Malcom Brown gets offer sheet from Lions - Rams Match It

[1maGoh]

Went from having excellent depth at RB to razor thin with glass cannon Gurley. Hoping the #2 spot will at least be competitive and that John Kelly picks up the pace at pass protection

Wow. Calling him a glass cannon already? Seems premature and a bit harsh.

Didn’t he win the Super Bowl in 325 B.C.?

And who knows how many more had he lived past 32.

Riding a RB named Bucephalus

And who knows how many more had he lived past 32.

I thought that he went to multiple Pro Bowls as the Macedonia representative.

Not bagging on Gurley but the playing hurt reports are a cause of concern

Rams should be thinking RB1A - Gurley (65% play time) and RB1B - TBD (35%). This will be a 2-headed RB1A/RB1B monster going forward vs Gurley (90%) and a backup (10%). Who do we think can effectively carry 35% load for the duration of the season.

We're about to find out how much McVay likes Malcolm. For 1M GTD I'd bring him back. I wonder if they use this as a bargaining point with CJ??

 

[ReekofRams]

My guess is if we don’t match the offer for Brown then the Rams must be really confident of signing someone else who they consider to be an upgrade over Brown. If they’re not confident of bringing someone else in then they will match the offer for a Brown.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Give me either Brown or Anderson at #2, i actually prefer Brown....but i still feel that Kelly would be pretty damn good given some PT.

Even with Gurley healthy, this team needs to be 3 deep at running back.

1b
2a

Just in case Gurley has any set backs.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Oh and, I’m signing Brown.

2a = Kelly. Or are you wanting more?

If I were to guess they’re gauging what veterans they can get for the same price or lower and if that’s a better option than Brown.

Problem with Brown is he has not been used much yet he has missed significant time the last two year's. I believe he had some bagging injuries in college as well.

So how much do you want to committ to him as he needs to be available if you truely want to start to give Gurley more rest.

 

[Merlin]

My suspicion is that it has to do with CJ Anderson. They're probably trying to get him done, and if they think that won't happen at a number they like Brown becomes more of a possibility.
