Is Colby Parkinson going to the be the future of the Los Angeles Rams\u2019 tight end position? Or maybe something similar to what Tyler Higbee had been for the Rams over the course of his career? Higbee had some incredible highs with the Rams, including at times being a top-tight end in the league on a week-to-week basis, but is what Parkinson\u2019s been doing sustainable?<\/p>\n
Or should we expect Parkinson to fizzle out as other players step-up in bigger ways (Terrance Ferguson, anyone?)<\/p>\n

For a small comparison on a Wednesday (Hump Day) Higbee was drafted to the Rams (Parkinson was a Seattle Seahawks before joining the Rams), and if memory serves, Jeff Fisher was still the head coach when Higbee was added.<\/p>\n
Though it took Higbee time to become L.A.\u2019s consistent (and reliable) starting tight end, he\u2019s been with the team a long time. This is Parkinson\u2019s Year 2, so I suppose let\u2019s not jump to conclusion, then again, let\u2019s do exactly that: Jump to conclusions.<\/p>\n
Is Parkinson the future TE for the Rams, or will fans always say, \u201cHe never lived up to his contract?\u201d Maybe the truth lies in the middle.<\/p>\n
Alright, I\u2019ve rambled enough (I think this Thursday game is stressing me out). Please comment on whatever you want and have a great Wednesday! Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times!<\/p>\n

PS: Thank you all for yesterday\u2019s comments! I did not see them until later, but good discussion(s)! And some feedback! That\u2019s what we want!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s all about running the ball first,\u201d Parkinson said. \u201cAs a tight end room, that\u2019s really where we can make our mark, and that\u2019s what we take pride in. Run game and pass protection. If we do those things well, I think the Rams are going to be doing alright.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou can tell that tight end meeting room is having a lot of fun making contributions to this team and not just in the pass game, but blocking in the run game,\u201d general manager Les Snead said, while filling in on Monday\u2019s\u00a0Coach McVay Show.\u201c<\/p>\n \u201cOne very unique aspect of these uniforms is that they represent the connection to the 12s as the uniform includes a 12s patch as well as a 12 pattern in the jersey numbers. There are also soundwave patterns on the shoulder and pants that were made to represent the loudest fans in the NFL.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n For more information on the upcoming Thursday Night Football matchup vs. the L.A.

Turnovers certainly played a role in that game. But, so did play calling.\u00a0Rams running backs were gashing a Seattle defense<\/a>\u00a0that was focused on stopping the pass.<\/p>\n The Rams never adjusted.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Wide receiver Puka Nacua had a rare fumble for a turnover. The Rams defense surrendered more than 400+ yards, but few points. It was an ugly game that gave Seahawks fans enough reason to believe that Seattle could win the rematch.\u201c<\/p>\n Random Ramsdom Fandom:<\/p>\n
