Looks like the Rams brought back Kolone from last year. Lots of competition.

That actually works really well.
When I meditate now, instead of saying;
"Ooohhhmmm", I say;
"Grooooyyyy...."
I'm thinking Fowler and/or Peters may very well be on that CAP casualty list along with Brockers, really depends on what kind of year they have in 2019, they could just price themselves out of a new contract with the Rams. We have all of our draft choices for 2020 other than the 5'th, and will have plenty of free agent options available for McSnead to explore once again. The Rams began their prep work with this draft by bringing in multiple DB's & OL, I suspect Long will move into a starting position along with Rapp in 2020, and the competition between Demby, Evans & Edwards should be fierce along the OL. If Obo comes out of the gate strong, our Edge options will certainly rise, and the same goes for Franklin & Gaines on the DL. The future looks bright imo.

Noteboom is going to have a serious learning curb ?? He & Demby had a little trouble last year as rookies getting everything together!!
Kromer is throwing the book at him though.
Will see how that goes.
—Allen from just all the info I’ve gathered shows he is ready to take over at Center.
Behind the Grid this 2nd series of this 2nd year is pretty good. Allen just seems like he is a perfect fit. His brother is already improving as a pro as well.The way Allen has his
Mind set is awesome.
— Brockers is AWESOME !! Really Ram fans know this !! What a cool in house veteran & the first pick of Les Snead’s Legacy as a Rams GM !! Class Act & Team Leader !!
He just went up against the new DL Coach Henderson at practice & they got physical!!
The D”Lineman were like shocked.
All The Time Aaron Donald is missing from All these practices, it’s Michael Brockers who is holding down the Fort !!
I don’t get your point about the SuperBowl??
Yes Blythe was a weak link & Sullivan’s gone.
If Allen stepped in at Center I don’t think you see that drop off, but actually maybe an improvement. That holding call sucked & really changed the game. I believe Gurley would have went off & The Rams put up 17 points.
Depth is going to play a big roll. I don’t know how the offensive line will play out ??
- Big Whitworth right now looks a little heavy & that worries me.
-Noteboom being counted on at LG does as well. Wish he could be counted on as a game day backup .
- Blythe would be a perfect backup OG/OC like 2 years ago. He did start all 2018 & helped The Rams get to a Super Bowl though.Can’t beat up on him to badly. Should improve as well.
—Allen I believe will be ready to go.
That is a pretty good look.If Demby can step up ?? Noteboom is going to get the real chance. He has already been underfire with real bullets against Da Bears at LG !!
We don’t know how things will play out. I do think Kromer is content with this group though.
—Groy ?? WTF ?? What has he done for The Rams ??
He was the best thing for not being a Ram !!!
Allen learned so much from John Sullivan & I doythink him being the Starting Center the last 2years is appreciated as much as McVay did.
Sullivan is gone because of his contract & that Allen has so much more upside.Plus they are not really G/C types.
I saw Zach Kromer working with him. The Rams like to teach tight body movements in space to seal a defender while keep hands inside.
Demby is a question mark though ?? Will be interesting how this plays out.

Suh - is a different cat !! I do think he brought a solid veteran talent !! He had a good work ethic though.
— To put Brockers in the category Of Suh is crap !! I get the point your making & it is interesting how Suh has not signed another team, BROCK has been Nothing but First Class !! You can put a Stamp on that !!
Like I keep saying he is a Ram True Generational Player . He is Les Snead’s First pick & has helped change The Ram culture!!
Brockers is a Ram & team Leader !! Who knows what his future is ??
He still is a solid Ram like he always has been. He looks in great shape & could even be resigned to another contract with the team.
“Hope you can fit it into your schedule”, Merlin? HOPE?
“Hope” is not a strategy! You need to readjust your damned schedule, man!
Camp reports are Job One in the summer and all else must take a back seat. Your board needs you out there.
Family, job, etc, simply must take a back seat until the Rams break camp. It’s only a few weeks, dammit. They’ll understand. Lol.
I consider Aaron Kromer on equal grounds with the great New England Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia.

Jamil Demby was a very raw talent from a smaller school last year. PLayed LT not much else. Kromer tired to work JD in four posts in TC. In preseason we saw JD line up & play in 3 posts. His best gameplay came @ LT IMO. JD's RT work was not good nor was his RG snaps. HIs best post in the NFL should be @ Left OG where Saffold played. It will be exciting for me to view his progression from last season to now.
JD best chance to start with the Rams is to beat out starting RG Austin Blythe. JD will find it hard to beat out Joe Noteboom @ starting LG. I would hope that JD can get much better & win a starting post. If Kromer two best starting OG's in TC & preseason were Demby & Noteboom then things would fall in place for the future. JD is under a low-cost contract & should be here until 2022 when he will be a UFA. That gives us 3 seasons of his services.
Austin Blythe's contract with the Rams ends when this season is over. The NASTY
uke: SB memory is still burnt into my mind. He was destroyed by the very average interior Pats DL. He was just too light & was tossed around with very little effort. Blythe also needs to work on keeping his mouth shut. His confidentiality skills are.
AB earlier ran his mouth in a playoff press conference on how the Dallas DL gave tips as to what they were doing.....then some real dummy called Bill & his Pats turned it around & did the same to the Rams Offense. Thanks, Austin:sadwalk:Austin Blythe would be an outstanding
Active Game Day Reserve [AGDR] in 2019. He has started in the NFL @ RT/ RG/ LG & center. AB would give Kromer something too It would make the 6th Ram OL position stronger. The 2nd [AGDR] would need to be the best LT reserve so Noteboom would not need to be moved out of his starting OG post. Who that will be ?? Evans/ Edwards or Kaskey?This may be interesting for us ...Kromer brought back last years TC/Preseason OG Jeremiah Kolone. He was released @ the end of the preseason but went on to play for Mike Martz pass happy offense SD Fleet. Kolone was thrown into the starting center post this season.
Kolone, as it would turn out, was a fantastic pass blocker & led the country with a pass-blocking efficiency of 99.7 while only allowing one pressure in 244 attempts. He was well-known for his pass-blocking abilities and relies on technique rather than power against pass rushers & played on the left side to protect the blind side in college. He was listed as an OT but never played OT in college. Kromer thought he was an OG. Now after the season with the Fleet, Kolone has demonstrated his ability to play all three interior positions is very appealing and is especially attractive to Kromer who is looking for some experience for back up center position.

Allen's mindset is why he'll succeed at center. He still has the background of a former wrestler, so once he learns technique from Kromer, he'll be good to go.
Noteboom is the guy I'm excited about. He did extremely well in what was basically a spot start at left tackle when Whitworth went down against the Whiners in the last game. He didn't make any mistakes in that game, and I watched every snap. Underrated power, unbelievable movement. Just looked like the left tackle of the future. I have no doubt that he'll excel wherever he is - tackle or guard.
Demby is the wildcard. He's more ahead of the curve than Evans and Edwards, which means if someone falters or gets injured, he'll be the first man up. I know that he's a sixth round pick, but the guy was a beast in college, and if he's gotten good weight on him, he'll be fantastic.
Agree. - with Allen he references the knowledge he got playing behind Sullivan.
He says the experience is priceless & he wants to be great. —I’ll take a solid center for the next 5 years.
Noteboom got in against Da Bears last year as well as Allen. Both were equal as they never stood out either way.My concern is The Rams depth now .
I’m not a fan of Austin Blythe as a starting RG.
He did a nice job last season though in place of Jamon Brown who got released for Demby being a better option on salary cap.
I still have faith in Blythe. I know that he had a horrible Super Bowl, but I feel that shouldn't cancel out his otherwise outstanding season.
