November 22, 2022 at 4:08 pm #141787znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueThe Rams have released RB Darrell Henderson, OLB Justin Hollins and TE Kendall Blanton. Henderson and Hollins have been consistent starters for this team..Have mentioned before, including prior to start of season, that Rams hope for Kyren Williams when drafting him would be to at some point take over the Henderson role. Didn’t see an in-season cut coming, though..Rich Hammond@Rich_HammondFirst, I hope Darrell Henderson’s knee is OK. Second, those Rams draft classes from 2019-21, already trending in the wrong direction, take another hit..Cameron DaSilva@camdasilvaMaybe the Rams are doing Hendo right by waiving him now, knowing he wouldn’t play much the rest of the season or be re-signed in March. But, it’s still odd and surprising.November 22, 2022 at 5:09 pm #141789ZooeyModerator
What the hell is going on in the RB room?

November 22, 2022 at 5:41 pm #141793canadaramParticipantI wonder if Akers is annoyed. After all, he supposedly wanted out of Dodge a few weeks ago, and now Henderson is released.
November 23, 2022 at 1:16 pm #141798znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueCase Cookus (Case Cookus) and C Cole Toner were added to Rams practice squad.The Rams signing QB Case Cookus is a depth move. John Wolford has been injured (neck) and of course QB Matthew Stafford’s status still unknown. So, it should be QB Bryce Perkins taking the lead in practice this week ahead of trip to KC.November 23, 2022 at 9:12 pm #141804Billy_TParticipantHenderson is the Rams’ best runner, easily, IMO, and Hollins is a solid starter and good athlete for his size. Green Bay already grabbed Hollins off the waiver wire.
To me, these are inexplicable moves. They get nada for them. Unless I’m mistaken, the in-season release negates any chance for comp picks. It’s baffling, and the folks covering the team seem baffled too.
Are they really so loaded in the running back and linebacker rooms that they can afford to do this? Doesn’t appear so. They may be high on Williams, but he hasn’t proven a thing yet, and Hendo has. Henderson is also bigger, faster, quicker. Williams is pretty slow for a small back, at least on paper. Doesn’t have quicks, either. Note his ten-yard split and 3-cone.

McVay and company get a ton of slack due to last year. Can’t take that away from them or we fans. But they seem determined to stretch that slack to the limit.

November 23, 2022 at 9:20 pm #141806Billy_TParticipantFor comparison sake, thought I’d list Christian Watson’s metrics. Of course, the usual caveats: No pads, relatively ideal conditions, etc. How these guys play on Sundays is what counts, not their Combine or Pro Day stats.
But it’s at least a rough picture of potential athleticism. A blueprint of sorts:
6 ft 4+1⁄8 in
(1.93 m) 208 lb
(94 kg) 32+1⁄2 in
(0.83 m) 10+1⁄8 in
(0.26 m) 4.36 s 1.45 s 2.45 s 4.19 s 6.96 s 38.5 in
(0.98 m) 11 ft 4 in
(3.45 m) 18 repsAgain, I want the Rams to get faster, quicker, bigger, more athletic, across the board, with guys who can maximize that on Game Day.
November 24, 2022 at 11:02 am #141807Eternal RamnationParticipantPeople been wondering why Mcvay didn’t play Hendo more. He actually started against the Saints and asked out after 2 plays said he felt something in his knee. He couldn’t stay healthy enough to play. Rams also signed a center and qb with so many injuries they needed roster space and likely will make some more room
November 24, 2022 at 4:25 pm #141811znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueRams DL A’Shawn Robinson tore his meniscus and will need surgery. He is out for the season.…A'Shawn Robinson is out for the year with a torn meniscus. He needs surgery to repair the injury.
He'll be a free agent in March, so he may have played his last down in LA https://t.co/rADBKkRiK4

November 25, 2022 at 3:51 pm #141821znModeratorHoldenCantor@HoldenCantorSean McVay on if Bryce Perkins will start “you’ll see on Sunday” He also stated Perkins has been taking first team reps…
Sean McVay said Matthew Stafford played Sunday because they had specific levels of medical clearance + family decision. His current medical status, after leaving that game from a hit that caused leg numbness, is developing. So to me, the decision is simple https://t.co/A8C9Eqm1gY

November 25, 2022 at 3:55 pm #141823znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueMatthew Stafford, Brian Allen, Travin Howard OUT Sunday. Tyler Higbee, Ty Nsekhe, Matt Skura, Allen Robinson all questionable; McVay optimistic on all but Nsekhe who will be game-time decision. McVay said AJ Arcuri could step in at LT.November 25, 2022 at 3:58 pm #141824znModeratorAJ Arcuri could step in at LT.
If it happens that would be the 5th LOT this season. Noteboom Jackson Nsekhe Evans Arcuri (who’s a rookie).
5 LOTs! 😳 At least in the previous years when the Rams OL got armageddon-nuked, like in 2007 and 2008, Barron would never get hurt.
November 26, 2022 at 10:06 am #141833znModeratorStu Jackson@StuJRamsFriday injury updates from Sean McVay: Brian Allen, Travin Howard, A’Shawn Robinson and Matthew Stafford will be out vs. Chiefs. Tyler Higbee, Allen Robinson II, Matt Skura and Ty Nsekhe questionable. McVay said Nsekhe could come down to a gametime decision.November 26, 2022 at 4:05 pm #141835znModeratorLA Rams Transactions:
• Signed to Active Roster T A.J. Arcuri, RB Ronnie Rivers
• Activated, from Practice Squad TE Roger Carter, G Jeremiah Kolone
• Reserve/Injured DT A'Shawn Robinson— Los Angeles Rams (@RamsNFL) November 26, 2022
November 27, 2022 at 2:51 pm #141841znModeratorAllen Robinson is unlikely to play today against the Chiefs, so the Rams will be thin at wide receiver https://t.co/q663ZaKgkC
