That's about as good as the OL will have looked except for the start of game one. I think McClendon starts with Noteboom at swing. Joe is their backup at both LT and RT so he's more valuable in that position. If McClendon struggles they can put Joe in. I would like to see J. Jack start at RG as it would allow him to work back into a starting rhythm if they are going to eventually start him at center.
McClendon's issues are in pass protection. With J Jack and Warren on the right side they can run anywhere across the OL front. J. Jack is an OG, Limmer is really just a center. This would leave them with Noteboom, Dedich and Bruss as their gameday backup swings which isn't a bad 3 to have.
They are going to need balance between run and pass in this game. It will stress the best part of the Fin's defense which is their secondary.
Even if Hill plays but is limited in his snaps that would be huge for the Rams. Hill + Waddle would be challenging. Hill stresses a secondary like Kupp does for the Rams, so even limiting his snap muchless him not playing would have a similar affect for the Fins.
The key to winning would be for the offense to start fast. They have to bury the Dolphins early and not allow them to hang around.
K Dot is playing. I’d be surprised if not. They are managing him and his injury. Have been for a while.
