Didn't he do this his last year at Wisconsin as well? Why didn't anyone know he was then either? The guys a low profile superstar.
Havenstein the only OT to not give up a sack in 2015

To me it's pretty clear, that right now, he is the key to our whole line. After we get some guys back, he might not be, but, as I said in another thread, he will be a stud for years to come, and better than almost anyone gave him credit for.

Nah. He was a major reach. Rams should have looked elsewhere in round two.
Probably could have got an even better player using that first round pick instead.

I know he wasn't a Ram but older fans from stlouis and La will remember Dan Dierdorf dominating the line from the RT spot. Hall of fame, 3 time Nfl Olineman of the year. There is precedence

The Rams have a hall of fame RT if he's anywhere near Jackie Slater we're golden.

The line was better than last year.
Hopefully these young men can stay healthy next year and form a tough, ass-kicking unit. Our run blocking needs to improve next year, so Gurley can punish defenses.
I'm very pleased with the way these guys played this year for the most part.
Most of us knew there would be some tough moments, but in the long run, it would pay off.

I never understood why they include the bench press in the combine. How much you bench does not equate to how much you can move standing up with nothing supporting your back. I guess it's just tradition?

Always wished the combine was more game relevant.
Load up a sled with massive weight and see how far and fast linemen can move that sucker.
Put WRs in pads. Run no contact route drills.
Put a helmet on the QB and out a free rusher in his ass to scare him. Get under center. Etc.

I think the difference is, they are just pointing out straight facts. Their rating system is garbage. It makes sense, but I highly doubt JL55 is the 77th worst LB in the NFL. He wouldn't continue to start if that was the case. Any website could tell you he hasn't given up a sack. Or that Tru Johnson is #1 in QB rating against. It's not part of their flawed point system.

This is a simple statistic not a rating formula they created to assign value to players. And no I don't like PFF.

Likely it is the exception but there were some low totals. My main point was its just as much about the proper technique sometimes as it is about pure strength.

I picked him in that big ass mock draft we did because the Bears needed a T when I was drafting for them. I was happy when the Rams took him.

Without even looking at what PFF says I love Havenstein, Brown and Cody Wichman as starters for the next 8+ years. Rob Havenstein lost so much belly fat before the combine he had to be weak in his long arms on bench. These three will be EATING YORK Plates of IRON ALL offseason. Love the guys head (Havenstein) more than what he has shown as he has struggled some too as expected . You don't find guys like these 3 with such LONG streaks of games played without missing a start and players that will continue to get better as they are lunch pail throwback types who will learn their respective spots as well as can be. Great people as well as players. Have very High expectations for the future. Havenstein has so much more to improve on. Love his second level play and hustle , but needs more weightroom as does Brown & Wichman as its still TRANSITION from college to Pro's.
We need competition for our Center spot even though I love Barnes' heart and effort most of the time. Lots of injury and line mixtures to adjust too this poor season. Say goodbye to Saffold as we should not pay that money for a backup .....But we know OL injuries WILL come and maybe a higher level backup might be worth having around IF his shoulders do check out fully finally.
This team has many players to resign and we need to upgrade two major leadership role players on "D". No easy task . Not to mention the QB and recieving holes that are as big as the Grand Canyon. Happy New Year Rams die hard fans.:grouphug:

No sacks given up, and sorry if it's been mentioned earlier in the thread, I believe he hasn't been called for a penalty either. I may be wrong though. Either way, he's been fantastic this year. Good job by the Rams going and getting him whent hey did.

Havenstein has been so solid, and he reminds me of Jon Runyan. He is cleary, very intelligent; seems like he has heavy hands, and he loves to push guys around all game. He saved teh Arizona game with that fumble recover.
Next year: Jamon Brown and him should be solid and good pros, and Wichman or Saffold will be good...and then Greg Robinson becomes the player that all the focus shifts to if we want to have a very good line. Why can't Battle, who is 2nd round quality, start at left tackle? I hate saying that, but his skill level is very high--though he seems "unfocused".
Speaking of Saffold, you can't put him on the bench can you? Brown or Wichmann then become very good back ups!
