Tomorrow will be Zac Stacey's 1st start of his career... I feel like it will be a very big opportunity for him to make his claim as the starter going forward...
Any thoughts?

My only thought is that i'm interested to see how this all shakes out. See if the Rams can use a week to focus on something and actually show measurable gains in the following game.
We think, and Fisher has stated that we're going to place an increased emphasis on establishing the running game. However, this is the Rams so it wouldnt suprise me to see Zac get 8 carries and we pass the ball 54 times.

No offense to Stacy but im a Pead fan and these past 2 weeks are killing me. Inactive last week and not starting this week, yes he's probly in the doghouse and I take this as a sign Pead isn't going to be a Ram for much longer.

that Pead has really blown away his chances, and that's to bad. With Quick being so slow to develop, that's two regrettable choicesRam4life11 said:

Well, I was high on Stacy in the off season and have been waiting for him to get a chance but what worries me is he gets only a couple carries here and there and that's not a recipe for success with him. He is a workhorse type of back that gets better and better with more carries in a game. His value shows up on around carry 20 and I don't think this team is playing good enough right now to let anyone get that many carries so I'm reserved in my optimism today.
I don't think our issues have been the RBs as much as its been the run blocking. I personally didn't see holes for DR to run through that he was missing. We have to fix the line issues to fix the run game. Hopefully Stacy gives a nice spark today and the line opens holes for him- which will then open up the offense.

I tend to agree with you; not much running room.
But thats where a guy like Stacy has an advantage; he can muscle through arm tackles... something the smaller backs would have trouble with.
I really like Zac Stacy's running style! I hope he gets the chance to show it off today!
I also would like to see Corey Harkey starting over Lance Kendricks, Harkey is far superior at blocking. Stacy & Pead IMO might be the right combination. Stacy can pound up the middle, Pead can bounce it outside plus Pead catches the ball well too.
Both Stacy & Pead are far better in pass protection than Richardson & Cunningham and that was my knock on Richardson coming into this season. Let's hope that Stacy gives us some hope, but I still hope the Rams draft Carlos Hyde next year.

During last Thursday game it was funny.. My Misses, who is somewhat new to football asked, "Why do they keep running that little guy (DR) up the middle when there's nowhere for him to go?"
You can also look at the play selection here. Play to your strengths. Nothing up the middle, then bounce DR outside? As Albert Einstein said, "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
