So who else will refine their game some more during this off-season and coming summer? Jackson? Alvila? Allen? Zach Evans? Lake?
that’s probably what i’m most excited about. how these young players develop. sure they could regress. you can have injuries. but at least in the case of avila, young, nacua, turner, and williams, i don’t see any letdown in terms of work ethic or mental toughness or intelligence. they seem to draft some pretty high character guys. even in the case of older but still young guys like jackson i still see them getting better. they’re entering the prime years. dotson. i’d love to see him come back, but the rams have been successful in the past making similar acquisitions. there was that browns guard they traded for a couple years back who made a similar contribution. austin corbett. i’m sure the fo and staff have a list of guys they follow.
but if they have eleven picks i’m thinking they can draft a third wr to replace robinson. they still have atwell who regressed a little bit but looked much better than his rookie year. add a bunch of bodies at oline through draft, bargain fa, and trades and just see what develops. i read a tweet talking about how dotson regressed with hav out of the lineup and picked up again when he was back in the lineup which makes me wonder if he isn’t necessarily the difference maker he appears to be. regardless i have a lot more faith in the fo these days to make the right decision. although yes it’s possible they have some duds like robinson in the past.
Kupp really doesn’t seem to be a part of that now, going forward.
i don’t know. he’s still averaging 64.5 yards per game and he’s playing injured. part of me thinks he just needs an off-season to get his body right. it’s been a problem since preseason and he really hasn’t gotten the chance to get right. still over a 17 game season that’s still good for a 1000 yard season.
on the other hand this team hasn’t been shy about just getting rid of people when they don’t feel they are making this team better or if they see an opportunity to get some value out of him while they can. so could i see them trading kupp in the off-season for some draft picks? like a mid round pick. would that get them extra cap space? if so i could totally see them do that and draft another receiver and try to develop him. i would not put anything past mcsnead. they are ruthless.
i would just add about kyren. first of all i agree. it’s the vision and instincts and burst and decisiveness that standout about williams. and i agree he doesn’t have elite size and speed and strength. it’s probably why he’ll never have any one play that just jumps out like todd gurley would regularly break out. but he’s just so unbelievably consistent. like a metronome. and it makes this offense run so much smoother. gurley didn’t have that level of instinct and vision.
In some ways Williams is the most interesting/fun RB to watch/analyze in a long time.
yeah.

Most rushing YPG by an RB during Sean McVay’s tenure:
Todd Gurley – 89.4 (2018)
Kyren Williams – 89.0 (2023)
Todd Gurley – 87.0 (2017)
well it’s actually now 95.3 yards per game after yesterday.
