Damarea Crockett. The Broncos cut him, and we saw what he could do against us.

I say we pick him up just because I love his name

If a FB were going to add balance to the offense like you're saying why wasn't one added? We added two fast WR's in the draft and FA. We added a fast WR converting him to TE. We added a fast RB not a plodder. Everything he's done and said leads to speed not a plodding RB.

He wanted to balance the offense because we were slow and pedestrian last year. We had one run over 40 yards and 2 at 40 (one was a WR). We added a fast RB. We were tied for 22nd in 40+ yard passes with 6. McVay adds Harris, TuTu and DJax.

I get it you want a FB and you think McVay said he wanted one but I've yet to see any moves from him indicating a FB is in his plans. You'd think he would have added one at some point but he keeps ignoring it. He let Brandin Cooks go and never replaced him, he slowed the offense down for 2020 and regretted it mightily to the tune of adding nothing but speed on both sides of the ball.

As I said, a FB would be used situationally, not in any way that would slow down our offense. And a HB/FB should possess an ability to succeed in short yardage situations and take some pressure off of our injury prone RB's. He could be a more useful #3 on the depth chart rather than a bench warmer. jmo.

I just get a kick out of it. Multiple people every year are dead set on us adding a FB. And every year, so far, we don't ever come close to doing it. One of these years we made add one. I just haven't seen anything in his offense or his play calling that would lead people to think he would use and take advantage of a FB.

McVay did throw us a curve ball his first draft, by drafting Sam Rodgers.

 

[RhodyRams]

Yeah the haters ruin the GDT threads, IMHO.

That's why I stay out of them

 

[Mojo Ram]

Sony Michel ran behind a FB quite a bit in NE it appears. He looked just as effective as a singleback...but there will be some adjustment there.

I've always used a FB in Madden just in case anyone cares.

But we need a well-hung member, bringin' the peace on the GDT!

Yes the only guy that didn't make the team from that draft. And he never drafted or signed another one as a free agent. Yet some how he's signalling to us he wants one without ever adding one? I don't get it.

 

[blackbart]

And Perkins was playing behind a scrub OL with no 1st team receiving talent…elusiveness buys time in the NFL for off schedule plays…I’m good with the decision to work with him.

Yeah that’s why guys like Vick have all those Super Bowl rings and they call him GOAT.

oh

Oh wait that’s not him.

causation =/= correlation

 

[BigRamFan]

Hell yeah! Is it weird that this is the only position I was concerned about today?

Why, yes, yes it is. [blue font]

 

[RamFan503]

He does not.

That would be practice squad anyway and he doesn't count against that either.

If McVay wants a FB, Ben Mason is on waivers.

If McVay wants a FB, Ben Mason is on waivers.

And was available in the draft for us.

 

[RamFan503]

Evans is a vested veteran so he won't have to go thru waivers. I think Anchrum would clear waivers because he's not ready to play and waiver claims must be added to the 53 roster.

As others have said, 4 accrued seasons = vested. Evans not vested.

 

[Riverumbbq]

If McVay wants a FB, Ben Mason is on waivers.

I brought it up here as soon as it was announced that he was being cut. I doubt it happens, although I'd certainly advocate for putting in a claim. I'm guessing the Ravens will pick him back up after he clears waivers, I don't believe he was given a single snap during the pre-season games, and he seems to be more in their long term plans after their current FB plays out his contract. jmo.

 

[Riverumbbq]

And was available in the draft for us.

Yes, but he rather unexpectedly went in the 5'th round after most media sites predicted him going in the 6'th or 7'th round.

Email your plays to McVay

This.

Would instantly become one of the ten greatest Ram names of all time.

Just imagine screaming his name in anger after a fumble... or in joy after a TD.

Les, go sign this guy for his name alone.

DAMAREA CROCKETT!!!
