    if cam akers comes back healthy, wow.  that could be a game changer.  ranked 25th in rushing last year.

     

    if they could be in the top 10 rushing, how much more dangerous could this offense be?

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/14/rams-nfl-general-manager-rankings-mcvay-snead/?taid=62d11ea57b69640001999023&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    NBC Sports’ Patrick Daugherty ranked every general manager in the NFL, he lumped Snead and McVay together – and he put them at the top of the list. He ranked the Snead-McVay pairing as the best general manager in the league, ahead of Bill Belichick, Brandon Beane, Andy Reid/Brett Veach and John Lynch/Kyle Shanahan. So Snead and McVay weren’t the only GM-coach tandem on the list.

    Here’s what Daugherty wrote about McVay and Snead.

    The Rams’ most recent first-round pick was Jared Goff in 2016. The Rams’ most recent game was a Super Bowl victory. Bill Belichick stockpiles draft picks. You never know when a service academy long snapper might be available. Sean McVay and Les Snead pay premiums for established talent. The return on investment has been wildly lucrative despite the high upfront costs. 44 regular season victories in four years heading into last season. Three playoff wins. A conference title. The only thing missing was a Lombardi. McVay and Snead believed they were one player away so they went out and paid their usual price: Two first-rounders and a third for Matthew Stafford. And, oh yeah, Goff, too. The calculation was correct. Stafford made the plays Goff never could and the Rams added 12 regular season victories, four postseason triumphs and, yes, a Super Bowl to their five-year haul. There is room to improve. Of the draft picks the Rams do make, too many are Belichick-ian vanity projects. Tutu Atwell says hello. But as is the case in New England, these are small gripes. This is a group as adept at winning in the boardroom as it is on the field.

    Thought while watching this: Jordan Fuller & John Johnson are two of the most enjoyable people I’ve been around with the Rams. That one followed the other at the same position (and both thrived) is remarkably good fortune. A testament to them, as well as the scouting department.

    His signing came at an odd time, but A’Shawn Robinson was one of the best players in the second half and playoffs, recording 22 tackles and a sack in LA’s postseason run. He can be elite.

    [/spoiler]You know, I look at this at it makes me wonder. How much of this is the AD effect?

    I will be interested to see how SJD does for the Chargers this year.

    Would love to have Steven Jackson now. Or healthy Todd Gurley.

    We don’t know what we have in Akers yet, really, but I don’t think he is going to join the list of Rams greats at that position. Akers strikes me as a more powerful, less elusive Wendell Tyler. I do look forward to watching him this coming year, though. If he can be a good blocker as well as do the other things he does, he will be good enough. I just…man. Steven Jackson.
