It was my understanding that the first team OTA's left side first team was Garrett Reynolds was in for rehabbing starting OLG Rodger Saffold & Brandon Washington was in for the rehabbing Greg Robinson. I have no ideal who was the 2nd team OLT was I just suspected it was Darrell Williams.That is a good question, was GRob held out entirely or just some? I honestly can't recall I just remember a presser where it was discussed that BW was doing 2nd team LT work.
At this time I do not see Brandon Washington beating out Barrett Jones or Andrew Donnal for a roster spot. For BW to make this team he will have to improve greatly in many areas. I have maintained that BW is a much better left side OL'er than right side. BW best NFL position is @ OLG. But the real issue for him firstly is BW has a near pro bowl caliber Rodger Saffold firmly cemented into that post. Secondly The next in line appears to be veteran swing man Garrett Reynolds who has 6 NFL season under his belt with 27 starts & playing in 52 NFL games. BW has only one NFL game under his belt. Thirdly BW will enter free agency after this season.Say we run GRob-Saffold-Center-Brown-Havenstein then reserves could look Washington LT/LG/RG, Reynolds LG/RG/RT, Wichman RG/LG/RT Backup C which all seem able to play C/G
As you noted Rams Org. invested by utilizing two 2015 draft selections in 2 OG's (Brown & Wichmann) Throw in 3rd yr versatile OL'er Barrett Jones & the OG posts has a ton of competition.
That would be the best Williams could hope for.As an UDFA would D Williams last on the practice squad?
Sounds like you have an excellent game plan here!Battle on IR with some trumped up injury
As I said earlier its possible that Andrew Donnal could surprise Boudreau & make a decent swing OT for him but he is the only Ram OL'er that comes close in that ability.I just realized I went through that whole thing and don't have Donnal accounted for
I sure would think that would be a very good ideal, Fisher has kept 11 Ol'ers at times too.Do we up it this year with the inexperience of the OLine and keep 10 instead of 9 like last year?
