Is Colby Parkinson going to the be the future of the Los Angeles Rams’ 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’s been doing sustainable?
Or should we expect Parkinson to fizzle out as other players step-up in bigger ways (Terrance Ferguson, anyone?)
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.
Though it took Higbee time to become L.A.’s consistent (and reliable) starting tight end, he’s been with the team a long time. This is Parkinson’s Year 2, so I suppose let’s not jump to conclusion, then again, let’s do exactly that: Jump to conclusions.
Is Parkinson the future TE for the Rams, or will fans always say, “He never lived up to his contract?” Maybe the truth lies in the middle.
Alright, I’ve 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!

“It’s all about running the ball first,” Parkinson said. “As a tight end room, that’s really where we can make our mark, and that’s 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.”
“You 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,” general manager Les Snead said, while filling in on Monday’s Coach McVay Show.“

Rams rival is flirting with disaster by trying to curtail Sam Darnold’s INTs (ramblinfan)
“By the end of the game, Seahawks fans pointed to quarterback Sam Darnold’s four interceptions as the sole reason for the loss. Turnovers certainly played a role in that game. But, so did play calling. Rams running backs were gashing a Seattle defense that was focused on stopping the pass.
The Rams never adjusted.
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.“
