Yahoo Sports NFL on Blake Corum
From the article
Corum's combination of acceleration, agility and elusiveness gives the Rams another dimension. He has the ability to make the first defender miss and turn a relatively small crease into a chunk play.
STACKED’s take
Corum's explosiveness and elusiveness warrant larger early-down role over Williams.
After two games, Corum is making a strong case for a larger role in the Rams backfield. Against the Giants, he matched starter Kyren Williams with 12 carries, recording 79 yards and 13 receiving yards. The source argues Corum's combination of acceleration, agility, and elusiveness gives the Rams another dimension; he can make the first defender miss and turn small creases into chunk plays. Corum averaged 6.6 yards per carry against New York with an 18-yard long run, and was top 5 in the NFL in yards per carry last season (100+ carries) at 6.0 yards per carry through the first two weeks of this season. The source recommends Corum be used on first and second downs as the primary early-down back, with his elusiveness maximized through screen-game opportunities.
