The LA Rams drafted rookie RB Cam Akers to play, not watch. The 49ers couldn’t stop him. Now, the Rams need to stop holding him back.
The LA Rams talk about running back by committee, and so far that’s been fine. But the Rams are facing stiffer competition now, and the team has been running both veteran running backs Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown hard. It’s time to give the rookie running back, Cam Akers, the spotlight on this offense.
Since the bye week, it has been Akers who has dazzled on the ground.
