Called the Nsekhe signing. He actually was functional in 2022.
Yeah but when you're 38 and after two years of tacos and burgers what type of condition is he in. Hope he's been training and all that.

Either way I am happy to see the additions. Hope it helps.

I was hoping for better. Nsekhe is a million years old, and Christian is a bust who has not been on an active roster since 2023 with only a few games started for the Browns.

My initial reaction is pretty...well, blah.

Vegas does not believe in whats left of our OL. The line for the Cards game went from Rams -2.5 to Rams +1.5 after the injury news.

Prime Orlando Pace was just waiting for our call, but we just chose not to sign him, apparently. . . .

He was on Browns practice squad for most of last year so he's at least been in football shape through January. But yeah as a lot of us know the older you get the harder it is to get back to something like that after being off. Hopefully he's been working out on his own. With any luck we only need him for one game as a starter and then can be backup/practice squad spot for rest of year.

Christian was also with the Titans all Summer, before being released in late-August.

So football shape should not be an issue.

Ty was solid for the Rams in 2022.
He, because of age, likely to the PS.
Christian has plenty of experience. Started, I think, 8 games for Houston last year. Most of his play has been at LT. If they can get him up to speed he should probably start next week at LT.

It’s really unfortunate that Acuri set the bar so low.
The fact that these two even move the needle for us is a shame.

It's really AJ's fault. Arcuri just did what most third stringers would do vs Hutch, which is get their asses kicked.

Not to condone it or anything. But it's not realistic to expect a PS dude to show up and stone a top edge. And Boom played about as poorly in pass pro too. So he deserves the ass kicking he's getting from fans as well.

Arcuri will pay with his job as per usual for those bottom feeders. I am pissed at how he played too btw, especially that fucking hold on the TD that had me raging. But in all this bs it comes back around to AJ letting the team down. And it is why I hope the Rams don't pay him.

I understand the struggles, but yeah….that face mask was tough to accept. I still haven’t.

It is the organization's fault for counting on Noteboom to be a serviceable backup, they should have learned by now that he is made out of glass and cannot be counted on in a pinch.

Nsekhe was a respectable backup, but that was a while ago. Christian is athletic, but he's always had issues with power. Lacks the sand in his pants.
