That is absolutely brutal...

I am a huge McVay critic, but what do you expect any coach to dial up on offense when every single offensive lineman is getting blown up on almost every single play? Nobody can pass or run reliably like that. If you want to attack him for deciding to insert Avila and Jackson the same game, I guess, with already bringing in a new RT to replace Hav, fair enough. I certainly expressed those concerns will before the game.

EDIT - I give Jackson 1 more game at C against a "lesser" New England squad. If he does not look good, then I've seen enough, as he also looked bad pre-injury. The dude has never played C well at the NFL level. Call a spade a spade. We have two LGs that are not able to play elsewhere on the line. It is a huge problem cap allocation wise, but don't drag the team down with you as a result shoving round pegs into square holes, when Limmer is a viable option. Hopefully though with another week of practice beside he linemates, things turn around.

If Rob is out longer, can Avila play RT? I feel like the combo of A. Jackson-J. Jackson-Limmer-Dotson-Avila might be better than A. Jackson-Avila-J. Jackson-Dotson-Noteboom.

I hope the Rams are at least testing this out in practice. Avila played a bit of RT in college so maybe it is a option. But who knows. He played a ton of C in college - some scouts considering it his natural position - and apparently looked really bad there, necessitating the switch to Jonah Jackson at C and putting Avila back at LG.

you ran to this forum mid-game to gloat about the rams playing poorly? yikes.

Nah, I was posting in the GDT, so I was around, and they were so bad it reminded me of this post so I circled back to it. The post was not intended to be a gloat. Believe me, the Rams' o-line looking like amateurs it is not something I want to gloat about.
