Akers coming to camp bigger this year. Is that a good thing?

Looks like he can hold on to the ball now.

I know he had fumble problems in the tampa playoff game, but he had just come back from not playing all season. I don't remember him having fumbleidas. I don't think that has been a problem.

If they're gonna surprise us and have a competitive season and playoff contention, Akers has to have a good season. They really need to take heat off of Stafford.

Without much of a running game and protection, he had tunnel vision for Kupp. Too much. Defenses will let Kupp have his 10 catches 100+ yards and a TD if no one else contributes.

Thats what seemed to happen last year. They need to get him spreading it around more. They can't do that without a legit run game and better protection.

The is great and all, but if he continues to miss holes it wont mater. I hope he improved his field vision as well

He led the NFL in rushing over the final 6 weeks of the season...his vision is fine

He looks great and sounds very motivated.

Big year incoming for Mr. Akers!

Fuck. Dude is definitely bigger! He’s going all in for a second contract and arguably this is the team to do with it out of the 32.

That being said I hope I’m more interested to see what the other RB’s do behind him regardless what Cam does this year.

I would like to see the Rams offer Akers a second contract, barring injury of course, his body doesn't have that many miles on it..
