Joe Curley@vcsjoecurleySean McVay gave a pretty complete update on the Rams' running back room today (see replies):
"I think what Todd (Gurley) did was he showed why he’s a complete back and to take him off the field, he better be pretty tired. Now you want to be smart about that. But there’s a reason why he was able to have all that success...
"And you can’t say enough about the consistency at which Malcolm Brown performed when he got his opportunity. You’ve got two guys in that room that have performed.”
"When you look at what Justin (Davis) was able to put on tape last year in the preseason, in terms of the excitement, as he continues to mature, take better care of the football, be more productive in protection, we’re excited about him."
McVay called rookie John Kelly "a physical, violent downhill runner who did a lot of good things at Tennessee... John’s going to have a chance to come in and compete.”
The Rams have been awarded RB Larry Rose on waivers from Tennessee, the team announces. Rookie out of New Mexico State who signed with Titans as a UDFA and was cut after their rookie camp last week.
The Rams 90-man roster is now at.... 90 men.
QB Luis Perez, who earned a spot on the team over the weekend at the Rams' tryout camp. is another Rams UEFA signing who did not play varsity football in high school.
McVay on Perez: “Everybody that I’ve talked to really can’t say enough about the human being. But then when you just watch him in terms of natural base, balance, body position to deliver the ball, he earned the right to be able to be on this team."
"You can see he’s got a command and a nice presence about himself."
