Rams Nation we've got something crazy brewing in Los Angeles Shawn McVey just dropped a bombshell he's putting his star running back Kieran Williams on punt return Duty for the 2024 season are the Rams seriously risking their top rusher for a few extra touches stay tuned because this decision could either be a genius move or a massive gamble let's talk about this bold and honestly surprising decision by Rams head coach Sean on McVey on Tuesday McVey confirmed that Kiren Williams the team's starting running back will also serve as the punt returner this season now for a guy who was third in the entire league in rushing yards last year why would McVey want him risking injury on special teams McVey says it's another opportunity for him to get touches and impact the game and sure you want your best players making plays but come on this guy's been a beast on the ground over 1,000 rushing yards in just 12 games last season earning him a spot on the All Pro second team and a pro bowl nod and yet McVey is comfortable letting him return punts because he trusts rookie Blake Corum and Ronnie rivers to spell Williams when needed but here's the thing Williams has never proven himself as an effective returner in two seasons with the Rams he's only managed three punt returns for a measly 21 yds no touchdowns nothing flashy so why even consider this the risk seems way too high especially when you remember how the Rams rushing attack struggled when Williams was sidelined last year in those four games he missed the team averaged just over 94 rushing yards and scored a mere two touchdowns on the ground that's not going to cut it now let's talk about rivers and coral Rivers has been far from reliable in his two seasons with the Rams with just 150 rushing yards on 41 carries and zero touchdowns that's not the kind of production you want backing up your star Korum on the other hand brings some serious promise the rookie out of Michigan led the FBS in rushing touchdowns last year and was instrumental in the Wolverines winning a national title he's got the potential to be a GameChanger and maybe that's why McVey feels comfortable taking this risk if mcvey's plan pays off the Williams Korum Duo could be electric but let's be real this is a gamble the Rams are banking on Corum to step up and Williams to stay healthy if not this decision could haunt them all season long so what do you think Rams Fans is McVey onto something here or is he rolling the dice too hard V
