8 LA Rams no-cost quick fixes needed to beat the formidable Buffalo Bills

(2) - Running back

The Rams offense boasts four running backs. One has seen action in one game. One has not seen any action. And a highly-touted rookie running back named Blake Corum is averaging just over 3.0 carries per game. Most of the heavy lifting in terms of running with the football this season is courtesy of RB Kyren Williams.

But Williams has fumbled five times already this season, and lost three of those fumbles. That is horrific, as he has not had a problem with ball security in the past. Therein lies the problem. The Rams tend to fixate on one player. Whether it's wide receiver Cooper Kupp or running back Kyren Williams, the pattern of sticking to the same players in the same situations is predictable enough to broadcast to the defense what is coming as soon as QB Matthew Stafford calls the play.

The offense changed things up by starting off running rookie RB Blake Corum against the New Orleans Saints. He rushed for 19 yards in his first two carries.

The offense has quite a bit of firepower. But this is not an offense that can simply muscle its way down the length of the football field. This team must toggle between physicality and deception, skill and strategy. The Rams passing game is far more effective with play-action passes, and play-action is far more effective with a sound rushing offense.

The team has to mix up the ball carriers. Even if only to give Corum the lion's share of the workload in a game or two. If the team keeps everyone healthy, everyone wins. Right now, the offense needs to do a better job of dispatching carries more evenly.
