A tale of two guards

[-X-]

According to Pro Football Focus.
Can't give a link because it's part of their premium stats.

I'd ask you for your thoughts, but ...

Yeah.

Ill be honest. Im surprised there isnt more of a gap between Dahl and Ojinnaka

Just to offer some context.

The Rams' offensive line ranks like this.

26th in total pass plays (166)
29th in sacks allowed (11)
26th in hits allowed (12)
20th in hurries allowed (26)
29th in total pressure allowed (59)*

*Total of sacks, hits and hurries allowed.

It is what it is. There are two guys out, and one guy playing a different position than what he normally plays. All things considered, it could be worse. But being in the bottom of the league in most of those stats should give some indication of why the offense is sputtering. Particularly against good defenses. Make that great defenses (CHI, SEA, AZ). And Sunday we get to face the top run defense in the entire league. Joy. I hope we can jump out to an early lead and get them to be one dimensional and allow us to be more balanced.

Richardson is +3.5
Hunter -0.1
Turner -1.4
Dahl -2.0
Ojinnaka - +1.4
Watkins -0.1
Wells +0.7

I don't have their cumulative rank at the moment, but I know I saw it elsewhere.

Thanks. Had to figure Richardson was a + run blocker. Surprised Dahl is not though. I figured he'd be a slight positive.

Also interesting Rok did not grade out exceptionally well in run blocking as that was his perceived strength.

Knock knock..who's there? Rams offensive line. Rams offensive line who?

The Rams offensive line that has done pretty damn well considering...after the Bears game they've got it done per say again with the oline shuffle and against some damn good defensive fronts Seafucks, Sparrows and if they can maintain and succeed against the Flippers I'd say I'm convinced we gonna be A OK!

Not to pick nits but doesn't 11+12+26 equal 49?

Rok was deer meet the headlights when he played, and only played a short while in all, so I don't think the stat is any indication. I think the sample size is large enough to come up with at least partial conclusions on the other guys. Dahl has been average at best. The pressures seemed way down the last game on our tackles. I've been disappointed with our run game overall. I thought it would be stronger.

Yeah, but there are guys like Nsekhe, Shelly Smith, Barksdale, etc who didn't have enough snaps to qualify, but they did have a negative influence on the stats.
