3 Rams questions for Week 3 preseason battle against Broncos

3. Can offensive line pave way for Henderson?

One week after only finishing with 13 rushing on six carries in a loss to the Oakland Raiders, Darrell Henderson put on a similar performance against the Dallas Cowboys by only seeing six carries for 16 yards.

However, the rookie running back did make up for in the receiving department in the loss to the Cowboys by hauling in six catches to show he can be used in multiple ways during his first NFL season.

With that being said, Henderson does deserve some benefit of the doubt for struggling in the ground game since the argument can be made his production would be much better with the actual offensive line instead of the backups.

Los Angeles never would have made the decision to use a third-round pick on Henderson back in April if they didn’t truly believe he was capable of being a difference maker on this offense while helping take some of the pressure off Todd Gurley as well.

Once again, it will be exciting to see if Henderson can finally break off a few big runs when taking on the Broncos, but also if the offensive line continues to make it difficult, there’s no reason to hit the panic button either.
