A below average pass blocker and an average run blocker and now it seems like we’re doomed without him. I like Jamon he was a good guy but this romanticizing former Rams never fails to amaze me.
O line backups?

What about Greg Robinson?? Oh wait ??
Who did The Rams draft for him ?? In trade to Detroit
I also would feel more comfortable with at least one veteran backup, but last season our backups were all rookies. Noteboom, Allen and Demby were the backups. Given that Noteboom and Allen are likely starters this coming season, I hope the coaching staff adjusts their thinking and brings in a veteran backup interior lineman.
How so? Because I said this would be a lot easier if we still had him on the roster? Some of you are so overly critical on this site it amazes me we still have people who want to come here and post.
Not sure how can compare the two ... One played at a high level on one of the best olines in the NFL. The other not so much
Yes they both signed new contracts to start this offseason. We let both go and both have moved on and been paid. We didn’t miss a beat losing either of them in fact our line has been among the leagues best since we moved them.
Jamon Brown ?? Didn’t Greg Robinson sign a new contract to play LT ??
Say what ?? Beckham ??? Will see if he does better with Robinson than with Brown blocking for him ??
The Cleveland Browns have re-signed OL Greg Robinson.
Robinson joined the Browns last season and appeared in all 16 games, starting the final eight at left tackle. Cleveland surrendered just five sacks during the second half of the season -- the lowest of any team in the league -- compared to 33 in the first half. Robinson protected for QB Baker Mayfield, who set an NFL rookie record with 27 touchdown passes, and opened holes for RB Nick Chubb, who set a Browns rookie record with 996 rushing yards.
Originally selected by the Rams with the second overall pick in 2014, Robinson has started 56 of his 68 career games with the Rams (2014-16), Lions (2017) and Browns (2018). He is a native of Thibodaux, La. and attended Auburn.
In addition, the team has waived WR Daniel Williams. Williams spent the final four weeks
Well let’s just say that Les Snead & his scouts know talent.Weather Greg Robinson should have been drafted that high is another thing. Young offensive lineman take time to develop.
And as we’ve seen with free agents we’ve signed sometimes players need a change of scenery or a coaching change to realize their abilities. GRob May develop into a pro bowler, but what we saw here with the Rams that seemed unlikely, same with Jamon.
I’m not a big fan of Austin Blythe as a starting RG. I believe he helped to the Super Bowl lose. Watch the last 5 games. He was not impressive at all. The Rams need an upgrade & Noteboom should have been starting.
Will see what happens in 2019 ?
Yes it seemed to me he and Sullivan wore down or tired out. The super bowl emphasized that.
Yeah - Inthink He is on the lighter side. I actually like him at Center, but there are some around here that think the opposite.
I’m not sold on Allen, but here we go again with younger O”lineman. Allen being a 4 year guy though vs Brown & Robinson in college.Think there is something to be said about that.
Will see about demby as well. He is going into his 2nd year with Kromer. I think he has a little Nasty to him, which I like. He foot work &
Knowledge will be key. Think it goes foot & foot sort of say.

Demby will also need to get stronger and in better physical shape. If he does so he has the footwork and the hand and eye coordination to be a quality lineman.
Brown is more a power type scheme guy who is iffy in pass pro. He wasn't a fit especially with FA pending. The hand wringing over his trade is a bit too much IMO.
Rams are finishing a retooling of the line this season and will be just fine.

Hate to say it, GRob had all the tools to become a HOFer, except one...He was dumb as a bag of hammers...
I hope your right on this one only time will tell but they need to get some more help for the OL in April, if Bradberry is there at 31 they can't pass on him.
The release of Jamon Brown was surprising, but to keep Demby played into it ? He was a FA who The Rams were not willing to pay , plus special teams.
The Rams against the Bears only had 7 lineman with Allen & Noteboom the subs. They both played. Noteboom for Saffold & Allen for
How does that look to you ??
I don’t see it !! This season is one thing, but then again Whit,Saffold,& Sullivan have been the core. Blythe I hope isn’t the future, & Big Hav is fairly solid as a RT.
I can’t tell you who the backups & even the 2 backups as starters ? Is Noteboom a LT or LG ? Will see what that looks like when Whitworth is gone. Then again maybe he plays for another 3 years. Jackie Slater kept Contemplating retirement.
It's been rehashed a thousand times but Browns release was two fold. First was cap implications we needed space when we traded for Fowler. Brown was a backup the other possible cuts were starters so that was a simple and easy solution. Second was as we've seen already this off season and last year the coaching staff feels Noteboom is and would be better than Brown. Add in we had Demby, or could get him back along with Neary and cutting Brown makes all the sense in the world.
