Rams hosting FB Jason McKie

PrintThe St. Louis Rams will host former Chicago Bears fullback Jason McKie today, according to this report from Vaughn McClure (related to Troy?) of the Chicago Tribune.
Unlike Willie Parker who the Rams kicked the tires on as a potential backup for Steven Jackson, McKie does not fit that role. He's a fullback, a blocker, and we all know where those guys fit when Mike Martz is at the helm.
The Rams have FB Mike Karney, who signed a three-year contract last year as a free agent. An excellent blocker, Karney does have a bit of an injury history, missing two games last year and four the year before. Given that style of play, it's of little wonder. I wonder if the Rams are concerned about Karney's health?

well
its nice to have depth but i would much rather have a back up running back. But if this guy comes at the right price i wouldn’t mind seeing him in case something dreadful happens to karney.
yeah, I agree since
he brings nothing else to the table, so to speak. Not even good stats IMO, this is lateral when compared to our back-up RB’s. I think we should look to the draft for a back-up RB & not wait until the 7th rnd either.
I disagree. Anyone who can actually block should get a look
based on our blocking I take whatever we get
He wasn't much of a bloker last year.
If memory serves me correctly, he’s a very popular guy in the locker room (in the good way) but his play has diminished the last couple of years. His “strength” is blocking but he didn’t block very well last year either.
Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid.

i don't know
but don’t feed it and hopfully it goes away.
