The line was pretty good this past season. Better than the past few seasons. If it ain't broke....

And PFF had him 19th. IMO it doesn't really matter these ratings are tools not a defining metric.

I will say, I think I may have made a mistake with McClendon that I moved away from with Shelton... I concentrated more on play that didn't wow me than what stats were saying and while I generally think that when stats and anecdotes compete, you go with the anecdote... oline play is a little different than elsewhere. A win/block is a success no matter how it looks, even if a guys being pushed back to within a foot of the QB so maybe it's worth being open to not being absolutely wowed by some of these guys if they succeed in the block consistently or at a league high rate.
Rams had #1 yardage offense in the League last year. Rams had #1 scoring offense. Stafford had MVP season. Shelton was the "conductor" of the OL.
Ability to make accurate line calls is of course NOT a stat and is hard to quantify on film. Shelton was doing something right to contribute to all that.
I for one would be shocked if Shelton is replaced or gets beaten out. He will be our starting center again next year.

Dedich played Center in college with six starts.
Since he's a game day active, he should be the backup Center I would think.
Actually kind of ideal size for a Center at 6'2 and 310.

He filled in first at LG didn't he... it didn't look great. And the year prior he did some very nice things physically at center.
Which way western man?
East side or West side Limmer looked very bad. Now he is better at Center than Guard, but the Rams decided he was not playable and made sure Limmer was in inactive most of the year.
