Say all you want about Austin Blythe.
I know he was & is a solid player.,not necessarily a starter at all. What I do think with all the Blythe bashing & the Creed should have been drafted.
Austin Blythe I’m sure helped Creed out a lot his rookie season as he did with Brian Allen.
He never cost The Rams much in salary,but he always did out play his contract. As for Tutu ? Time will tell,I thought Creed should have been the pick. I’m not big on Smallish NFL players.
Tutu has good hands & tracks the ball well. My hope is he develops into a player like the KC WR who is a Star.
I probably have to remind you that when I reviewed Bylthe's play, he was a capable center on 1st down and 2nd down and less than 7 yards

But he was a terrible mess on 3rd down and longer than 8 yards and 3rd and two yards or less (especially against bull rush nose tacklers).

Well there is a lot that goes into it,but yes I’ll agree for the most part.I just think he got blamed for more than what maybe he should have.

I’ll also say there are a lot of players unnamed that will be in The Rams picture that your crystal ball doesn’t see.I’ll just stick to mine & know Sean Mcvay is developing players & The Rams offensive line next season will have more of the core coming from in house.
- Coleman Shelton played well.
-Bobby Evans isn’t going anywhere for another season.
- Terrell Lewis having more time to rehab & learn behind Von Miller will pay BIG DIVIDENDS.

DD21 played his way onto the roster one way or another? RR31 should be the next CB up. Totally agree.

Rapp ? I just see him running to the ball late always.He makes plays,but without his injury The Rams don’t go or win the SuperBowl. Having Eric Weedle was a blessing.

Um - my crystal ball?

The only position I am having any issues with is center.

I am worried that we may not be able to sign either Allen or Corbett.

Who will be center next year?

That's not a crystal ball.

That's just a worry.

If we had Creed - I wouldn't be worried one iota (unless he got hurt in preseason with no time to train his back-up)

Well Coleman Shelton filled in for Brian Allen. Austin Corbett is not a Center unless the are serious injuries game day.
I know both players are FA,but obviously The Rams have not put a lot of emphasis on the Center position.I have been one of the biggest posters since The Rams got rid of John Sullivan.Then again I was never a Brian Allen fan & the timing of his signing & the fact The Rams passed on Humphries for Tutu Atwell was a little concerning.

I have been working too much

I got Coleman Shelton confused with Austin Corbett

I like Shelton as a back up. I am not sure he is going to be a good starter

And who else do the Rams have that could play center

And if you say Evans I am going to scream
