Well, I think you may have a good point, and I think McVey/Snead may agree, they did Draft a True FB, and I think a difference-maker in Sam Rogers!
And, in one of his pressers, Coach McVey said that Kromer see's things in the O-Line we have and/or brought in that he feels he can do things with! We'll see!!
Kromer told Snead as well. Going into the draft Kromer liked Jamon Brown,Wichmann,Robinson,better. They still have Saffold who The Rams expect good things from.
The Rams added an all pro type of LT , They really like what John Sullivan brings to the class room. Any Ram fan that doesn't see the improvement in The Offensive Line has not been paying attention. Donnal has 2 years of experience as well. They also have some young depth guys. This is a solid group.
I want go all in with them , but going back to topic on Gurley.He will be a willing blocker. Last year was just a horrible year all around. They seemed to be out coached all the time. (Players did quit on Fisher)
Corey Harkey has been a solid Ram player.last year they waited to give him a contract.He is a local guy. Did stuff for the community & I think got an award for best Ram player for doing so ? He just seems to not show up on the field well.
I think McVay is going to use a FB instead of an H- Back type like Harkey.Harkey does not catch the ball out of the backfield well.Seems awkward moving forward.
I think running play action is a good thing.It keeps teams from cheating. They have to account for the player coming out of the backfield.Will keep a cleaner pocket.
Robinson will do a better job on the edge.I really think Kromer is going to do wonders for him. Big Rob can get to the second level & has a great feel for run blocking . He has good hands but excellent arms.With his long arms he opens up bigger holes. I think the TE position has a lot up & that is McVay's baby.Higbee & Everett might be in sets together .
