I'm looking at this as a huge improvement on our kick coverage. He was great on ST.
For now it is practice squad. But that could be a conditioning/test-drive move. He was a FA. He knew there was opportunity here.
I honestly think they would have if they could have made the dollars work for Michel. There wasn’t a lot of fat in the salary cap bucket
Yeah, good question.
Michel didn’t EVER seem to be a McVay guy. I wonder what it was?
Would have preferred Michel, but Brown seems like a great addition. Glad they're getting the band back together.
Thomas went from looking like he may get some live snaps to waived /No Recall,
a strange couple of weeks.

Malcolm Brown was great for us in the past but I am curious if he still has any juice left. Perhaps we will find out soon enough
Malcolm Brown has a combined (6-year-old NFL career)330 rushing carries. I think he has a lot of rubber left on those tires.
I love MalcB, but his injury to carry ratio is stinky thus far in his career.
I seem to recall most were against the idea of re-signing Michel because the thought was that he would cost too much $$ (early estimates were in the 3-5 mill per range)
The prevailing thought IIRC was that RB's could be picked up late in the draft
Of course I didnt agree with that and had to suck it up when they drafted Kyren
Now had the Rams known he was going to be available for just about league minimum? I think he would have been re-signed
As for Brown? I'd be surprised if he gets off the PS but we'll see

I for one thought it was shortsighted to not bring back Michel. At this point, he would have been a better option than Akers. Mentally and physically Akers isn't the same RB after his injury. IMO both Akers and Lewis are underperforming this year. Akers isn't seeing the field as she needs to and is missing the holes blocking assignments.
Brown gives them a better short-yardage RB and his play was consistent. With Henderson at RB#1 gives them a reliable #2B RB until Williams can return. Brown isn't a breakaway threat, but he will get you tough yardage. Good signing at this point.

The problem isn't really them moving on from Michel though. It's refusing to see that keeping that element in the backfield is a good idea. They didn't even try to replace him.
