Blake Corum is making a strong case for a larger role after two games. In Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants, both backs received exactly 12 carries; Williams finished with 85 yards while Corum recorded 79 yards and added 13 receiving yards. The source argues 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. 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 for running backs with 100+ carries, picking up where he left off averaging 6.0 yards per carry in the first two weeks of this season.
