McVay's Tough Calls: Who Makes the Rams' Final Cut?
25 Aug
Summary
- Rams final roster cuts loom, with running back and offensive line positions highly contested.
- Ronnie Rivers is a contender due to his role as kick returner.
- A.J. Arcuri and Austin Blaske face competition despite preseason play.
As the Los Angeles Rams prepare for their final roster cuts on Sunday, the running back and offensive line positions present the most challenging decisions for coach Sean McVay. Fans have debated these spots intensely, with two running backs and two offensive linemen frequently absent from their projected 53-man rosters.
Ronnie Rivers is a notable candidate for a roster spot, primarily due to his value as the team's kick returner. While he has not played in the preseason, this 'protected player' treatment suggests McVay views him as crucial for the regular season. However, competition from other running backs like Jarquez Hunter, Dean Connors, or Jordan Waters could impact Rivers' final standing.
On the offensive line, Austin Blaske and A.J. Arcuri are in contention. Blaske played the entire last preseason game, while Arcuri, a veteran, has also seen significant preseason snaps. Both face a tough battle against expectations that David Quessenberry will secure a position, as Quessenberry has been sitting out preseason games.
