Running game actually looked much better. I just wish McVay realized and saw it.
Noteboom & Allen both injured

Not being able to put the game away by chewing clock and getting an first down has been a problem for years. I thought Jackson played great btw. I prefer Jackson at Right guard and Shelton at center. Its too bad Anchrum got injured. I really was hoping to see what he could do.
Now you are being silly. The Martz conversations went on far longer than the Crede/Tutu conversation. Tutu did great today btw
Yes he ran well during the game, but the Rams Oline has not been able to enforce its will on teams to end the game.

Line was doing well.
Kupp's fumble and the blocked punt were the problem.

We’ve all seen the Ram inability to finish the game and get a first down to run out the clock many times in recent years.

And wouldn’t be an issue if they had taken care of the ball.

Okay, so NFL teams have no need for being able to get first downs running the ball late, thanks.

I’m saying execution problems are much more important than structural problems right now.
That's scary with noteboom ....your not getting a LT without giving away the franchise. Sign Fischer move boom back to guard or have him heal .....pressure against a team like ATL is one thing but Bosa is going to crush Stafford if this continues. Unless Fischer hates LA please sign him now!!! Give him a chance to get acclimated.
I thought Noteboom played well yesterday; and Nick Bosa usually is on the left-side of the 49ers' Defense, so he mostly goes-up against Havenstein.
He still lead in pressures is what one of the posters wrote that's scary against a team with not much there besides Grady on the middle....and I'd be moving bosa a lot especially if boom isn't playing well and also a bum knee.
Boom should have another solid or better game vs Arizona. Their edge types are nothing special. His play overall is worrisome but then again we knew there might be a settling in period.
I am actually hopeful with the OL though, given how much better they looked with Jackson in there at RG. OL are weird. Sometimes a different group just work better together regardless of the talent side. Also Jackson has always had a good anchor to his game and that is an element they needed up front. Danger of course is the depth, we're down to 7 and that includes Evans who is hardly better than some random castoff.
But back to Jackson he might end up being a guard for us. As good as he's looked in small doses at tackle his strengths seem to be magnified inside where lateral movement for the DL is nullified a bit. So very happy with him in there and hopeful they keep him there. And of course hopeful we have no further injuries to the group, given how ugly the depth looks.

Move Boom to a position he's worse at than LT?
Edwards and his replacement for are both better suited for LG than boom.If he continues to struggle I assume his replacement will be waiting to take over. McVay wont mess around when it comes to Staffords blind side.
I noticed the Rams brought in a 6'th 'Jumbo' offensive lineman for at least one play to help block on the left side, but wouldn't you know it that Bobby Evans completely whiffed on the play.
We also brought in Skowronek as a FB which was pretty successful and mixed things up a bit which was fun, but being without our WR3 in Van Jefferson, that also creates additional pressure on Kupp & Robinson as targets, so I keep wondering why Roger Carter isn't being invited to the party as TE3 or FB for blocking purposes, or is Skow that much better doing double duty ? If Noteboom/Edwards needs help on the left side, where's our TE lined up ?

I know I always wanted him at LT however he did open holes in the run game at guard. If it continues you can get Stafford killed your season depends on at least his blindside so the Rams are not one to sit on a mistake as we have seen before. I'm not saying Boom is a mistake just yet but this one will need to be decided and quickly before you run that gauntlet and get your franchise QB killed. AD needs help to but if I had to choose I'd get the o-line sured up rather take chances in a shootout all o ask is we are good against the run so as other teams can chew up clock. It's only 2 games but my binoculars rt now are on LT and Edge help. Let's see how this plays out.
Great points and spot on and I realize only two games in but most on this forum are pretty dam smart usually when all or most pick up immediately on 1 or 2 things we are not wrong. We will see how it goes that first whiner game and to an extent Arizona but the whiner game will reveal a lot. Not looking passed the turdnals at all especially after wt we witnessed yesterday.
