Lance Dunbar

[Legatron4]

Where does he fit in our offense? Gurley is already so good out of the backfield.

 

[Adi]

This is tough, I was excited about this addition in the off-season but not sure how he fits now . Brown has also been running well and looks like a good back up

 

[DaveFan'51]

A really good question! were does he fit in? Brown has been great in relief and blocking! I'm sure McVay will be asked about this.

 

[Checkmate]

This sounds like a good problem to have. I would rather have too many weapons thsn not enough. This is a welcomed change

 

[dieterbrock]

Well Justin Davis gets cut and goes to practice squad and then it’s a question of if he will be active on game days.
Brown has been great so I’m not sure where he fits.

[Ramstien]

In one season the Rams went from not having enough weapons to having an embarrassment of riches in that area. I'm sure McVay will find a way to get him some touches.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I think Dunbar was intended to make Tavon expendable to possibly facilitate a trade. Tavon's early injury combined with Dunbar's absence has thrown a wrench into the plan.

 

[SteezyEndo]

I just want to see how Dunbar plays with this offense. We will see if it was worth the wait.

 

[MadGoat]

Dunbar has the best hands of any back on the team. He doesn't offer Gurley's speed and explosiveness after the catch, but he does offer a few more options as a route runner. He's also a good pass blocker. Going into the season those were two areas that it seemed the Rams really needed. With Gurley's passing game improvements, it seems like Dunbar's main roles will be to give Gurley an occasional break on 3rd down and to offer a different look as a receiver. He used to play special teams. I'm not sure if that will still be the case.

Rams might need Dunbar in 2 wks going up against the poor pass defense of the Texans. Rams made not need to run or pound the ball with Gurley & Brown but just throw it.

Hope you are not sleeping on the Giants.
And a former Ram DB (as well as HC) would beg to differ on the quality of their pass defense.

I am sure that JJ would love to prove himself against his former teammates & the Ram team who let him depart. I expect a season best performance from JJ.

I do not expect an easy game in the cold damp NE this weekend. I would hope that we can slip by without injuries but the way the Seattle is improving a loss to the G men might be more severe than most all think.

You should know me by now that I am a proven Ram fan who has yet to really consume much of the Ram kool-aid. Over a decade of Ram season letdowns has trained & programed me well as of late. I find it hard to be confident in the Rams to win overall.

He is 1 guy...With the explosiveness the Rams are playing with. I think JJ is going to be overwhelmed and gassed by the 3rd qtr.

 

[LACHAMP46]

Trade deadline today? or tomorrow? I'd be looking for his name on the news.

Current weather forecast is for 60 degrees in NY on Sunday. Not too bad.
Although winning on the road, it has been indoors in Indy, in Texas and Jacksonville (warm) and in London against another warm weather team.
They have not had to face the elements yet. They certainly have something to prove here.

Lots of very good signs of Rams improvement, that said, each week they will have to come to play to get a W.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Split backs formations with gurley in third and long?

Why not. I don't see much need for him. Brown has stepped up and Gurley is catching the ball.

Davis will get cut and probably get a PS spot.
Dunbar injury was a blessing for him to get a 53 spot

I had to look up to see if Davis has been activated. Looks like two games. I guess the Rams have been going with 2 RBs and Tavon as an emergency RB.

Do they activate Dunbar and sit someone else? I can't see them sitting Brown.
