Say What - train ?
There has been some bad Centers with The Rams.Tell me how a 2 time SuperBowl team would sign a Center that was so bad,or a RG that helped The Rams & Jared Goff go to a SuperBowl.

it all comes down to Stafford, if he is who McVay thinks he is, good offseason, he gets hurt and we can kiss this year goodbye. One thing about Goff, the kid could take a beating and keep on playing. We shall see

i watched all the games, Blythe may be a great guy, but as a blocking center for a non-mobile QB he pretty much sucked, Goff was sprinting left or right all season as the middle of Rams offensive line collapsed

Blythe was okay as a RG because he had Sullivan helping him out
Sullivan had Saffold to his left so he basically focused all this attention to helping Blythe out when he didn't have anyone to block which happened frequently.
Plus Blythe is okay blocking on pass plays when he isn't being bull rushed like he frequently was when he was a center on third and long.
Blythe is adequate on first down and (second down plays under 8 yards) but absolutely horrible on second and long and third and long plays. Plus he is terrible on third and short plays.

Media guys only know names. Reality is we have four average-above average offensive linemen and then a battle at RG headlined by a former 3rd round pick.
The drive destroying center we had is gone.
Problems on offense last year:
C - fixed
WR depth/speed - fixed
QB play - fixed
Great off-season for the offense
Problems on special teams:
Coach - replaced
Coverage - drafted several guys who they project to excel on special teams
Great off-season for special teams
Replacements needed for defense:
Hill - already on roster and draft pick
Ebukam - already on roster and draft pick
JJ - already on roster
Brockers - already on roster and draft pick
Fox - draft pick
For offense and special teams it was an outstanding off-season. We will go from bottom third of the league in both to top 10 in both which is a big swing.
On defense the question for me will be could we have found another EDGE project for $5 million AND signed JJ for the money we paid Floyd? For this decision to work out we will need Floyd to at least repeat his performance from last season.
Questionable off-season for the defense - but should still be a top 10 unit

Yeah - GOFF OUT for 2 - FIRST & a 3Rd.
Mcvay was going to roll with a backup QB instead of Jared Goff as well.
—I like Jared Goff but obviously Mcvay was done with him. Still paying for Gurley as well. Once again all Austin Blythe’s fault & he only signs with the 2 time SuperBowl team.Wow - KC doesn’t have a clue.

Very shallow & drinking your home made Kook-aide. Might need to let things ferment before things make a better image ?

This off season started with previous drafts and player acquisitions. The Rams or any team can't keep all free agent players. The key is to have replacements really to play.
The Rams drafted Hopkins knowing Everett would not be resigned. Jefferson was drafted to replace Reynolds. Multiple safeties to compete for replacing Johnson. So they are ready to move on. Other previous moves setup for departing players
Stafford will lead the rejuvenated offense with multiple new speedy targets. Another possible solid draft. Considering little cap room the Rams should be ready for a SB rum.

Agree. The media are overrating Hill. You see it a lot when a player from a top offense or defense,
in this case , leaves their team.

The only thing McVay cares about is winning. There was no kind of scheme going on.
Goff is no longer here , because of Goff. It has nothing to do with anything else.
There is a reason why most of the team was disappointed that Wolford couldn't
play in the Packer game
Everything that has happened to Goff was brought on by himself and his lack
of 100 percent commitment to the team.

No problem if you disagree (really not sure if you do or not based on your post) but man....read that last sentence again. I have no idea what you're trying to say.

You're certainly welcome to disagree.
If you haven't read Lindsey's article, then I recommend it

This guy makes some good points.The videos were really good.Noteboom was blocking well.Austin Blythe was protecting Goff against GB who was 16-18 until Reynolds.
Dont need to read a article to know if a player is giving 100% of his commitment to the team or not. If jg wasn't 100% for the team he wouldn't have played with a broken thumb when he was on the way out anyway. He had zero reason to do that for the rams looking back in hindsight.
