The Rams have a better line than the Jets, Vikings, Packers, Broncos, Bengals and Bears. WTH, this is a bogus list.
Yeah I don't get it, Jets oline has been atrocious so not sure how signing a usually injured Tyron Smith jettisons them up to top 6 status? Chiefs games I watched Mahomes seemed to be running for his life most of the time, Eagles lost Kelce, Joe Burrow always laying on the ground, Bears been the offensive laughing stock for years now. Meh, whatever. All subjective by someone who is guessing essentially so doesn't matter. I hope everyone keeps dismissing the Rams improvements.

Yeah - agree,but injuries were an issue with some of those teams.

Steve Avila has never played Center in The NFL.He was the Top Center coming out last season though & played at a high level.
-I always bring Noteboom in the mix,especially going into 2024,because last season he was actually an Excellent Swing backup T/G.

The way Dotson came on late & how much The Rams improved.Add how much Dotson got paid & the signing of Johan Jackson who has been an All Pro has to be built in.
Wendell-Kromer & Co also should get credit with the turn around.
-Kyren Williams wasn’t a All Pro by himself.

McVay is copying his good buddy up north in the way he is building this OL, and I love it. The only way to take down a bully like them is to bully them back. If the OL can gel quickly and stay healthy, it will create opportunities for the offense that we have not seen since......maybe ever.

In that vein, I really hope it ends up convincing Stafford to play another 5 years in horns and win at least one more ring. That would be dope. Can't wait to see this team on the field.

I love that McVay has beefed up that interior of the Oline but he's definitely not copying Ratboy. Their Oline outside of LT is full of average to below average players. We may end up with the best Oline in the NFL.

True until it really matters like the playoffs/SB. I feel there Oline along with their secondary has cost them multiple championships. Life is good :thumbsup1:

The only concern I would have is continuity. They have 4 of the 5 guys from last year returning. With one new guy. Although there will be two positions with Avila moving to center that will be different. I do not expect it to take as long as last year for the chemistry to work together. It could be good at the start since they'll all be together throughout camp. That wasn't the case last year with Dotson joining middle of the season.
