Well, there's also the possibility they find another way to score those touchdowns. Not something we can ever know for sure. I was always fine with him being the RB1 this year. I just question the extension. I think they should have waited till this season was over.
Unfortunately Corum had not developed into a replacement for Kyren partially because he still isn’t adept in pass protection which is essential when you have an immobile QB or as a pass receiver. Corum came from a run heavy college scheme that doesn’t always translate into the NFL. Last night’s fumble was a forced error because the defender used a peanut punch to jar the ball loose. Williams issue was he was running in traffic without having both hands on the ball. That’s a mental error that should be corrected by coaching. Despite the fumble the Rams offense is better and more dangerous with Williams running the ball than with the limited game Corum brings
I think it’s way too early to make that assessment. Knee jerk decisions rarely solve issues sbut can create worse ones. With the offensive line being so unreliable at this point exposing Stafford by taking away an element of pass protection would be an error that would cost more than one game. Rams need to improve and clean up their game on offense but they are still scoring points just not as efficient as they need to be in the red zone. Last night was a very poor showing by the defense.
It seems to me like the Rams draft defensive players better then offense. Should have drafted CB early.
With KW its not so much the number of fumbles, 1 is too many, but the timing of them. Especially last night, he has to know the whiners are going for the ball, use both arms on that ball inside.
He could run play action with Hunter in there if he's concerned Ds will key on Hunter if puts him in.
My first Rams jersey Lawrence McCutcheon, my buddies dad taught us how to hold the ball and not fumble, I think I was 9. He would pick me up off my feet but could not get that ball out, he would punch at it like you see in RB drills, never got it out. Maybe I should go visit KW and show him how its done lol.
Except you need a HB who understands the protections, can read the defense well enough to spot blitzers pre- and post-snap, and who is actually good in pass pro or else you risk getting your QB blown up.
Seriously? I'll admit that fumble had me pissed. That game was over if we scored right there. I firmly believe that Jones would have just folded if we went up a touchdown. I think Kyren has 7 fumbles since the 2023 season and that ranks among the highest active RB's in the NFL. I could be wrong, but I'm not going to look that shit up.
Always true and especially with our OL thus far this year. But I think the biggest hurdle with backs translating to the NFL is the give-a-F in terms of sticking your nose in there and taking on NFL backers at a full run. This rook strikes me as the kind of dude who that won't be a problem for, so I expect he won't take too long to get the protections down.
I would bench him for the Ravens game. If you fumble you get benched and can marinate in your juices on the pine for a week while you work on fumbling drills.
