RB Lance Dunbar & LB Connor Barwin will visit Rams Today

[TheDYVKX]

Gotta stay on the field to get those opportunities. I understand what you're saying though, and McVay is looking to spread the field, but we also need consistency. jmo.

For sure. I think we'd get someone to compete with Dunbar for that role because of the injuries, or let Green compete for it. But I agree with you, we need consistency, so we need a backup plan to Dunbar in that case. I guess McVay just doesn't see Benny as a fit for the role he wants so I don't think he's even in the picture anymore

We don't have enough? He's a 30 year old RB with countless injuries... Don't think he'll get elite money. I mean, even Seattle gave LACY a contract before Charles.

They were talking today (SiriusNFL) about the free agent RBs left and basically said, they're not going to get signed until they come back to reality with their $. They're not going to get huge deals (or long term) and will probably be available this time next week too. Why give a 30, or 29 or 28 year old RB huge jack when you get a younger one in the draft, who can do the same things and costs less?

After seeing those Conner highlights....watching him run w/ Sproles......was pretty impressive. Yes, he was younger (Sproles has played on the same team last few years....) but Sproles still abuses LB on a regular basis. And if he can play near that leve, can give us another athlete on D. I would be all for the signing.

The dude is a player. 30? I don't care. He still moves quick. He's still strong as all get out. And he's a class citizen in the locker room and community. Sign him, yesterday!!!

Could be, but he let Zuerlein wait in the cold for awhile, ... although coach didn't bring in another K to examine.

Plus we still have Fassel, and the ST coach is pretty better at choosing his kicker than an offensive guy is. I think it was mostly just a negotiating hang up or a "let us worry about our other priorities, we'll get to you I promise" sort of thing.

Benny and the Rams just seem destined for a breakup entirely.

We already have one in Gurley

Ehhhhh. Maybe he could be there soon but I didn't see it

Showed great hands in college.Has been under utilized by the Fisher Circus.

Gurley is actually a pretty darn good Pass Catching Back.

Yep.Would never know it by the way he was used.

Can that tat be made into the L.A. skyline?

Benny Cunningham had as many receptions as Dunbar last season, and has more in his 4 years than Dunbar in his 5.

Because Lance barely played at all last year and tore his acl the year before. And I believe Benny catches a lot of screens which isn't the same as being a receiver out of the backfield IMO

Don't you think Austin might be able to fill a Dunbar role ?

I can agree with that. But Lance is exactly like what mcvay used out of the backfield in Washington

Sure, even with snow on the Angeles Forest as a background.

Have read some uninspiring things about Lance.
But of course McVay knows what he wants.In McSnead I trust.

Not sure to be honest with you. But if we sign Barwin and Groy, along with the 7 million for our rookie class, we have to be pretty tight against the cap. Maybe a cap guru can help us out here.

It could be a richter scale ie. Cal bound.

I wouldn't stress over anything though, all the FA's we've talked to, we've landed.
