Perfect. He’ll fit right in with our OL.

According to Football Outsiders we’ve got the worst OL in the NFL. That’s the kiss of death.

There are OL available via trade. Remains to be seen if the Rams can make a deal. I think they will land one or two of Edge, RB, OL.

If graded this far I can believe we're the worst. And our record is 500%.
We should be able to improve on that with some skilled players added and returning. Juat that may not get us another Lombardi, but we might make it through the season with some pride and enjoyable football.
Playoffs?, just ask the Madr, err, Padres about catching fire at the right time.

The solution isn’t to bring in a bust like Flowers. Continuity would be a good start, if we could manage to get through a few games without losing another OL to injury.

We are in need of a Guard.

Edwards had two Con and he is seeing a specialist,

plus he is out until week 10 if he passes all Con protocols

Second, I don't trust Oday one bite,

Third, Shelton is in the IR for an ankle, and is not available till week 9,

Plus I don't like him at Guard, he and Allen playing next to each other is too small.

Now our bench for guards are Kolone and Skura,

both small and really only should be centers.

The RAMs should go get Flowers. IMO



Just to add,
As I stated in the past,
I'm not big on PFF scores:

But looking at his grades as a starter:

Ereck Flowers:
2021/Wash/16gm/ 72
2020/Mia/14gm/ 65
2019/Wash/ 16gm/ 64
He has improved at his position each year.


Shelton:
2021/Rams/2gm/ 57.7
2022/Rams/4gm/ 49.9

Oday Aboushi:
2022/Rams/ 0gm/ 53
2021/LAC/ 5gm/ 68
2020/Det/ 8gm/ 66.6

Skura:
2021/ NYG/ 14gm/ 50.8
2020/Bal/ 12gm / 50
2019/Bal/ 11gm / 68.7
2017 to 2018 / 28gm/ 55

Kalone:
2022/Rams/2gm/ 36

Based off these scores,
Flowers is the best option compared to these other backups that we are throwing in there.

I hear ya 69. But, many teams need interior OL and he hasn’t moved. Now we don’t know why but it does give me pause. Is he outta shape, is his asking price too high? Or do teams think he is JAG?

Two names I really thought about, I would like to see the Rams sign, Eric Fisher or Julie'n Davenport, I believe that either one could help us out, to finish the season, at LT. Then we would move Alaric Jackson to one of the Guard spots, just to finish out the year.

If you do want a guard, Solomon Kindley is available, and could be signed. The kid is only 25 years old. Could be a good fit at RG.

I would agree on Eric Fisher, and if the RAMs FO could get both Fisher and Flowers,
I would do it in a heart beat, they are both experience.

Fisher, Flowers, Allen, AJax, RHav

I could see that being a dominant OL

I said, don't sleep on Solomon Kindley. He is a big man. He is 6'5" 335. He is 25. I feel with the right coach, he'll be a good fit. I remember watching him in Georgia, and I liked him. Just need to be given a chance. I'm also OK, with Ereck Flowers.
