This was pretty athletic....That's surprising to me. He's a good blocker and receiver, but he's nothing special as a runner. He gets what is blocked and runs hard, but he's not that athletic.

Kelly needs to learn how to block, or he won't see the field.This says to me that Kelly plays a bigger role in receiving next year.
Merged and changed the title to reflect current status.Sorry, this can be killed. Saw that it has been reported in the other thread.

He had some pretty good blocks in the game where he finally got some snaps IIRR. He may grow into the position but I doubt he takes a huge number of snaps unless Gurley's can't go at all.Kelly needs to learn how to block, or he won't see the field.
CJ was a better fit and offered a different look to the offense than when Gurley was in.
Which made the opposing defenses scramble and lanes would open.
CJ is a different style of runner which could have easily made playing Gurley and CJ in a 60/40 split, plausible and EFFICIENT.
Agreed to disagree.
I think if they do now it’ll be somebody late who also is a returner.CJ Anderson seems like a class act. Or did I miss something? Almost seems like the Rams will most definitely draft a RB now... in the later rounds. Personally, I don't think Justin Davis has it, but I do like John Kelly.
I don't disagree with your thoughts. I'm just saying this is what the Brown signing says to me.How so? Wouldn't it make more sense to sign a guy like CJ who's a better runner and lacks as a receiver if they were to increase Kelly's role?
I am a little shocked by those who don't like Brown. I really like his ability to hit the line with power and agility both up the middle and the edges.
Sounds like a medical condition or something.

well done rams. brown is a good, solid backup.
had an average of 4.9 ypc last season.
.
Over 43 carries - so a small sample size, to say the least.
For his career in 128 carries, he has averaged 4.0 ypc.
FWIW, the Rams as a team averaged 4.9 ypc, including QB kneel downs.
He is what he is - an okay runner, decent receiver, and a solid blocker in the backfield. He's also cheap, which matters given the lack of much cap space remaining.
Yeah, the Cowpie game was an aberration because we found tells for their defensive line. And Dak Prescott is awful. That was also important.CJ was completely shut down with that different look by the Saints and Patriots. The reason he was shutdown explains his success and failure last year = The offensive line's play......end of story, its probably why the Rams and everyone else are skipping on him as a Free Agent right now.
