The reason Limmer can't block the run is because we are trying to run inside too much - interesting take.
That's not what I said. Rushing takes the entire offensive line, not just Limmer. Now, we know the Oline has had it's share of injuries, so we can't discount that. What I said is the Rams have very seldom run wide, they try to run inside almost exclusivley...and like I said, the Seattle game is where they really began to run wide.
I counted 4 offensive penalties negating 40+ rushing yards from Williams. Yes some rushes were no gain but that was a decent day otherwise.
Noteboom. 5th highest paid guy on our roster. They invested in him and he’s expected to step up in moments like this.
Ok. Do we discount the fact that the offense was missing Kupp and Puka until the Vikes game? I mean... don't teams look at those things? So let's not act like a full offensive attack doesn't help. Isn't that part of the uptick in the offense too....
I agree.
Dead money yes, saves $3.3 million in cap space next year if he is cut before camp next year.
I believe we are agreeing in concluding McVay has had to navigate both significant OL and WR injuries. IF (key word IF) we can get everyone back and the rust knocked off - we should see a much more dominant run offense and options for Stafford in the passing game.Ok.

Things are looking better on all ends because a team has to defend everything. They really started to take it to Seattle when McVay changed his offensive scheme and began to roll Stafford and run Williams wide...that's a fact!
If you're willing to spend $17 mil. on a starting caliber guard, you would keep him for depth if it only cost $3.3 mil.
I get it....depends if that money could be used somewhere else, like signing a FA ILB or CB.
I disagree with the premise here.. because I think the Rams run game.. and offense.. was built around the ability to run inside. Moving away from outside zone and move toward more gap and duo was the entire point.
It amazes me that we have a 10-year stalwart right tackle who is a borderline pro bowler, and people want to make out like he is some kind of weak link in our offensive line.
The only question concerning Hav is how long will he be a Ram? He's solid. He's been here since before McVay. He was here before Goff. We've had some high draft picks who didn't pan out and they weren't here long. If Havenstein wasn't a quality RT, he wouldn't be here.
