Just asking the question, for those of you who have taken the time to observe the OL.
I know it’s current conventional wisdom on ROD that Blythe is the weakest link on the OL. For those of you who have watched him... are you sure you agree? Do you remember particular games—or particular plays—where Blythe got crushed?
I only ask because I know many have questioned Edwards in pass pro. And I certainly remember plays where Hav was whipped by the speed rush. And is Corbett truly good enough to be counted on?
I know many of you have a low opinion of PFF. Having said that... I noticed that PFF gave Edwards, Blythe, and Corbett almost identical overall grades: all were rated at either 69 or 70. But everyone is still sure that Blythe is inferior to the other two?
Lastly... again, taken with a huge grain of salt... I was pretty shocked to learn that PFF rated the Rams as having the THIRD best OL in the entire league this year. Wow! They sure didn’t look like it to me. Maybe the run blocking was good, but the pass blocking seemed awfully suspect.
Anyway... I’d be glad if the Rams somehow upgraded the OL. I’d just be curious to know if people strongly believe that the quality of line play is clearly in this order:
Whit
Hav
Corbett
Edwards
Blythe
Thanks for input, and again, comments about OL play from specific games would be appreciated (I might re-watch some games)
Here is the PFF link, for those who wish to complain about it
