"bullshit" "beavis"....chimes in the other Eastern Time Zone guy who sees it his duty to instruct other RFU guys how to post.

Like I say to our labor lawyers who suggest dumb strategies up here dealing with our Unions:
Hey legalbeagle, fuck off with that shit already!

What a pathetic response.

Of course, that's all you have, as you know I'm right.

Okay, back to attacking the post and not the poster...

[CanuckRightWinger]

Your techniques of denial are what's pathetic.
Some RFU guys here raised questions about the Ram 2022 OL talent level....referring back to the Creed Humphrey botched pick for sure....and some even suggested bringing in UFA OG Erick Flowers prior to our debacle versus Buffalo. Look it up.

Deny all you want. There was discussion here on the Ram OL prior to the season opener. There are enough guys here who know the real score, so I'm not worried about your lame labels.

and screw yer "decaf"....Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glenross:
"Coffee is for closers!"

Sort of odd that you would call out PA as if he was the first one to call out individual posters. Maybe you should read the whole thread before you point fingers.

Ahh, the old "but he started it, mom" response. I did read the whole thread brother and the 50 others where you guys act like children.

And you're supposed to be a MOD? Aren't you supposed to be held to a higher standard? Just curious.

All the "childish in-fighting" really brings this board down and that disappoints me because I really enjoy coming here. I come here for Rams news and opinions. Not to spend an hour going through all the childish bull shit.

Not trying to be a dick or piss anyone off. There are a lot of great posters here. We all deserve better than that.

Now, will this post be deleted for me speaking my mind? We'll see.

Maybe read the post above yours.

As for the 2022 line. Injuries took away our opportunity to ever know how good or bad it would have been.

And as other have pointed out, no amount of depth could account for the amount of injuries the Rams oline has suffered.

Teams don't go 3 deep at Oline, roster sizes won't allow it. That's how you end up with a PS guy like Kolone at center if your top 2 guys go down.

Of the 8 guys the Rams figured on dressing game days, 6 suffered significant injury. That's way past what any team prepares for.

Yet here they are, doing their best to work through it...

+1000 no team is prepared to handle as many injuries to one group as we have. Unfortunately the OL might be the most important group that needs to stay healthy to have a successful year.

Last call. Any more posts that are personal get deleted. It's over.

Thank you Elvis. I am sure lots of people will be happy about that. Now...back to Rams football!

Here's how I evaluated the OL after the Super Bowl win:

Offensive Line
Signed: Andrew Whitworth, Rob Havenstein, David Edwards, Bobby Evans, Tremayne Anchrum, Alaric Jackson
Free Agents: Brian Allen (U), Austin Corbett (U), Joe Noteboom (U), Coleman Shelton (R)
So much to unpack here. The first question is whether Big Whit retires. I suspect he will, but we're still waiting on a formal announcement. If he does, I think re-signing Noteboom will become a priority, unless the team really thinks Jackson is ready to start at LT (seems unlikely). Not sure we can afford to bring back both Allen and Corbett, so the question is... did we win a title because of them, or in spite of them? Of the two, my gut tells me that Allen is more likely to be prioritized. We could find an OG in the draft.

Pretty spot on. I don't recall anyone at the time saying "that's a horrible plan that's bound to fail." That's not surprising, as Joe Noteboom was coming off a very good performance in the playoffs against Tampa, and most assumed we'd add some depth in the draft.

The plan was sound. It just didn't work out. Injuries are the biggest reason, by far.
