And dropped an easy one that would have been a huge gain, not a 53 yard fg miss, oh, and the costly fumble. He also could have been given a taunting call on both his TDs. Every time he fucking scores he acts like he's never been there before, childish shit we hate from other teams. I'm willing to sit him for a week to prove a fucking point, don't fumble the goddamn ball. If he loses another costly fumble this season, game deciding type, then show him the fucking door and roll with 2 higher draft choices. Stupid extension in my book, he had no leverage to sit out and the Rams simply paid him too early.
That "mental" error of holding onto the ball with 2 hands near the goal line should have been corrected last year, BEFORE we gave him a fucking new contract.
Keep Snead away from this team, owed over $20m the next 2 years and is NOT the same player he was in KC, he's washed as they go. If he was on the Rams this year we'd already be screaming for him to be benched.
I Realize your pissed but I like the signing.
What he brings to our offense is not easily replaceable.
The Rams didn’t extend KW because he fumbles at critical moments or because he can’t run away from defenders or because he can’t elude a DB in the open field.
They extended him because he’s been productive and a model teammate that fits exactly into the mold of the culture embedded here.
The Rams rewarded KW, thus reinforcing the culture and setting an example for other young players.
I agree that extending RB’s that aren’t elite is not a great idea, and wouldn’t have done it here, but I get why they did.
It’s not a back breaking contract so I just hope that if the opportunity presents itself to add a truly special RB…the Rams will pull the trigger on that.

Williams at the goal line had two hands on the ball, but took the one hand off the ball to balance himself and then the punchout occurred. Should always keep two hands on the ball under that circumstance. His fumbles have been killers.
Blake Corum did not fumble at Michigan, however, his fumble was because he took his eye off the ball. Corum has been very disappointing of late catching the football, he was able to do that at Michigan, but lately, not only has he dropped multiple catchable passes, but he has popped them up in the air and the Rams have been fortunate they have not been picked.
Jarquez Hunter has had issues with ball security in college, fumbling seven times on under 550 carries. So where do the Rams turn?

he was supposed to be able to catch the ball and take advantage, I see he has bricks for hands. not a good look so far into the season.

If Williams worked in a restaurant.
Yeah but if that server wasn’t working there then how would any people have been served in the first place?
Thats the logic used to excuse the fumbles
It would also, more importantly, demonstrate accountability for something that is unacceptable.
The reason I was very worried about his fumbles is because most of them have occurred when he is struggling to balance. When that happens he takes the ball off his rib and cannot contain it through contact. The reason that is concerning is because the way he can stay up through contact is a key part of his value as a runner. It is probably his greatest strength.
What he has to do is start putting two hands on it in those moments. That will be very hard to teach him as it is going against instinct, but ball security can be learned so I am hopeful.
However - I bet he learned after that.
He carried the rock 2,764 times with 23 fumbles.
ONE per every 120 carries....
Puka celebrates after each catch and got penalized for it and also had a dropped pass. Are we not extending him either?
2 TD's for Kyren on Thursday, without those scores 49ers blew them out
He signed a very friendly deal, was great for both sides
Rule of thumb in all sports is to try and re-sign your guys before they hit free agency
Kyren is on pace for another 15+ TD season, you dont let guys like that walk away. People talk about him being extended like they broke the bank. He's being paid like a backup TE
SJ also scored a 1 TD per 41 touches
Kyren is at 1 TD per 21 touches
So there's also that
