Schefter: "Not a Lot of Optimism" on Tre Mason's Hamstring

[RamBill]

Tre Mason - RB - Rams
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports there's "not a lot of optimism" on Tre Mason's (hamstring) availability for Week 1 against the Seahawks.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the "outlook is grim." Mason will test his hamstring in pregame warmups, but he's unlikely to play. Benny Cunningham would be left as the starter and potential every-down back with Isaiah Pead following him on the depth chart. Cunningham is in the FLEX conversation.

Fuck. I got faith in Benny though.

 

[Mojo Ram]

freak. I got faith in Benny though.

Yeah i like our guys. As long as they get some blocking up front they'll get theirs.

I actually thought Pead looked better than Benny in preseason. Hopefully they both get carries.

There is this though

I have faith in Cunningham if he hits those holes the way he does on kickoffs he might just break a long one.

Quick is inactive as well...that is a major concern to me...he appears to be likely a total bust at this point and if he is physically unable to play it begs the question why the Rams have done so little to upgrade the WR talent pool...I have a bad feeling about this.

Sit him. It's week one. We'll need Tre at 100% for Pittsburgh.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Quick is inactive as well..

That's a surprise. Wow. ????

 

[A.J. Hicks]

Quick is a big surprise. I wonder if it has something to do with needing more bodies that can play special teams with Bennie needing to be full time runner.

 

[bskrilla]

I think the special teams angle is definitely a part of sitting Quick. Benny and Pead are both big special teamers and they're your #1 and 2 backs today. Quick isn't going to go tackle anyone so you need some extra ST'ers. Might as well sit the guy who's still working back from injury.

Hope to see a lot more of Chris Givens with Quick out. Hopefully he's really taken that gigantic leap we imagined.

Makes sense

 

[Rams43]

Welp... Today presents opportunities for both Pead and Givens.

Opportunities that would have seemed very unlikely for each just a few months ago.

Funny how things work out sometimes, huh?

I wish each all the best. The Rams really need big games from them today against the Seahawks.

Gulp...

Faith bro...just a lil faith...lets at least wait until the actual game b4 second guessing draft picks & decisions...I thought Quick looked very good in his 3rd year....I'm sure when he plays he'll look even better.

I look for TA to get some carries at rb today-----something we haven't shown in the ps.
