Its funny,

That one post showing Noteboom giving up 5 sacks and so many QB hits and pressure,

In which I know for sure off the top of my head, he gave up two from Von Miller,
and one against the Cowboys, not sure about the 9ers game.

As for all the QB hits and pressure that was listed,
to my naked eye, I didn't see that many, if so, where did CBS get their inform?

I always stated, our weakness is from up the middle,

McVay seems to see the same thing,
by him stating he doesnt want to give out on who is starting at LG, C or RG,

If Noteboom was doing that bad as CBS tweet put out,
then why didn't McVay put LT on the list?

McVay says he's still 'a developing player'. Some scoff at that saying, "he's in his 5th year". Prior to this season, he's started only 11 games at LT (plus 1 in the postseason). I'd say that could be "still developing".

What he get at LT with the 1's in practice during 2018, Whits rest day? 2019 he played LG for 5 games plus before being injured. Covered for the 7 or 8 games Whit missed in 2020 and back to LT on Whit's rest day last year.

A Jax - Boom - Skura - Oday - Hav

This could happen.

All 5 OL positions will be played by Ben Skowronek this week.

McVay:

You can call that "coach speak" if you wish, but that does not sound like a change is forthcoming.

But what do YOU think of Noteboom’s play?

McVay doesn’t throw the towel in on players in pressers. Using a sound bite from McVay to argue that Noteboom is playing solid LT is specious at best.

BTW, I noticed you’re not posting your 20 things stuff here anymore. Sounds like you’re phasing out on this board. And yet you’re a moderator here. Kind of like a moderator emeritus.

Specious or not, do you think Noteboom is about to be replaced at LT?

Up and down. The thing that, in a weird way, encourages me is that when I've seen him beaten, it has appeared to be more often a case of a missed assignment as opposed to just getting beaten physically. I consider the former more correctable - though, at this point, he needs to clean it up quickly.

I also look back to his start against Tampa in the playoffs and view that as an example of what he can do (if you like PFF scores, they gave him a 71.4 for that game).

No, by definition, at best, McVay is giving an honest assessment. Neither your disagreement nor McVay's occasional public sugar-coating (something most, if not all, coaches do) renders the use of this quote specious.

It is not my intention to make this thread about me, but since you specifically raised the issue (1) I am posting 20RT elsewhere, (2) I wouldn't say I'm "phasing out." Just exploring conversations with other Rams fans, and (3) I am only a Mod on General Discussion.

Specious or not, do you think Noteboom is about to be replaced at LT?

I think it’s possible. However, the problem is Noteboom has shown that he’s not good at OG, so where do you play him? He’d most likely be a backup again. And we are so thin due to injuries, yuck.

I do think it’s likely if he continues to play poorly this year, they’ll replace him before the end of the year.

But most likely he’s replaced next year.
