We all knew this was the issue with Henderson. Dude is made of absolute glass. It's never been about his talent, it's his durability. And again, for the 2nd time this pre season he's hurt.

So...that’s 3 RBs hurt already. Forget about picking up a solid backup, we might need a starter. That could spell “trade.” Even if Henderson is ok, he’s getting banged up and the season hasn’t even started!

Would have been a HUUUUUUGEEEEE reach and waste of resources to draft a RB this year!

I'm all for selecting the best player available within reason, but using a 2nd or 3rd round selection on a RB after Akers finished his rookie season so strong and having selected Henderson the year before just doesn't seem reasonable at all.

Besides, that player would be just another player without the NFL experience many here seem to be clamoring for the Rams to obtain. And it's no guarantee that this drafted RB pans out. Could be a stud. Could be a bust.

The Rams had plenty of other needs prior to the Akers injury, spending another 2'nd round pick on a RB would have been correctly viewed as a luxury pick, and this at a time when 3/4's of this board was anticipating our drafting an Offensive Lineman. As it went, many went into melt-down mode when Tutu's name was first called, ... and if either Corbett or Allen are injured and miss valuable starts, a lot of people will be pointing fingers towards our draft. jmo.

Each time a RB goes down I feel bad for Stafford. The guy never had a good one in Detroit now he comes here and they all get knocked out. The new RB will need to quickly learn the system and at least one of the quartet needs to be able to block sometimes. Not in panic mode but I have have a shitty feeling about this.
