Looks like Conner will miss our game with a Knee.

Their Tackles look out as well.

And we are of course a much different team then when they spanked us an eternity ago.

Zona not playing well and we are.

Maybe we can squash the midget.

I would like to see Blake Corum get a chance to be the main RB against the Hawks, especially if we clinch this week. I'm not slamming Kyren, who has had an excellent year, but I think I'd like to see the Blake Show. I don't think there would be much of a drop off....

If nothing else, to recharge his legs for the playoffs. Kyren has logged a lot of touches in 2024.

  2. Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams) – 310 touches
  3. Josh Jacobs (Green Bay Packers) – 296 touches
  4. Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints) – 296 touches
  5. Robinson (Atlanta Falcons) – 291 touches
  6. Tony Pollard (Tennessee Titans) – 269 touches
  7. Derrick Henry (Baltimore Ravens) – 254 touches
  8. Najee Harris (Pittsburgh Steelers) – 252 touches
  9. James Conner (Arizona Cardinals) – 251 touches
  10. David Montgomery (Detroit Lions) – 248 touches

Corum is good, but Kyren seems more decisive plus he is more explosive through the hole. Also all of us have been clamoring for McVay to "Stick to the Run." he have given us what we have asked for.

That comes with 2 3/4 + years experience. I think Corum will get up to that level.

Both are very similar in needing a multitude of carries to get into their game rather than the change of pace Homerun type of backs.

I concur the more Corum carries the ball the better he gets. Been impressed with how Blake has grown and improved over the year especially in the pass game both catching the football and in pass protection too.

I think they should have Corum out there the first couple drives of the game. If he produces keep riding him in the game. If he doesn't make the switch and see how it goes. The Cards did a great job shutting down the run game one this season. They'll try to do the same and we'll see if the rams have an answer

Yes the moment they clinch they need to try to focus on Corum in the offense. That final game would be a great opportunity to get him a full load of carries and into good game shape for the playoffs.

If we can clinch the division I'd like to see them sit Kyren and give Corum 20 plus carries against the Seahawks. Would be nice to know if he gets better as he gets more touches. In college he had that quick explosiveness and elusive moves similar to Kyren. He's not bad right now but I haven't seen as much of it so far. We didn't think Kyren could be like that his rookie year. I think once Corum feels confident to let it flow naturally we will see more explosiveness out of him.

Really need to win this week to let Hav rest up next Sunday. Depending on severity I might even dress Hav but with plans of only going in if Noteboom proves incapable. Unclear how bad his shoulder is.

If we win on Saturday. Wonder what our starting oline will look like against the hawks?

Boom/Deditch/Jackson/??/McClendon

That's one turn style of an online. I almost feel bad for Jimmy G

We need more then a win to clinch. Namely, SheCocks need to lose tonight then a 4 games need to go our way. I think it's leaning more towards a showdown in week 18
