I said it in an earlier post.
The Rams have one of - if not THE - best one, two running back combos in the league.
That's why I was so frustrated when McVay kept passing on 65+% of downs.
Each of them is different, in their own way - which is precisely why they are so good together! I hope McVay learned something yesterday*
* of course, there are opponents who shut down the run very effectively. But, that doesn't mean you abandon it altogether.

I rewatched the Williams fumble. He got loose with the ball. He has improved greatly over last year and this year. He still needs to keep improving. Corum has been great at protecting the ball. I like the combo of these two sharing the RB load. Williams is better in the passing game. Corum has vision to cut outside and speed to break away as he did on the penalty long run.

To me, a TO is a TO.
Fumbling or throwing an interception makes no difference, and Matt is more prone to one than KW so far this season. and has been that way for the last few years.
Just sayin' ....... some people point out KW's fumbles and look the other way when it comes to Matt's picks.
Stafford forced that throw in traffic and it was behind Parkinson. That was a risky throw at best, and just a bad decision at worst., especially under the circumstances of not needing to force a play with that lead.
Stafford has made that exact type of play many times. It is what he does. He will always try and make that play. Park was open. Stafford's throw was a little behind and he zipped it in pretty hard for the distance. This year Stafford is not as accurate as he has been in the past but I don't think it is in his make up to pass up those plays.
We can ride Corum and Williams to the playoffs if McVay wants to really lean into the running game. With Nacua dealing with various things it would seem the way things are leaning.
The Rams will also need to be able to pass the ball effectively. Otherwise, opponenets ... especially the ones with good defenses will load-the-box to stop the run; and challenge the Rams to pass.
The Raiders are near the bottom on the League in rush yards allowed per-game; and average yards-per-rush.
i know there is a way for you guys to look up my earlier comments on the corum/williams debate....
im not gonna shy away from takes of the i think corum may be shiftier or has more breakaway potential...
i've thought that since he was drafted...
and the statement by kyren about not being out there really justified my "mcvay dont really give a shit about what you think, it's the team that matters"...
damn i gotta respect that attitude...
and the proof was in the RB rotation we all saw... both guys were used...
and after the KW fumble, he's right back in there getting touches.... gotta respect that too... can't let him sit and stew...
but back to kw vs bc... i'm still tilting a little toward blake... sorry if you're offended... lol
but i have to admit, when you gotta have it... maybe kyren?
not so sure since the opponents seem to cue up for that too...maybe mix in play action?
anyway, we got a pretty good tandem, and in my book, this season is just beginning...
go rams

Corum is a really good looking back, but I don't trust him like I do KW in critical situations.
i'm not so sure i do either infinite...
i just think corum may be that occasional explosion we all want in our RB...
not so sure kyren is that guy...
and im not against giving blake the occasional "we gotta have this" run...
we won't know until mcvay is forced to show us...
but kyren is still my gotta have it guy... just mix in some play action to surprise me... lol

I don't think it was forced. The play design was for Parkinson to block the pass rusher and release. The rusher got on top of Stafford quickly right after Parkinson let him go. Stafford may have thrown it a bit hard, but it was catchable. If he didn't throw it would have been a sack. It could have even been a fumble. It's one of those plays were you can't control the bounce of the ball.
Edit: Video 11:20 good start..

Love Kyren and fully understand what he does, that being said Corum has a different gear and is an awesome complement to KW. These guys can keep each other fresh and Coach needs to take advantage.
True, but if you get Kyren and Corum rolling you make the pass game easier, especially with play-action.
Corum has a better burst and is more likely to rip off a long run. But Kyren is more versatile and has elite football IQ and vision. Man, if he was a better athlete he'd be a truly elite RB.
