Pass Blocking - How to fix it?

And its not a great draft for pure LTs from what I can gather. More RT types, so Jackson might have to stay at LT and any swing T would mostly be a RT.

Maybe the answer next yr fir a swing OT is to sign a veteran who has experience at LT as a reserve.

Id do that this year too. Christian was signed to the PS and I think grabbed by someone else.
He has plenty of starting experience and could provide solid depth at LT.
There are vet players out there like that.

Anyone watching the Rams, who has watched them since day one of McVay, can clearly see how stale this offensive system has become. He has either chosen not to adapt, or is unable too. Good teams find ways to win with marginal talent at certain positions, and with injuries.

He will not have an endless leash - no one ever does.

It’s so stale, there are new coaches every year trying to replicate it.

Also, not to put too fine a point on it, but the last two seasons we’ve had record levels of injuries and still made the playoffs last season and there’s a slight chance we do again this season.

This team perfectly healthy is a tough out for any team.

Critically Acclaimed Films That Actually Sucked

Lord of the Rings trilogy has gotta be among the best movie series I've ever seen. Top notch acting. Good special effects. Good story line. Sean Astin was at his best in this one. And he's had some good ones. The Hobbit movies were great too. I have no idea what critics think about them. I don't pay attention to them. I just know what I like.

Dotson hype

Accurate I think. But even understanding hindsight being 20/20 it's fair criticism to question the plan.

Now granted I wasn't against the plan so not trying to take a victory lap here or anything. I figured if they felt Avila could play Center they had a good chance to be right. But I expect when the Rams do a lessons learned on this past FA season they're gonna nuke it as they should. It's one thing to move guys around, but as it pertains to signing big ticket players in FA you should be certain that specific spot is a need.

All that aside there is a sense of irony that they finally prioritize the OL and then find a late round gem at Center. Kind of funny, in a good way. :laugh3:

Yeah when we drafted Avila, people liked that he was a guard/center hybrid and there was little criticism here when the decision was announced he’ll move to center.

I’m not saying it was the right decision and the criticism is fair, but I trusted the team and hoped it worked out like the rest of us. Most of this criticism was not going on back in June.

The USS Abraham Lincoln Visits Malaysia

Merlin
I've pulled in to Port Klang once in my career. Malaysia's a cool place. That trip we went off the beaten track a bit and stumbled into a bar where they were having a hard rock band competition. Ended up partying with a couple of the bands all night. Shit was fun as hell.

They also have a very tall building there, and I think there's a mall under it too but not much of a shopper. :laugh3:

Oh and btw 100 days at sea... I feel their pain. The bars where most of the sailors go are going to be on fucking fire when Abraham pulls out.

5 Thoughts Post New England (from an ex-baller)

What are you saying? That they should focus on the OL and the QB until those positions are top 10?

No.
What I am saying is if you pay somebody like Jefferson but take him from the vikings and put him on say, the titans, he won’t put up the same numbers or have as many impactful plays. That team is not good enough at QB/OL to get the most out of his talent. So why pay that kind of $$ for a WR when you really need help somewhere else that’s more important—like QB?

Hindsight free agency.

Rams would be the first to admit this past FA haul was bad I am sure. Behind closed doors of course. I think the offseason overall was a strong continuation of what is a rebuild. Last year's team getting as far as they did was vets carrying them, and one of those vets retired.

But of course had the FA haul been strong we'd probably be a game or three ahead in the standings. So I don't see anything wrong with the Rams getting the criticism on this year's haul.

For next year's FA group I think they need to apply their rule set they have been using in the draft, in going after top end mentality. And you have to pay a bit more for it too I am sure, but it's worth it. I mean imagine if Evans was in this offense holy shit. It still would have sucked early on without a better OL plan, but that could have been done better too. Either way what I like about McVay and Snead is they are undoubtedly harder on their self grades than any of us are. And that is why they are so good at what they do.

They nailed the Dotson evaluation.

I still think Jonah Jackson was a good signing. They didn’t know about Limmer.

If they signed Evans then that likely changes the rest of free agency.
