I don't want to be an Avila and Shelton apologist (the weak links) this season but maybe we should let the whole healthy line play together for a few games after just getting Hav back and having Avila out for a few games.

Also, I'm not big changing the guy who snaps the ball to our QB midseason with as decently as the offensive line is playing in pass pro.
My biggest thing would be the continuity... and the whole "perfect is the enemy of good" thing.
The Rams Oline is good right now.. and has quite a bit of continuity. McClendon was really solid as a backup at LT.. I think there's some interior depth that's decent. Biggest fear would be backup LT.

To be clear... that's all about in-season stuff. In the offseason, looking for upgrades would be good. Going from very good to dominant would be fun. But.. in the meantime, let's enjoy how good they're playing... from The Athletic today:

Sunday represented the first time they’ve had all five out there since Week 1, and it was the first game where all five played the entire time. Stafford took two sacks but just four total hits. His sack rate over the past two games is a minuscule 3 percent. And now, his season-long sack rate of 4.5 percent is his lowest since 2013, or eight years before the Detroit Lions traded him to the Rams.

I'm not seeing a lot openings for impact on defense. What kind of situational piece do you have in mind?
I don't really know - I just figured it would be easier to add a piece to D than O but I may be either underestimating what it takes to get on the same page defensively or overestimating what it takes offensively. I just bet that Les feels like this team is right there and if he can use a 2026 pick to get closer to a title - he is going to want to.
 
Spinal fusion sounds nasty. Can't have enough corners though.
