WR is likely these guys if they e keep 6 or 7
Kupp
VJ
TuTu
Puca
BS
Robinson

I think it could come to Xavier or Tyler if the go 7 TJ is a better receiver but X has the ability to play teams.


Injuries have Kept the best 5 OL from playing together in pre season and I am not 100 that was ever the plan
I just don't get the Xavier thing. The only thing I have seen him do positive was catch that pass from Bennet. He has made zero plays in the return game. I would start trying running backs in the return. See if they can handle the fielding punts. Please, Please stop using Kupp.

I think that his ST experience is what gives him a shot, I agree in that I don't see much from him as a WR

Boom was decent against the Bucks because they had zero pass rushers, and played the run extremely well. So I wouldn't use that as a barometer. Every time boom has given an opportunity to be the starter he's gotten injured. I'm not talking about filling in for a couple of games. He either has extremely bad luck or is in-fact soft.
Just semantics I guess, but soft is saying he plays weak and gets pushed around. If that is what you mean, my bad and never mind. Brittle might be a better term for Boom. Someone who always gets hurt. IE Bradford.

Plugging Steve Avila in at LG screwed up the original plan, which was Boom at LT and AJ at LG. That forced Boom and Jackson into competing with each other and it appears AJ won that spot. Maybe the best 5 would be Boom at LT, AJ at LG, Shelton at center, Avila at RG and Hav at RT. Just wondering. Did Avila play any RG in college? There is some potential there, IMO.

This “Best 5 linemen” on the OL really gets on my nerves.

I don’t want the best five overall linemen to start games
Me neither. I want the 5 lineman who are going to work together the best.

Got it: no more making sense.

I’ll just post a load of bollocks, like all the veterans on this forum.
"Ballocks"? You Brits really need to learn to speak proper English! :angel:

The Rams always move the offensive lineman around during practice. It's a good thing with limited roster space and injuries that happen during the season.

The best fits for the system will start. The Rams will sort it out by who is available and where they can play. I'll let them figure it out. They will make the appropriate adjustments as well.

So you read Jourdan’s latest piece on the OL (“Rams’ ‘best 5’ O-linemen still aren’t playing together — and that could be a problem”) and you’re repackaging it as your own original thoughts/concerns?
FWIW, I posted the above OP on another board before reading Jourdan’s piece today. I later imported that post to this board.

Is it so hard to grasp that 2 different people could process the same facts and independently come to the same conclusion?

As an aside, you often take a nasty approach in your replies, or is it just me? Not a particularly good look for a good poster.
