Doug Free trade?

[ram007]

Doug Free is a solid right tackle. Cowboys have Laell Collins turning heads. Would like Rams trade with Cowboys a 3rd or 4th round pick for Doug Free?

Nah. Let the kids play.

I think Havenstein is going to be fine at RT. No need imo.

Agreed. Also, never thought Free was a "quality" OL. Definitely the weak link in the cowgirl line.

 

[BonifayRam]

Sure think that other more desperate teams with much bigger needs @ ORT than the Rams. They will pay the price the Cowboys demand.

Rams have a talented cadre of young OT's. Some of them we have not seen play ORT yet like Isaiah Battle & Cody Wichmann. We know that Big Rob Havenstein is holding his own thus far & they have Andrew Donnal right behind him. Then add the veteran multipurpose OL'er in Garrett Reynolds in ready position if a problem does come up.

Lets see what this new top shelf OL'ers mixer does first.

I am not sure about Rob H. And this OL has ZERO depth. What do Rams if a starter goes down for 3 to 4 games or longer?. I was thinking from that perspective

Battle will just step in and be a beast. I hope. We have a lot of young talent. We need to develop them, not replace them.

Just hearing Collins' name makes me sick.

Perhaps next year. Seems pretty weak right now.

If an injury does happen though, it will likely be later in the season and he should be stronger at that point. He's athletically gifted for sure and hasn't looked too bad in preseason so far.

Either way, I think the Rams have faith in their depth now. Don't see us bringing in any player.

I liked this so much @BonifayRam that I had to say it once more:

Think Battle takes over starting RT job halfway through season if Havenstein can't cut it.

 

[PFaulk]

Wouldn't that make Ron Leary the casualty?

These guys don't need more depth players, IMO. They need experience.

 

[fancents86]

I like to think our Oline will hold up, but then I remember we have to play the entire AFC North and also The hawks and cards. This will be a HUGE test for them.

I like what he says it's just there's one thing missing in it....there's still no quality C on this team. That was the main thing I wanted in free agency. I think the center position is grossly underrated. I think people will see a glimpse of that with Seattle since they traded their Pro Bowl C away.

 

[LACHAMP46]

there's still no quality C on this team

yeah....funny that they wouldn't spend a couple picks on some wild cards...and Wang isn't a wildcard, he's a hope & a prayer...

Hey, hey, hey...no...respect the Wang!

 

[ChrisW]

I'm not at all worried about our tackle positions (LT more so than RT, actually). I'm worried about our guard positions. I'm hoping Wichman can step up and take one of the back-up spots. That should help out tremendously. If Saffold can stay healthy, we should be ok in the long run.

 

[dieterbrock]

More concerned about C and OG
OT I think we're ok

 

[shaunpinney]

I think we'll be ok - will Barrett Jones slide over to Guard?
