyren but all Kyren does is make big plays at important times. Clearly the #1 back. But the Rams are a much better team when they're both breaking off chunk runs. Just don't throw Corum the ball because it could just as easily pop off his hands and into a defender's. It was said before the start of the season Ferguson could be the #3 WR and getting Kyren more involved in the passing game was important.

Kyren is a warrior, Corum is a player. McVay loves Kyren like Stafford.
Stafford, Kyren, Higbee, Nacua, Adams. Those are the DUDES in McVays mind.

ok ... so i've been a "we need to see a lot more blake corum" banterer... (is that a word?)

yes, i was on the more corum bandwagon...

but c'mon...

it's become the stafford versus whomever argument....

i'll take stafford anyday, when the shit hits the fan and we gotta have it, over anyone...

and the same goes for me in the kyren v corum debate... and believe me i needed convincing.. but no more....

kyren was worth the money i thought was ill spent...

give me stafford when we absolutely have to have it...

give me kyren when we absolutely have to have it...

and remember in the end, they're only human... but i'll take that bet, all day every day...

go rams

Me complaining again: I just wish our offense was more creative with personnel. Adding some unique player combinations in unique formations every now and then.

Two back set with both backs.

Using one of our two more athletic QB’s in some goal line situations.

Using trick plays like option passes etc

Going xtra jumbo in short yardage like other teams are doing.

Rams offenses have been highly successful but so vanilla.

Spice it up Sean!

I love Kyren and props to him helping the Rams break the iggles hearts and win this last game. But Kyren also leads the league in RB fumbles since 2023.

On some days Corum looks like he's being shot out of a gun. Others he looks like a plodder. Don't know why the discrepancy.

The fact that Corum has stone hands probably will be his undoing here. I don't see them extending him. On Sunday he had a deflection off his hands that was almost picked. Can't deal with that.

His rookie season he was like that,last season he showed a little more promise.
This season he has ressorted back to stone hands & catching it off his hands. I think maybe short arms plays a part,or muscle thickness.

The big difference is Kyren is better at finding holes or making holes. He wriggles through places Corum can't see. Corum against the Eagles couldn't find any room. Kyren didn't have much room but still had a good day running.

He's no worse than many other RBs in this league.

Playing Corum gives Kyren a breather and allows him to come back on to the field fresher.
It also seems to motivate Kyren.
Corum seems to get his yards per average by breaking a 15 or 20 yarder during the game while Kyren gets his
On basically 5 yards a carry, (almost guaranteed especially around the goal line).
Just a few thoughts and opinions.
