7 pressures given up on 33 Pass block attempts in 2024.... Opponent had a 31% Win rate against Arcuri ....... Flagged for 2 penalties on the 33 attempts, 1 declined.

PFF grades at 1.9 ...... :shock:

This has got to be the lowest grade I have seen for any player, ever

I appreciate his effort and work put in, but the Rams have to be on the market for another Tackle before training Camp.

McClendon is a player The Rams like as a swing Tackle.
Mcvay has said that much,plus they have a couple interesting UDRFA’s who they could develop.We’ll get a good look at them in training camp.

Under McVay, the Rams always have a plan, and a good one, with multiple options. But I really wonder what the plan is regarding backup OT in 2025.

Doesn't seem like there are many good OT's left out there. Are Rams waiting on a possible Ramsey deal to see how much $ they might have left?

Here's a list of some FA options at OT that I think was updated a few days ago, on May 22. Link at bottom of this post. Anybody look serviceable?

Maybe if he stays at RT .... He started one game last season at LT, week 2 vs ARIZ. On 32 Pass Blacking attempts, he gave up 3 sacks and 1 QB hit.... Opponent Pass rush Win percentage of 32 .....almost as bad as Arcuri. Don't think either of the 2 have the skill set to play LT at a competent level.

KT Leveston. He played LT at Kansas State & could be a swing tackle. Now I hope they do sign someone else, but I know Leveston will get opportunities.

I do think it was a mistake not to sign a swing tackle but maybe a solid OT shakes free before week 1? After all, teams can only keep so many against the cap. But, right now, I am worried

I don’t see The Rams signing any FA’s as of now. The plan is to keep money for in season Free Agent signings or trades.
The Rams use the preseason to also try to develop players,especially the O’Line

No one has mentioned it, but the Chiefs addressed their OL through the draft. So, D. J. Humphries could well be a cut candidate and would be a great pickup this late (but not too late) in his career

I'm honestly shocked we've left ourselves this thin at one of the most important positions on the roster.

Hopefully we can pick up a serviceable backup after final cuts because I don't even see what the alternative would be at this point...

Cross their fingers and hope to get through the season healthy (not a great plan). Wait till end of August when someone decent is on the street and looking for work (seems likely). Big picture: grab the best QB ánd OT in round 1 one of 2026 draft (hopefully).

The Ol and CB positions seem to be extremely thin as far as depth is concerned.
