Imho Whit is Whit and Comparing Boom to WHIT is, well. Not Well.Me and my boy were just talking about how well noteboom did. He my not be Whitworth but no one else ever will be. But in this one game against a great D, the Boom did great! Didn’t even occur to me while watching he had Goffs blindside.View attachment 41303
That’s why I said no one will ever be Whit. But against a great D Boom held His own.Imho Whit is Whit and Comparing Boom to WHIT is, well. Not Well.
Whit has scored top 10 again and again and Boom, Nope.
Whit is the bomb, period Imho.
Noteboom needs to improve his run blocking, but there's a reason Goff wasn't touched. Noteboom and Edwards were on-point when it came to cooperating to say what their responsibilities were (i.e., knowing who to block, whom to pass off to the other). His feet are special. I can see why he was drafted with our first pick that year.
I actually wouldn't mind keeping Whitworth and trading Havenstein to an O-line needy team for a mid-round pick (if Whitworth doesn't retire after our impending Super Bowl win). I get the feeling that Noteboom deserves a chance to shine at tackle. He sucks at guard, but as a tackle, he can be special.

I wouldn't trade Havenstein unless you think Evans can be just as good. Hav is still only 28 years old. My hope is that we win the Super Bowl, Whit retires (if he wants), and Noteboom proves capable of being a long-term starter for us.
Havenstein is one of the best RT in football. Big reason for our O-line resurgence this year in my opinion. He is maybe the best run blocking RT out there and has been solid in pass pro when not facing elite rushers.
I guess I am a bigger fan of Big Rob then others.
Agree, Have a Happy Holiday.That’s why I said no one will ever be Whit. But against a great D Boom held His own.
I was thinking of moving Whitworth - if he decides not to retire, I think he has another year or two on his current contract - to right tackle and keeping Noteboom at left. If he does retire, though, I'd still trade Havenstein for a mid-round pick to put Evans in at right tackle with Chandler Brewer - if/when he comes back - as the swing. I actually do think that Evans can be just as good (better in pass-protection by far, very-slightly worse against the run) as Havenstein, if not better.
A non contact practice to usually go over specifics for a game plan.Noteboom is a capable replacement and held his own Monday Night. He will continue to perform well. BTW-I read in the LA Times that the Rams are scheduled for a walkthrough tomorrow. What is a walkthrough?
Thanks in advance.

We were all wrong about the o-line except for the front office and coaches. I don't think I've seen basically the same group of guys change so much from 1 year to the next.They must see something in Brian Allen too but I guess only time will tell if he can play at this level.No one has been more skeptical of Noteboom than I have.
I was wrong.
Very happy to be wrong.
The extra space allowed at T allows Boom to use his strength (pointed out by many here).....quick first step, long arms, strength.....to set up in good position pass blocking.
I only saw one play Monday Night where Boom displayed his lack of balance and was beaten on an inside move by Pierre-Paul.....which is gonna happen vs a guy of that talent level.
He did a better job keeping his feet run blocking as well. He went to the ground 3 or 4 times.....not every time like at G.
The rushers may not be as fast but everything happens quicker inside. That affected him at G. Having to make more lateral blocks affected him.
His run blocking is ehh.
He had a couple of very good blocks in the run game but whiffed plenty as well. That’s still a work in progress.
But, to have Goff pass 50 times or so and give up zero sacks and one pressure....that’s a great game pass blocking.
As @Memento said Boom and Edwards did a good job picking up stunts and the occasional blitz. The whole line did actually.
One thing that impressed me was McVay did not change the offense to help Boom at all. He got very little help. There were times when the RB would line up to his left in the shotgun and Goff would move him to his right for protection.
The only time there was a lot of help given....a TE stayed in to pass block and a RB helped Boom as well....was when Goff dropped back into the end zone to pass. That was less about Boom than the situation I think.
For what it’s worth (not much) I was super impressed with Boom Monday Night.
