To me it's a toss up on whoever gets hot, for however long he is out. Yeah it’ll be a hot hand situation. Rams haven’t thrown the ball to backs at all this year, im hoping they just grind it out with brown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjm76 769 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 If Gurley misses extended time, Henderson could easily be the better of him and Brown because he is more talented but I think that both backs would likely be used in a committee. Something like a 60-40 split. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have to be able to run it with 3 wides because they can't take Kupp off the field for long stretches. And they have bad run blockers up front in the middle. Something's gotta give. Either they have someone who is more effective at getting to the edge on those stretch runs or they work the screen game more often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

College game tape (not always relevant for the pro game, but by far the largest piece of visual evidence we have on either player) and draft status. You can cram all that up your piehole if Brown balls out or Hendo whiffs on some pass blocks or puts the ball on the turf of course. But yeah in a vacuum given the information we have I would say Henderson is the more physically gifted player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I guess if you're looking at player profiler you could determine that his measurable's are better in basically every category. I'm of the opinion though, it takes a lot more than workout metrics to be a productive NFL player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kball09 1,069 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Third down backs/receiving backs are going to look more dynamic and therefore more "talented" but I think all of us should be at the point where we realize trust of a coaching staff to be a well rounded back carries just as much weight as the skill of the player. Brown has that in spades and likely will for the forseeable future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not to say Hendo didn't face some week fronts (he did), but Brown wasn't playing Alabama and LSU every Saturday. I'd agree with you. We don't have enough information to make an intelligent comparison about their respective abilities as a potential NFL RB garnering a majority of their team's touches. However, NFL GMs have more information than us, and one traded up to take Henderson in the third round and none drafted Brown. That and $5 might buy you a cup of coffee, but that is where we are at. I certainly wouldn't automatically assume Brown is a shoe in to lead this team in touches if Gurley misses significant time though. I would probably bet on the opposite, gun to my head. But I could be wrong. That's why I have both. Edited October 11, 2019 by JE7HorseGod 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking M Brown is the greater part of a time share with D Henderson whose role starts small this week but grows with each game TG misses. Tough match up this week but M Brown looks like a solid to high end RB2 most weeks. Guessing Gurley comes back in the next week or two and M Brown is your average flex in those games as I doubt they give TG the snaps they did the last two weeks again. Betting TG misses more time again after he comes back from this whatever it is but hard to say when or how many games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NBatum88 2,187 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Felt like I overspent on Brown after week 1 (~30% of my faab) but looking back that might've been a season saving move Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IDK though, this whole thing is fishy. McVay didn't know about it til Monday? They have a week and a half and he's still out with a "contusion" on the same leg he's had trouble with since UGA? This doesn't feel right to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully not to the bone. These guys play with bumps and bruises all the time, so it must be somewhat serious if he's sitting out. Or he and the Rams are BS'ing and giving him extra rest so he lasts through the playoffs. Who knows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Timeshare written all over it. Sixteen touches since Week 1 and that's with an already limited Gurley. I believe 10 touches total to Woods/Cooks/Kupp. The Rams should be running more, but for some reason they haven't. They've elected to throw. Maybe he gets Gurley's touches, who knows. But if that gets split up, it will not be good. Edited October 11, 2019 by FitzMagic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Contemplating if I should flex him over Ridley or Sutton but that Niners D-line looks pretty good although they have faced some bad competition. Chubb did have over a 5+ YPC average last week.

ShowStopper 839 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 malcom brown seems to have been the guy behind gurley. henderson has seen what? two snaps? so all of a sudden gurley goes down we assume the guy who barely played behind the starter is going to leapfrog into the starting position? great logic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
