Rams running back Kyren Williams had seen enough, and roars Rams back to lead

Never doubt the ability of LA Rams running back Kyren Williams. After the LA Rams offense appeared to be content to simply to show up in Week 6, the Rams offense had to use the halftime period to do a bit of soul-searching. After all, the Rams loaded up the offensive line with road graders, offensive linemen who were capable of blowing holes open. And yet, throughout the first half of Week 6, the Rams were content to put the offensive line on their heels and never give them a chance to beat the Arizona Cardinals to the punch.

And LA Rams featured running back Kyren Williams didn't like it. In fact, he was so pissed off that he made it a point to do something about it.

Why do you stick with the run? Because it works, that's why. You could rationalize all afternoon that the Rams cannot run the football, and if you took note of two runs for four yards in the first half, you would have had all the box scores evidence necessary to argue that the Rams can't run the football, so they shouldn't.

Why run the football? Let me count the ways

But running the football has many benefits. And in the Rams second half of Week 6, we can begin to discuss them.

When the Rams offense runs the football, momentum starts to build. In the first offensive possession of the second half, the Rams' offense sprang to life. The Rams were content to hand off the football to Kyren Williams on four consecutive plays, and Wiliams responded by gashing the Cardinals defense for 47 yards.

The Rams flipped to RB Ronnie Rivers for two running plays, who continued to pound the Cardinals' defense for eight yards. Williams returned and ran two more times for five yards. That set up the Rams to pass to WR Cooper Kupp for a touchdown.

On the ensuing Cardinals possession, the Rams defense held the Cardinals offense to just three yards on three plays, forcing a punt.

The game is still underway and with the Cardinals driving to the Rams 12 yard line to open the fourth quarter, this one could go either way. But one thing is certain. The Rams have proved to fans that they can and must run the football.

At the end of three quarters of play, RB Kyren Williams has 14 runs for 108 yards. That ought to prove the point that this Rams offense has got to be more serious about running the football.

Let's hope that Rams HC Sean McVay was paying attention as well.
