    what does AI say about Kyren Williams? Highlight-bolds are my addition.

    AI Overview

    Kyren Williams has emerged as an elite, Pro Bowl-caliber running back for the Los Angeles Rams due to his exceptional vision, high-volume production, and relentless, “never-say-die” work ethic. Despite not having top-tier speed, his ability to read blocks, elite pass protection, and versatility in the receiving game make him a perfect fit for Sean McVay’s offense.

    Key reasons for his success include:

    Elite Vision and Instincts: Williams excels at finding lanes, navigating traffic, and maximizing yardage, often playing much larger than his 5-foot-9, 202-lb frame.

    Versatile “Do-It-All” Back: He is reliable in pass protection and a strong receiver, allowing him to be a three-down back.

    High Workload/Consistency: Williams has established himself as a high-volume workhorse, consistently producing top-tier fantasy and real-world results.

    Physicality: He is known for mental and physical toughness, often battling for extra yards.

    I don’t know who Al is, but he’s right. 🤓

    But as I read that, I thought about Steven Jackson who had all that plus size, plus speed. Imagine Jackson on this team. What % of their drives would end in points?

    Nick Emmanwori says beating the Rams felt bigger than the Super Bowl

    “Stafford’s a hell of a quarterback. McVay always got a hell of a plan… that game was different.”

    ***

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2026/02/18/rams-seahawks-nick-emmanwori-nfc-championship-super-bowl/88740625007/?taid=69960573c3409600017a3d58&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

    Seahawks star defensive back Nick Emmanwori admitted the NFC championship felt different. Being a rivalry game, a matchup between arguably the two best teams in football, it carried extra weight.

    Here’s what he said about that marquee matchup on Richard Sherman’s podcast.

    “It was just a different feeling. No disrespect to the Patriots or nothing like that. I don’t want to take nothing away from them, but that game – that game was, like, legit,” he said of the NFC Championship tilt. “You know how it is with the rivalries. The Rams, they come in, Stafford, he’s a hell of a quarterback. McVay always got a hell of a plan. That game was definitely different. It was a different type of game. It was live. I was in my zone. I was focused.”

    K Wms is doing well and I think that AI guy is right about his strengths, which the Rams know how to use. But of course at the same time, Kyren is on a team with a very good OL and top OL coach, and an elite qb who has seen everything and can make any throw. As we know, Jackson was without the OL and often without a qb, let alone one that was at Stafford’s level (Bulger wasn’t Stafford though he was more than good enough, but as we also know he got bulgerized behind those problem OLs).

    Anyway. A Jackson in his prime on the present Rams offense would make it one of the best offenses in all NFL history. I really believe that. That’s why I am working on time travel. It’s a tricky issue but I am making some progress I think.

    While I’m at it I will time jump Tony Horne too, who was both a great returner and great special teams gunner.

    While you’re at it, try nixing all that Rich Brooks nonsense too.

    from NFL Pro deep dive: Players you didn’t know were THIS efficient in 2025: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-pro-deep-dive-players-you-didn-t-know-were-this-efficient-in-2025

    Blake Corum
    Los Angeles Rams · RB

    While Kyren Williams is the guy in the Los Angeles backfield, the Rams utilized their 2024 third-round pick Blake Corum significantly more in his second season, and he was extremely efficient when his name was called. He more than tripled his production in 2025 (746 yards) compared to 2024 (207 yards) and went from zero touchdowns in his first year, to six in his second. Corum was so efficient in fact, that he led all running backs with 13.3 expected points added (EPA) on rushes and 0.09 EPA per carry. Among all running backs with at least 50 carries, he boasted 5.1 yards per carry (T-4th), a 15.9% explosive run rate (4th) and a 49.7% success rate (5th), per NFL Pro. As Corum’s efficiency skyrocketed, he helped boost the Rams from the 24th-ranked rushing offense in 2024 to 7th in 2025.

    The difference that I saw between 2024 and 2025 is that Corum learned how to run with his pads low, the transformation was successful.
