This is a pretty good overview of where the OL stands.
*If* A-Jax & Havs can take a full season, I think we go deep in the playoffs.
*If Not* we have DJ & DQ to back up both positions -- something I hadn't considered until looking this over. I would think that we can still make it to the post-season.
My only (?) left is Shelton. PFF says he was better than Limmer, but how much? and maybe his main area of improvement is line calls, so 9 can save more of his bandwidth for what he's seeing at the line. Here's hoping. Because we've had a gaping hole at C since Sullivan left.

Another camp another complete lack of knowledge on what the OL is going to look like week one. Good times.

Are line calls more important than blocking skills? Coleman Shelton May be good at line calls, but his blocking skills are way below average. At least Limmer usually kept his guy from bull rushing Stafford. He gets because of one play after doing a pretty good job all season after Rams coaching screwed the pooch at center.

Rams OL is NOT in good shape. Humphries is over the hill and Shelton is probably the worst blocking center in the NFL.

P.S, the sky is falling
