Darrell Henderson's college coach raves about RB's fit with Rams

[LA_Rams_#29]

What about Kelly?

Kelly is our 3rd string RB...… Henderson Return guy and 4th string RB.... we kept 4 RBs all year.... basically Henderson replaces Justin Davis..... and if TG is limited..we have 3 RBs with different styles and lots of upside

Has Brown signed his offer sheet? If not they Rams could rescind the offer.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Yes. Including RB he can contribute right away.

Not if that report is accurate. They didn’t play back ups last year because they couldn’t pass protect.

This says a lot about Gurley’s health. We draft a RB in the 2nd and match the Lions offer sheet for Brown.

The offer sheet was dirt cheap. They had tendered him at $2.1 million - Brown's cap hit this season is $2.125 million. But his cap hit in year two is only $1.15 million, dirt cheap for a vet backup who is versatile and knows the system. That means nothing about Gurley. But yes, trading up into the top of the third for a RB - even a nice one like Henderson - says a lot.

This guy is a beast.

I've watched him play against UCF throughout his college career and damn near beat the Knights all by himself. Thank God this guy is on our side now.

Our RB stable is stocked with some serious thoroughbreds now.

This scares me ...wtf is going on with TG?

I agree, this pick really makes me worried about TG. There's alot of smoke.

I'm confused do we not want to keep Gurley fresh? Did we not noticed how great it was having 2 good RB in the playoffs vs Dallas?

I know this brings a lot of question marks about Gurley but having a depth chart of RBs with diverse skillsets really goes a long way with the run game.

 

[FaulkSF]

Why resign brown? There is something they are not telling us .

Blitz pick up. That's why.

 

[“Turbo set!”]

Love the pick. RBs get beat up and fall to the wayside. A stable is needed.

 

[BonifayRam]

that's the main thing…. he's a home run return guy... that gives us 3 solid young back up running backs...all do different things.....

Who are the three solid RB's?

 

[Mojo Ram]

Averaged 8.9 yards per carry over last 344 attempts

I mean...

 

[fearsomefour]

Depth. And future insurance.

Is future 2024 or around October?

I honestly don't think there's anything to worry about with Gurley... We all knew about his arthritis and knee issues... It doesn't mean he can't play anymore... it's just about load management.

He will still be ELITE on the field... the Coaching Staff just probably wants to do a 60/40 split... to keep their playmaker fresh.

And if we get another playmaker... like Henderson... Gurley + Henderson would be an awesome duo.

 

[InnovatedMind]

Brown is our back up RB... Henderson is gonna be a return guy...and a speed change of pace back..

Henderson will overtake Brown as the #2. You heard it here first, folks.

 

[rams1fan]

Personally I don't think you spend two 3rd round picks to get a 3rd stringer. I think they project Henderson as a time share with Gurley,

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

Henderson will overtake Brown as the #2. You heard it here first, folks.

they're 2 different backs.... I'm not really seeing an every down between the tackles back in Henderson...but we don't need him to be that anytime soon...

Some positions have starters and backups in case of injuries. Other positions have rotations. RB is becoming the later more and more and that will certainly be the case for us goi g forward.
