We'll see, Gurley will be facing 8 man fronts all year as the Rams literally don't run passing plays beyond 10 yards.

The oline looked great when it was primarily 1st team. Thereafter the oline looked horrible. We are still very thin on the oline

We best start winning. I reserve the right to hold my opinion until we've seen them in action against real teams. We very like haven't seen anything yet. It sure would have been nice to see a little though.

The Rams are so pleased with Jared Goff's progress they're making him the third string QB

ha ha, did anyone actually read that sbnation tripe?

He's also taken a battering behind a Rams offensive line that continues to struggle with pass protection, despite the presence of left tackle Greg Robinson, the second overall pick in 2014.

despite the presence of grob? goff has played a total of 7 snaps behind an oline that included robinson, which was 1 series against the chiefs, his primary left tackle throughout preseason has been all-world, 3rd on the depth chart, darrell williams...

Todd Gurley and Tavon Austin didn't play last night, but Goff's struggles have come with the starters as well as the backups.

what, what, what??? i defy this yo-yo to point to the snaps goff has played with what will be the opening day starters... such total tripe..

All this hate for Fisher. I get it that the guy has a pretty mediocre track record, but honestly I like the guy.

If the Rams go below .500 this year and I see some pretty clear coaching mistakes, maybe I'll join the haters.

the thing is you'll never see a preseason #2 or #3 oline unit during the regular season, so imo it's pretty hard to tell how good or bad these guys are... instead you'll have one of these guys join the 1s, maybe 2 guys, which is a far cry from them playing on an oline made up exclusively of 2s and 3s...

heck, goff's starting oline in the first preseason game consisted of lt williams, lg folkerts, c kush, rg reynolds, rt donnal... folkerts didn't even make it to the 4th preseason game and donnal, at least, may be a casualty by this weekend... anyway i think the rams have some depth, reynolds, rhaney, wichmann (assuming he hasn't won the starting job)... wichmann and reynolds came off the bench last season to fill in at guards for brown and saffold for the last 3rd of the season and did fine imo...

Fair enough.
I just cant believe we are here.
Goff had no chance, starting with OTA where Williams allegedly was throwing the book at him
And Goff had one series with Britt and the #1 oline and what happened? he drove right down for a TD

Nothing new under the fireball in the sky in this thread. The concern for most of us, ever since the blockbuster draft trade, has been can Fisher and his staff develop a QB? Given his last two OC selections it doesn't take a genius to think the offense may be stuck in neutral as long as Fisher holds the keys. Given the concerns about Fisher, flushing all those picks seemed foolish at the time, but the cards have been dealt and we'll just hope it works out for us.

Goff being third in line for the throne seems like a DEFCON 3 situation. The best player in the draft, whom we gave up a lot for, will probably never see the field this year. Plus, he'll probably never practice with the 1s this season. Hard to imagine a slower progression taking place to get Goff into the starting role.

If Goff doesn't pan out, at least the Rams didn't pay him Sam Bradford money.

That's a lot of draft picks to dump in the ol' port-o-potty.
