In no particular order, btw.

Who will be our new starting Center?

Who will become our new starting RG? (Assuming Corbett moves to OC)

Who will start at WOLB?

And who will be our starting ILB’s?

Multiple candidates for each of the above. Preseason games might have to decide the victors.

Place your bets. Y’all...

Only thing PS games have told us in McVay's history, is that if you're playing in pre-season, you probably aren't starting...

Jones will be our starting ILB by mid-season or Kiser will be having a hell of a year.

Any other debate before season officially kicks off will pale in comparison to the daddy of all debates after we kick off: Is Stafford worth what we gave up?

How many breakdowns of Goff/Stafford are we to endure? Already sick of it and it hasn't started yet...

I really kind of doubt it will be like that here but I guess we'll see.

Fire up the sportsbook lol

C will probably be Corbs.

RG will be Anchrum. I think the Rams want him in their starting 5. Moving Corbs over makes room for him.

ILB will be Reeder. Jones comes on during the season and won't look back.

Blindside edge will go with Oko. He is solid all around and Hollins is primary depth. I don't trust Lewis.

Fans will simmer down once they see Matt in this offense. He may need a few games to really settle in but this offense should be something this year and will fix all that BS.

If they are winning & win it all I’m ok with whoever gets the nod for those positions .

On a serious note, I think they will bring in at least two Vets after June 1st.

That would be amazing I'd settle for Poole or Wright, but both? Wow. I will try it in house for the present.

OC...Austin Corbett, wasn't ready as a rookie, will be ready now.
RG...Bobby Evans, big guard, needs to improve in pass protection, but should be ready to seize the day.
ILB's...Howard & Jones...Howard for coverage & Jones can stuff the run.
SCB...Long will start, but Robert Rochelle from Central Arkansas will be the steal of the draft.
WOLB...Hollins will start, Lewis on passing downs and if he stays healthy will end up being on the field more often.

Here’s my projected opening day starters.

OC. Corbett looks like the favorite. This decision was probably made pre-FA, frankly.

RG. Anchrum. That’s right, I think Anchrum can beat out Evans at RG before opening day. Evans is an OT, not an OG, at least in my opinion. Anchrum could possibly become a 10 year starter at OG.

WOLB. Lewis is the nominal starter on opening day but I have little confidence that he can stay healthy enough to remain there. So, soon we will be back to a rotation of Hollins, Obo, and maybe Garrett. Wouldn’t be surprised if they brought in a 2nd tier vet for insurance in such a rotation. WOLB has not been ‘fixed’, y’all.

ILB. Just a question of when, not if, Jones becomes a starter, I think. I make it 50-50 that he starts there on opening day. Got a feeling Howard is the other starter inside but I will say this. I think Rams are fairly satisfied with their ILB room for 2021. No superstar, but lots of solid players for this particular D scheme.

Slot CB. Technically, on opening day it’s probably gonna be Long, but I see Rochell gaining by leaps and bounds and seizing the position by November and never looking back. If Long struggles in camp, I’m very comfortable with Burgess there until Rochell is a full go. This Ram secondary is loaded and will be a joy for Morris to tinker with. Lots of opposing QB’s are gonna be frustrated this year after playing Rams, including the uber-experienced Tom Brady.

This should be interesting and you're going with that Evans is more of a tackle then guard. Evans is not that much bigger at 6-4 314lbs vs Anchrum at 6-2 314lbs and it appears that Anchrum is better from the neck up, but I believe in Evans, he's a road grader and if he can pass protect, he & Havenstein would ensure when the Rams run right, positive yardage is garnered each and every time.

C Corbett - He'll show us why they didn't feel the need to grab a center in the draft.

RG Anchrum - I just think they really like him and Evans just doesn't seem like he should be trusted against the pass rush on the interior of the line.

WOLB Lewis - if he's healthy (a big if, I know), he's the best we have.

ILB Jones and Howard - they love Jones, it's his to lose. Howard gets his last chance to stay healthy for a season and make some green.

SCB Burgess - He can play here or safety. I think it's here that he makes his impact.

That’s why they have horse races, den.

Either Evans or Anchrum would probably be fine at RG. We just differ on which would be the better player there come opening day.

May the ‘best 5’ start and prosper.

I say this about who starts @ OLB'er post vacated by Samson Ebukam......Rams have 3 signed OLB'ers i.e. Og Okoronkwo, Terrell Lewis & Justin Lawler can not stay healthy & Justin Hollins can!

Starting MLB'er ......once again Micah Kiser has never been healthy enough to start & now is entering his last season as a Ram under contract...why even bother now. Troy Reeder has always remained healthy & dependable to line up & play for Kiser. Do you think that new DC Morris will have a rookie MLB'er calling & captaining his defense?
