Now I'm worried for Stafford's safety. Brown was adept at recognizing and picking up blitz'. Akers and Henderson were sorely lacking.

May our new #4 RB actually be a FB/HB. And i'll again nominate Michigan's Ben Mason ... A top blocker & Special Teams demon.

Interesting how a guy who has been a career backup a UDFA and now 28 has been sought after twice in free agency.

Was expected that he was gone. He was solid for us and a great teammate.

We're good at RB.

We relied on him too much which retarded the offense.

He's the very definition of backup. Solid guy but almost no breakaway big play ability.

After Gurleys first good game against the Cardinals, what were the odds that rookie UFA Malcolm Brown would be a Ram after first round pick Todd Gurley?

That is a skill that can be taught. And required for a starting back.

Kind of a catch 22 if you want the best RB on the field but the other guy picks up the blitz better.

Maybe Stafford's ability to be more mobile will make up for this difference.

WINNING!!!

I totally get the valid point brother.

There's only one way for a UDFA to do that, and that is to work his ass off.
And that's exactly what he did here.
Thank You and Congrats Malcom You have earned everything you have.

I am sure someone saw tape of him this past season, saw something they liked and snatched him up. He will be missed on this team.

How things change so quickly. With Brown gone, Only around 12 players from the 2018 Super Bowl team a few years ago remain on the team.
