Benny Fucking Skow

[Kupped]

I just want to give him a massive shoutout.

Dude is a FOOTBALL PLAYER... and I love the fact that he got to show he's got more juice than a lot of people on here thought. He's getting integrated and turning into a legitimate weapon in the offense.

Really, really fun to watch.

Just kidding. Great fucking game by Benny. Lot of guys got back on their feet in this win. Might not be a fan favorite but some players got right today.

What I saw was use of Skow as an effective safety valve for Stafford. Much more TE than WR. That seems like a viable plan.

SKo is the pass catching, bad ass blocking FB we've all been wanting for years, fkn love it!!!He is perfect foir this offense.

Another fine example of not writing a guy off after one bad play/missed catch. He's been a huge cog in the offense the last two weeks. McVay and Stafford need to be on their A game next week and using this guy could be something huge in keeping the Whiners off balance.

Some great images up this week on the Rams site.

Welp, I'm eating crow a little bit. Benny Skow is doing well and I'm glad we have him....Tutu on the otherhand...

In year two Benny Skow has become a versatile part of the Rams offense that allows him to lineup all over the field. Few players are able to do that in the McVay offense. His smartness and physicality are the key. Some great blocking from a WR lining up as a FB. Defenses now have to account for him.

He's won me over! He's light years away from that sloppy interception in the SB

What did I tell y'all about Skow? Look at his massive improvement in year two. You can't really throw rookie players under the bus for bad plays; they are rookies, after all.

And they got him as an HB/WR combo, which is what I've been telling them to do since we drafted him. He's physical, smart, a solid route runner with underrated hands.

Skow is an example of why I don’t fret too much about a missed pick like Tutu.

Don’t get me wrong… I would greatly prefer they don’t waste second round picks… I’m just saying I look at the whole draft & UDFAs.

Like.. Alaric Jackson.. win.

I’m disappointed in Rochell from that class.. but it’s looking like a solid class.

Moving him to FB was a McVay master stroke

But he's taking reps from TuTu!

I know you were joking but Tutu was the other receiver on his side who cleared out the DBs for that first big catch and run Skow had. It's suboptimal for a second round pick, but if all he does is clear out guys so our 7th round picks get 20+ yards, I'll find a way to be okay with that.

they have found a way to use him creatively.

more mcvay genius and the kid doing well so far.

I hope the Rams brass reads this

Have been really happy to see Skow’s progression this year.

He obviously has a great handle on the offense for several different positions and packages and he is laying the wood on some of those blocks.

He looks smooth catching the ball and showed some decent speed after the catch on that long gain.

Hopefully they can continue to build on their success running the ball.
