Stetson Bennett's mobility adds another element to Rams offense
Stetson Bennett used his legs to run for two touchdowns, something Sean McVay and the coaches have encouraged him to do.
The Los Angeles Rams are embracing quarterback mobility as a strategic addition to their offensive playbook. Despite Matthew Stafford's limited designed quarterback runs, backups Stetson Bennett and Ty Simpson are being encouraged to utilize their legs if presented with opportunities. Head coach Sean McVay has lauded Bennett's ability to make smart decisions and effectively use his legs, even when the play doesn't go as planned.
Bennett himself expressed his enjoyment of these runs, particularly in the red zone. The Rams emphasize the importance of having multiple tools at their disposal to maintain an edge in crucial situations. While the team is cautious about the risks associated with quarterback runs, McVay acknowledges the potential benefits and is open to exploring these concepts, should the need arise.
