IMO the Dolphins can play far better than their record would seem to reflect. They have Tua back and that changes the entire dynamic of their offense. The Ram defense must continue to play their A game. The offense needs to get untracked earlier. The strength of the Dolphins IMO is their defense. They are especially good against the pass.

If the Miami D has a weakness it's in run defense. That is where getting Jackson or Avila back to play LG would be huge. The Rams need to run the ball well enough to be a legit threat with their ground game. IMO people need to understand there were reasons that Jackson was moved to center and Avila to LG and IMO it had to do with the run game. Avila can be a dominant LG when playing the position both in the run and passing game. Jackson is a good OG but not close to dominant. We haven't see enough of him at center to know what you are getting there. You can't equate play at OG and play at center, they both are different positions. If Avila can't go on Monday, absolutely I would play Jackson at LG if he is ready. I would feel much better if Jackson is going to play center the rest of the season for him to have his first game to be against the Pats. The chemistry between center and QB is very real with a lot of areas where it can go wrong. Center is not a position you want to rush a guy into, especially if he's been basically a OG for his career.

Jackson's contract reflects the Rams' view of him as a bridge player or their desire to see how good he is before committing to him as a long-term starter.

The Rams should win but the Rams have a tendency to play down to their opponents that they should dominate. If the Rams lose it will be because of tripping over themselves in one or more phases of the game.

Consistency on offense, defense and STs will be the key for the Rams the rest of the season.

Miami defense has not been good all season, a major disappointment. There offense with Tua back and Achane are the strength.

Miami's defense isnt good at rushing the passer or stopping the run.

Run the ball and play action pass with HOF Stafford.

With Tua playing and playing well this game will be a tough W. Their backs are against the wall as the Ram's backs were a few weeks ago. This game will likely determine the rest of their year.

First day of practice for MNF, Avila and Jackson have been designated for return. That means they can practice but they'd still have to be added to the 53 if they're going to play Monday:

Still, that means Avila is close. I've been expecting Jackson would play, but I was thinking Avila was still a little ways away.

According to McVay Jackson will be up, Avila is a ? for Monday night.

After the last 3 weeks with this team seeming to turn a corner, watching from the sidelines has to be frustrating. Both these guys want back in the game. And Ram fans want to see them back in the game. I just hope they exercise excellent judgement and don't rush it.

We are going to look like the LA rams wearing those!
