Pead was a bad draft pick. That's the root of the problem. Since drafting SJ 9 years ago, they drafted only 2 RBs in the top 4 rounds. Leonard and Pead. Leonard was a total bust in 2007. And now so is Pead. The only other RB they drafted in the top 6 rounds is Stacy, and he doesn't look like much so far.
The Rams are paying the price for not investing enough in drafting RBs and poor draft evaluation of the ones they picked.
unless we have adrian peterson in the back field, it doesn't matter who's back there with the way the run blocking has been the last 2 weeks
But pead a bust already? wow. not even played 20 games yet nor has he had a chance to start (for whatever reason)
It's because he's a head case,not for whatever reason. It's been pretty well documented.
This point can't be ignored I don't think. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Pead, Richardson, Stacy and Cunningham, the offensive line just isn't getting it done for Shottenheimer's game plan.
And to me this has been addressed via. free agency, but they really need to draft and develop the kind of OL players they need to run their scheme yesterday. If you can't protect your quarterback and you can't run the ball, you basically fail.
It really makes me wish they had just focused on the defensive side of things before building a veteran offensive line with no depth that can't support the run.
