  "account": "In the aftermath of the Rams' recent defeat to the previously 1-4 Cardinals, running back Kyren Williams expressed his frustration. In the locker room after the game, Williams admitted, \"Probably because I’m not out there.\" This prompted a conversation with coach Sean McVay, who confirmed, \"I have spoken to Kyren about it. He was emotional after the game.\" McVay, aware of Williams' passionate nature, clarified that Williams' comments reflected his desire to be a \"spark\" for the team. Despite any perceived frustration, McVay emphasized that Williams is a \"great leader\" and the team knows his intentions. The usage statistics revealed that Williams played 42 snaps, or 72% of the total workload, while Blake Corum had 16 snaps, or 28%. Over six games, Williams averaged 71% usage and 110 touches for 610 yards, while Corum had 27% usage and 56 touches for 314 yards.",
