now that he has 2 bionic shoulders he shouldn't fold like a cheap tent every time a dlineman challenges him.

Now we have to figure out what exactly to do with him. Would be awesome to see him healthy and productive for an entire year, but is starting him on this young line a good idea or not?
Lot of question marks here...

Saffold will provide options on the O Line this season. I still think when he is healthy, he is an excellent OG. We are better off with him this year if he is healthy.

Hopefully he can stay healthy.. but if not, Reynolds and Brown played pretty good last year and Wichmann looked good at times, so I think we're in ok shape.

I think it's him or Reynolds starting next to Robinson...They'll have nice depth with both of them around...

I would get him some playing time at center this offseason, and make him the 6th OL. You can't count on him to stay healthy for a full 16 games, and continuity is so important.

Just playin'. I love me some Rodger Saffold. Dude's a BEAST.
This is the year that he puts it all behind him and dominates.

Gonna be interesting to see how it shakes out. If healthy he is the best guard on the team right now. Maybe in a year or two that changes but it was only what 2014 that he was kicking ass at RG?

Saffold, when healthy, is the best OL we have had since Pace....which isn't saying too much now that I think about it...

When they started Reynolds at LG, the whole left side OL improved. GRob benefited GREATLY. No false starts or holding calls and Reynolds helped him with recognizing blitzes and odd pass rushes. Until GRob starts recognizing on his own I'd like to see the Rams keep Reynolds at LG. He's smarter than Saffold, and GRob needs a coach next to him for a while longer. Saffold is brittle anyway, so let him spell players off the bench. Rams OL the last 5 games was a vast improvement over the first 5 games. Its that "continuity" thing.
