Not much to say positive here as this Fisher team goes into week 14 riding very low after 8 losses out of 9 games. So I was trying to look for small nuggets of positive stuff. But I need to set this story first.....
The Rams OLG post has seen many different performers playing this part in this Ram offense the last 2 seasons. 2015 Boudreau started Rookie Jamon Brown @ OLG, who did fair enough as a rookie. But matters a few feet to Jamon Brown's left was outside of his controlled were going very badly & Boudreau had to perform emergency repair work in the middle of the bye week & move two starting OG's to help bring the OLT post back into working condition.
Bou's repair work to LT resulted in some long term damage to the 2 involved OG's in this move. Saffold played a few series @ OLG before seriously damaging his shoulder results injury, IR'd, shoulder reconstructive surgery. Rookie Brown did not settle into his new role @ RG. His performance on this new side declined JB like Saffold suffered a similar disaster was injured a few weeks later IR'd & surgery. But it did give us the best we have seen from GRob yet...was it worth it?
Onto this 2016 ......very early injury to 2015's NFL best starting rookie Right Tackle looks to have been a sign of doom for this OL. This event directly effected OLG post. It resulted in the move (one again) of Saffold into the starting ORT post for the entire OTA's/TC & pre season. Both OG posts were put into open competition while the other 3 post were set. Wichmann/Kush/Folkerts/Rhaney & Reynolds were all involved @ OLG. Notice who's name was missing Brown's. When 2016 began Saffold was reinserted @ OLG.
Now to finally get to the small positive nugget ....In last Sunday's game I observed that the OLG post was the best preforming OL post by far. Jamon Brown who getting healthy after a broken hand/wrist surgery started back @ OLG & played what I believe was his best game yet this season. I would hope that JB remains the starter @ OLG for the last 4 games & see if he is Goff's future OLG in 2017.
I know its not much...:sadwalk:
