A chance Shelton might be back for Sunday

'There's a chance' Rams will get Coleman Shelton back this week

Sean McVay said “there’s a chance” Coleman Shelton could return from injury this wee against the Cardinals

Having Shelton back would be huge.

LT Nsekhe
LG Shelton
C Allen
RG Jackson
RT Havenstein

That would be a decent OL and get this offense back on track.

I would go for that OL

Can anyone convince McVay to sit Evans? Any defensive tackle who has to go against him would be licking their chops.

He just needs to cut him. We need to try new young blood as depth.

If Shelton back, Evans will be on the bench. I'd rather he was out of the building but McVay likes the guy or something..... how could they review the film from last week and keep the guy active on gamedays???

Minor quibble, but I'd rather keep Jackson at LT getting reps.

If you want to start the best remaining OL on the roster then you play Nsekhe who is strictly an OT. Jackson played well at RG, better than Aboushi. So move him back to RG and play Nsekhe at LT, he looked ok on Sunday.

This would give Stafford more confidence in the OL. His throws were off because he had one eye on the WRs and one on the OL.

I also like the idea of playing Shelton at LG keeping Brewer at RG where he played well next to Havenstein.

 

[Merlin]

You don't move a LT who is playing well. The other positions moving guys around is fine but not LT. LT playing well is key for the QB. So no way I would move Jackson. He's done enough moving this season anyway, it is time to let him start his era as our blindside protection and refine his game instead of introducing more confusion and mistakes with this group.

Workable.

Agreed.
But we do know that Jackson can play right guard at a high level.

Bonus for this fairly amazing udfa find.

LT > RG.

I think I'd choose to go with :

LT) Jackson
LG) Shelton
C) Allen
RG) Brewer
RT) Havenstein

Alaric Jackson is considered by many to be an eventual starter at LT, I'd rather see him getting those snaps at what may be his strongest position. And did Jackson ever grade as high as Brewer did at RG ? Nsekhe should remain as our best current swing OT. jmo.

 

[Soul Surfer]

I wish I knew the inside scoop on skura.

I do have to admit I underestimated Brewer.
He was not the biggest problem on the offensive line.

Where's all the love for Evans?

 

[Soul Surfer]

LT > RG.

Which is actually incredibly rare and one of the reasons I've been so high on Jackson.

That is some SERIOUS versatility.

I believe Skura jumped Kolone as our first reserve Center, Kolone was pushed back to the Practice Squad.

It's remarkable to hit on a LT through UDFA yeah. Windfall really, the kind of thing that can expedite a quick rebuild because LT is such a huge piece of the championship puzzle.

What's amazing is he can watch him play or the tape and STILL puts him out there.

 

[Soul Surfer]

Meaning I'm surprised he's not starting.
If I were McVay, I would be starting as many veterans as possible, even oday abushi.

 

[oldnotdead]

Skura isn't an upgrade to anyone. He's struggled on every team he's been on.
