I don’t need to research the stats for our Brown/Akers/Henderson trio vs Todd Gurley, do I?
When looking at the above comparisons at those 4 positions that many pundits feared would be huge net Ram losses, it seems clear that not only have the 4 former vets been replaced, but they have been improved upon.
Yeah, it’s only 2 games so far, but that’s the only data that we can go on.
Kudos to the Ram FO, coaches, and especially the players. Also, clearly the Rams brain trust correctly analyzed their position situations at OL, RB, edge, WR, and ILB then made the correct picks in the draft (without a 1st, mind you) and in FA.
Good times to be a Ram fan, don’t you think?
