After an offseason focused on diversifying the Rams’ running back room, the team rewrote that narrative by having Kyren Williams control the majority of the running back snaps during Sunday night’s 26-20 loss to Detroit.

Of the 74 offensive plays the Rams ran, Williams was on the field for 67. Surprisingly, Ronnie Rivers finished second with seven and Blake Corum finished with zero snaps.

That’s right, rookie Corum didn’t play a single offensive snap despite being praised by coaches and players all offseason.

With Williams’ hold on the position cemented, one has to start questioning the thinking and logic of the Rams’ offensive coaching staff. There are already questions surrounding the effort to change Steve Avila’s position, along with their receiver rotations, but if the plan was to have Williams play the majority of the game and have Rivers be the backup, why was Corum sidelined for the entire preseason?

What did Rivers do to surpass Corum on the depth chart? Was Corum unprepared for Sunday night’s matchup? If so, why didn’t he see any playing time? Why were Zach Evans and Boston Scott so busy with all the preseason drills that they didn’t even make the team?

Williams’ commitment, while justified by his production, raises more questions than answers when it comes to the running back room.
