I still believe that Anchrum will start due to the fact that he’s the only one who has actually practiced at RG for the Rams this whole preseason.

I mean, that could be true. The competition isn't as black and white as some people's anxiety make it out to be. My guess, the chances of Boom starting at RG are high, call it 70% but that still leaves a 30% chance it's Anchrum for the reason you mentioned.

What has Shelton done to win the center job? I haven’t seen any reports that Allen has fucked up this training camp. I’m not anti Shelton and want the best man to play, but I think Allen will get one last chance to prove he can be healthy.

I keep thinking the same thing, but I believe Jordan, who keeps saying Shelton.

Continuity is important. Allen gets a swollen knee after a few games

Not sure why this board is so obsessed with moving Avila.

He was drafted to play LG.

Noteboom getting moved to Guard is getting tested at RG even though he’s comfortable on the left. Why? Because Avila is the LG. Moving young players so much hurts their development IMO. Notice our best OL (Hav) has never been asked to play anything but RT?

Draft a center or RG. Leave Avila where he’s at. Let him become a pro bowl/all pro LG

Jourdan or some others speculated that Avila would eventually become the Rams Center. But they were talking about next season or later. That could be it. He played some center in college.

Wait, I'm sorry, when has Jourdan speculated that. She's been reporting pretty consistently that the Rams see Avila as their dominate LG of the future and most recently on her latest pod.

shortly after the draft. It may happen but isn’t likely to this season.

She can speculate all she wants, I speculate also, doesn’t mean that’s what will happen. A speculation is a guess, and in this case that all Jordan is doing….Guessing.

Not if the Rams have anything to say about it. Yet another article today from Jourdan about the Rams being determined to give him snaps at RG with the eye towards him starting now that his shoulder is healed.

I'd love nothing more than for the Rams to be rewarded for their Boom persistence and belief with him playing RG at a top level this season. But what I expect to happen is he will look like shit, then he'll get hurt, then the Rams will do what they end up doing every time they have tried to start Boom, which is cycling through depth to rectify a situation they should have seen coming.

Fair analysis.

Joe Noteboom feels fully healthy and '100 percent comfortable' at right guard now

Joe Noteboom missed about a week of practice with an undisclosed injury, raising some questions about what was going on with the veteran lineman. Sean McVay has still not said what Noteboom was dealing with, only saying it wasn’t related to his Achilles tear from last season,…

So do we see?

LT Jackson
LG Dotson
C Avila
RG Noteboom
RT Havenstein

Or more likely:

LT Jackson
LG Dotson
C Allen
RG Avila
RT Havenstein

Swings: Noteboom, McClendon, Shelton, McAllister

If they do it this way then Noteboom probably would move to RT next year.

Hey, I do fanfiction! Pokemon fanfiction mostly, but I've got a Warriors fanfic, two Dragon Quest fanfics, a Mass Effect fanfic, a Fossil Fighters fanfic, a Nexomon Extinction fanfic, an Animorphs fanfic, a RWBY fanfic, a Monster Hunter Stories 2 fanfic, and a Redwall fanfic.

...Yes, writing is my hobby as well as my job. What about it?

Haven't seen either television show, but you really should read some of my stories. They should prove that I have the biggest imagination here.

And that’s why Dotson is with them now, imo.
