Well - yeah. I guess there is no longer a baker in the house!! That Raider game though Mayfield praised Brian Allen for making the calls on the Line.
—The Athletic is a paid for subscription.IMO Rodriquez or whatever her name is is sort of a sellout.I think the Media was a little tough on Mcvay.I’ll give her credit for some of her reporting though.
Saying Brian Allen was going to get cut in June was laughable with how young this Rams team already is.
 
Wow that list is pretty good and the one I think is going to be our starting day roster barring any injuries.

Surprised to see Yeast on there though! Honestly I know very little of him outside of drafting him the end of last year.

Anyone got more than the basic info on him?

Brian Allen may not start but he's still on his rookie contract so there is no reason for him not to make the roster. He would be a good backup. McVay's offense has changed since Allen was drafted. When they were running 90% outside zone Allen was fine. But now they have reversed it and run 90% inside and he's fine if he's uncovered because he's decent on the second level. But if he's covered like he wouid be in short yardage, then Shelton is the better option.

If McClendon can play as a OG then he would project as a RG and they could move Bruss to LG and Avila to center. But that is at least a year or two away.

Bruss or Jackson should be at RT assuming Noteboom returns to form and Jackson isn't at LT next year. Bruss would definitely be a change from Havenstein because Bruss has quick smooth feet. If Noteboom can't return to form I would be fine with Jackson at LT and Bruss at RT with McClendon at RG and Avila at LG. The optimal OL next year would be Noteboom LT, Jackson RT, McClendon RG, Bruss LG and Avila at center. Depending upon McClendon that could be an elite OL with it's run blocking strength between the tackles. Would they do it next year? IMO it all depends upon McClendon being able to make the transition to OG. Second best would be Avila at RG and Shelton at Center.

Regardless I think they have their OL of the future among the guys they have.

This year I see it as:
LT Noteboom
LG Bruss or Jackson
C Shelton
RG Avila
RT Havenstein

I think they will try to get Bruss ready at LG with Jackson at Swing OT this year and replacing Havenstein next year. With McClendon as a swing OG/OT and Allen as backup C/OG. The wildcard is McClendon. He could be a badass RG next year if he can make the transition. That would bump Avila to center.

Brain Allen is on his rookie deal?

I know everybody loves him around here for the most part but Hoecht at OLB scares the shit outta me. We're gonna get run at so hard right at him.
That's the prob with our defense. It's gonna take a bunch of guys stepping up to have a good unit. So it's not particularly likely even though a few of them probably will step up.

Hoecht is real stout but yeah his contain is shit. Not sure he can develop that, might be that he's just not mobile enough but worst case we will rush him on third down. I'm eager to get a look at a ton of these guys on defense though. Just edge alone is going to be enlightening come preseason. Hope they don't sit half of them though sigh.

He's gonna give those pussies from NorCal a nasty infection, baby! :cool:

Hoecht isn’t the long term solution at Edge. The Rams will either be picking up a FA Edge next year , possibly trading for one before the trade deadline this year or selecting one with an early draft pick. There are a number of good Edge players that are FAs next year. D Hunter, Brian Burns, L Williams, R Gary, N Bozo (69ers aren’t going to let him walk), J Allen, M Sweat, C Jordan, etc. I’d like to see Hoecht worked in as DE or rotation at Edge on passing downs.
