How does Eric Banks make the final cut?

Imagine Aaron Donald's speed, quickness, and technique; J.J. Watt's length and power; and Vince Wilfork's run-stuffing ability. That's Eric Banks. Have I seen him play? No. But hey, there's a very, very, very slim chance I'm right. :ROFLMAO:

Not heard of Tremayne Anchrum getting in any work @ OC during camp. I have read where TA has been working in four OL posts. Most of his work has been on the left side primarily @ LG but has had some time also @ LT post. It would not surprise me if he sticks he will see some future work @ center. TA's actual height is 6-1 5/8ths inches tall. Add in the fact that Austin Blythe our starting center will be a UFA this upcoming March.

Rams have 3 OC's currently with Blythe, Allen & Shelton so there is no real need for TA to have a crash course @ OC this season. I am very happy that the Ram Org. has decided to keep him on the MR at this time. Sure looks like OL'ers through-out the NFL at this point have increased in value. I have not seen too many OL'ers with any real value being on the WWC line @ this time.
I'm stoked that Anchrum made the cut. Our OG depth looks good, question is the starters. :biggrin:

Yeah, some fans never understand that if they don't read the article.

"The difference between the Jaguars and Falcons is only two years. So what?"

While two years may not be a monumental difference between two individual players, keep in mind that these are the average ages of 53 players per team.

2 years on average * 53 players = A difference of about 106 total years between the Jaguars and Falcons.

In other words, if you took the 21 oldest Falcons players and shaved 5 years off each of their ages, they would still have an older roster than the Jaguars.

I agree fully with your assessment of the Rams OG depth.

Having a rookie OL'er like Tremayne Anchrum.... Kromer can have both over 6-6-Edwards(RT) & the over 35 inch armed Evans(LT) to concentrate fully on those two OT posts due to the past unhealthy & pass blocking deficiencies of Havenstein & advanced age of Whitworth. TA gives Kromer a real strong generally good all-around young blocker to groom once Noteboom moves left a few feet to start.

Kromer is betting big that Joseph Noteboom can be an upgrade over Austin Corbett & David Edwards @ LG. I mentioned it earlier this past week it might be that Andrew Whitworth wants JN by his right side over the other OG's who played there last season (Demby/Edwards). That was the initial 2019 plan last season but that early knee injury caused them to reset & rethink it enough to resign Whitworth to try a do-over of that 2019 plan with JN.

Having an RG like Austin Corbett who showed last season he was fairly competent in pass blocking something that his partner @ RT Hav is not. Hav was constantly beat silly with those quick inside pass rushes & having an AC instead of a Blythe/Demby/ Edwards trio showed signs that AC is very smart & quick in identifying those pass-rushing tricks by those smaller tweeners. Teaming AC with Hav could be a good tandem working together in the pass-blocking snaps. It was near impossible for the super short armed Blythe to assist Hav out on those inside pass rush.

The left side OL should be an excellent pass blocking duo lacking in the run blocking though. Protecting Goff's blindside has to be still high on the demands of McVay. He might be planning to utilize what Goff brings to an offense with his quick pin point passing arm & go heavy with those short to the medium passing routes now that he (McVay) has Goff surrounded with a boatload of sure-handed outstanding route runners available.
