If he took less money I wouldn't be quick to dismiss signing him. He is excellent after contact can catch and most of all he can block picking up a blitz not sure that isn't crucial with an offensive line that has many questions to answer. While Akers and Hendy can ease in. As far as brown I like the dude but he is an injury waiting to happen. Fournette makes sense for many reasons and for this type of season to put Akers out there with no preseason is asking a lot and Henderson is really known for blocking at all. I'd entertain it especially when Fournettesays it publicly that he would like to play for the Rams.

He had 1600 yards rushing and receiving with Minshew and Foles! If I could make him work cap wise, I would have put a claim in. I do trust Sean though when it comes to personnel.


I dont trust McVay with all personnel. Look at the Oline. Henderson is injured again, Brown gets injured every season. That leaves Akers, who is a rookie, and maybe Kelly who has not been able to crack the roster before and has never looked all that good. So, the running back by committee could end up being Akers. Not ideal.

McVay doesn’t make personnel decisions all by himself. Snead, Demoff and Mccay collaborate and involve the coordinators and position coaches if desired.

Games aren't won on paper but damn unless his arm turns to dust completely and I still think a corpse could complete passes to those guys but now Fournette. Smart move for both sides. We had a shot the dude said he wanted to play for the rams. We all know he can run and catch but his blocking and ability to run after contact is invaluable hope akers and Hendy kill it but poor Goff :-(

Perfect. He will be heavily utilized in the Bucs run game, which will do great for my fantasy points.

That's not good. Even though I wasn't on board for him to become a Ram I didn't want to see him go to a team the Rams play this year. It's better than the Hags getting him. Brady will use him out of the backfield. They have three very solid TEs, now they have three very solid running backs and of course at least 2 great WRs. The Bucs are loaded on offense.
