Re: Seriously, Does Anyone Have Any Insight on The Rams' Infatuation With Short RBs?

If that's what he wants, that's not what he's getting. Unless this new bowling ball (5'8" and over 200#?) is a thumper inside, we still don't have that tough yardage back who can get yards that aren't there.

Kyren was a pleasant surprise last year; he can get low and find a crease but that's not the same as being big and strong enough to push a pile or simply truck somebody who's in the way when there's no room to make a cut.

McVay wants backs who are capable of doing all that his system asks; run the same plays the same ways, pass protect, catch out of the backfield. He apparently doesn't value having a tough yardage spcialist who is a thumper, a grinder.

Maybe, if he can be coached to wrap his short arms around a football, that's a role for Fiske.

  Our own MJD was a short, powerful runner...

  Barry Sanders was pretty good - he was 5' 8" / 203 lbs. - same as Corum
