OFFICIAL OL injuries and recovery

[Elmgrovegnome]

Week one was an absolute disaster on the injury front. The kind of disaster that derails an entire season. Bring back guy early, thus leading to more injury, out of desperation is something to avoid.
McVay tends to not give much help to backup players on the OL. Baffling but its what he does.
With some film on these guys other teams will really mix up looks and blitzes and probably really cause 2022 type issues.
McVay will have to find a way to keep balance in play calling while also offering some things to stretch the field. f not the field just keeps shrinking and they crowd the box against the run first and then the short passes second.
Not an easy week.
I wish Pete the Cheat was still around for McVay to kick around......I guess the Cardinals will do.

All of those injuries and the nearly beat one of the top teams in the league.

Noteboom hurt his ankle on the first play I think physically superior players overwhelm Noteboom and it leads to injuries.

I think Noteboom playing at all in regular season games leads to his injuries.

We got the Cards, Bears, and maybe a Packers team without Love. We still have a chance to hit the bye with a 3-2 record. No need to panic right now as hopefully we have EVERYBODY back after that.

Never a reason to panic. There is a reason the games are played. Not that I'm wishing it, but other teams that we play could have injuries that impact them as well. We could also catch teams on a shitty day. Football just has too many variables to flat out say oh we're going to lose when looking at it on paper.

I believe there is a lot of truth to this. He is actually quite serviceable vs the speed rush type ends. But put him in there vs a power edge and it's a fucking prison shower scene.

Schefter reporting Puka is week-to-week. Thank fucking fuck.

I thought they put Puka on IR yesterday.

They did/will. McVay confirmed it yesterday. ScotsRam's post is 22 hours old.

BTW, it's almost certain they will do the same with Avila.

Dylan McMahon
LARCenter#63
Rams signed C Dylan McMahon from the Eagles’ practice squad
McMahon’s agent Whitney Holtzman broke the news on her Twitter account. McMahon was a sixth-round pick out of NC State this year and has the ability to play all three interior offensive line spots. The Rams are looking to add depth to the interior of their line after losing starting guard Steve Avila to an MCL sprain in Week 1 against the Lions.

McMahon signed. That's a start

Not a bad pickup for backup center/emergency guard. Could add a bit of thickness to his frame but had an average bench/agility tests. Not much to go off of but here's some college tape.

Hope he brings that music with him.

Agreed, I spoke about this in previous years with Noteboom. He constantly gets overpowered, overreaches, and extends himself which leads to leg injuries. Some people are just built different in positive and negative ways. In reality we need to cut ties with boom even tho he can be serviceable at times.

Text was enough for me.

Very interesting addition. Wondering if we have a new Center depth chart going forward.

Not easy to find tape on NC State without watching full games but here's a good cutup vs a good defensive front:

True.
Im not upset at the loss, the injuries are frustrating and will be hard to sustain high level of play for long.
But, they did bring in some guys today, so, we shall see.
Best case the Rams beat the Cardinals, very possible, and then start getting some folks back.
