While the Los Angeles Rams have consistently been one of the better rushing teams in the NFL since Sean McVay took over as head coach, one aspect of their ground game that has consistently caused fantasy football managers to pull their hair out is their commitment to a committee, with Blake Corum taking key snaps from starter Kyren Williams as a 1-2 punch.

Now granted, it's hard to imagine McVay or the Rams as a whole care too much about fans winning fake football games when they have real ones to deal with, but how does it feel for Williams and Corum to know that their individual numbers may not be called in a moment of need? Well, in an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Corum commented on just that, noting that he and Williams are friends and they both care more about LA's overall success than their individual production.

“Yeah, I think we want what's best for each other and what's best for the team. Obviously, as a competitor, you know, you want the ball in your hands, any chance that you can get, but also just knowing that, you know, it's always, you know, the team before myself, you know, it's, it's way before me, as you know, coach always says. And so, you know, we want what's best for each other and what's going to, you know, help elevate this team,” Corum said.

“And so, you know, when he's out there, you know, I'm cheering him on, you know, I'm wishing nothing but the best. I hope he, you know, breaks a lot of tackles, breaks that long one. So now I can go in and try to better that. And then if I better that, I know he's going to come in and try to better that. And, you know, it's like a healthy competitive nature that we have just in our running back room in general, you know, starting with, you know, what, you know, Coach Ron G always, you know, coaches us and teaches us, but, you know, it's definitely a healthy competitive relationship that we have. And we, we feed off each other, which, you know, helps the team.”

Would Corum appreciate becoming the top rusher for a team, putting up the sort of 1,000-yard seasons Williams already has on his resume? Absolutely, and when his contract comes up, he might have that chance, but for now, it's clear he's bought into the Rams' culture, and that's a wonderful thing as LA looks to get their season back on track.
