I love Sony's game but unfortunately McVay doesn't. His backs need to have pass game impact i.e. ability to catch and move in space, which actually makes sense since we can't open a fucking hole in most defensive fronts anyway.

I would definitely bring back Michel.
Neither Cam or Hendo and churn out the very difficult short yardage runs like Sony. It wasn't until we reestablished the run game that our offense got back the balance it needed last year.
Plus Sony is great at blitz pickup which the others aren't very consistent at.

I agree 100%.
Sony really paid off for the Rams in pass protection as well.
Picked up rushers all year long and saved a couple of huge plays in the playoff run.

Despite our top rbs being made of glass I hope Sony will be available if we do have to make that emergency call. Hoping we can have Akers and Hendy all season, but worried slightly
Agreed, and that's exactly why I loved having Sony. Seemed like Sony had a knack for churning out 2 or 3 yards even when there was nothing there. So instead of 2nd and 10, we'd have 2nd and 7.... we at least had the option of sticking with the run.since we can't open a fucking hole in most defensive fronts anyway.
I doubt we add Sony. He played well here, but he wasn’t a McVay favorite… as he quickly pivoted back to Henderson and Akers when healthy.
I do think RB4 remains an open roster spot, and Funk could be in trouble if someone hits the waiver wire we like.

Fuck, watching Sony tonight thinking about how we could use him right about now just like we could have the beginning of the season. smh
The more I watch the Gibbs kid from Bama, the more I drool about him being on our current squad. Does it all and has that burst we need. I'm not advocating taking a RB in the 2nd round, but damn
Les needs to find a back who McVay will put on the field. So one that has more passcatchy to him than Michel. If he can do that without giving up the 2nd rounder then he can use that for an edge boost or just go with what we have defensively and use that pick for a young playmaker.
I think if they can solve RB this offense will be enormously better. But of course they will be all over the edge market as well so it's going to be tough to find both midseason. I'd already rule that out in fact if we didn't have Snead/McVay but they have taught me to never underestimate them.
