What happened to our OL?

[So Ram]

I concur here and I believe going with 8 OL allows the Rams to carry 3 QB's & 8 WR's although they might classify Harris as a TE. Chandler Brewer could also make the team, being that he can play both Tackle & Guard, whereas Arcuri is a tackle only, but when it shakes out unless the Rams add another OL from someone who is cut, it should shake out this way on the final 53.

1. Joe Noteboom
2. David Edwards
3. Brian Allen
4. Coleman Shelton
5. Rob Havenstein
6. A.J. Jackson
7. Tremayne Archrum
8. A.J. Arcuri

Well I disagree with Arcuri being just a Tackle,but hopefully we don’t find out to soon.
So is this the last time we see
Evans as a Ram?

 

[So Ram]

Agree on the 9 OL'ers at least for the first few weeks after the season starts.

Ref. your second sentence ...me too.

If the Rams go with what @den-the-coach is suggesting with only 8 OL'ers, and all primarily OT's ....... the plan would have to be for Carberry to flip 3 yr starting LG David Edwards to starting RG & put in a call to Andrew Whitworth in preparation to start the rest of the season @ LG next to Noteboom. Carberry will be in trouble for a reserve center if either Allen or Shelton are hurt.
Answer to your question on OL'er Jeremiah Kolone ....absolutely NOT!

Only agree with the Hell no comment,nothing really else.

 

[BonifayRam]

If this were the 2023 season and not 2022 then I might be more convinced that Snyder, Kolone or a new Center were ready to assume the reigns. I agree that Shelton would be our first man up for Center if Allen goes down, but then our interior becomes extremely vulnerable unless it's only for a game or two. My concerns revolve around OL injury, depth and an ability to prolong Stafford's career with a viable rushing game. If there exists a quality interior OLineman available for trade, that gives us a jump on probably losing Edwards to free agency after the season, might save on a potential Shelton injury, could easily help our run game, and gives our younger depth players (Snyder) an improved opportunity for development. jmo.

Ref Jack Snyder being an LT for all of his starting seasons now moving inside is a big step for this UDFA. I have watched & rewatched all of his snaps in the first two preseason games, though not many I can say he is very stout & mobile plating inside. All his blocks were effective. He was playing next to rookie LT Arcuri last Saturday late too. It would be a terrible shame to keep "less than JAG" Kolone & then suffer the loss of Snyder.

I just see no way that Snyder can be protected. No doubt in my mind Jack Snyder will be on another NFL roster this season very quickly.

To your point on the highly probable loss of LG Edwards in March UFA'cy just makes the keeping of so many OT's on the roster appear like a bad decision. I have not been impressed with OT Alaric Jackson's work @ RG in the preseason no matter what anyone says. Even Tremayne Ancrum admitted he has underperformed.

8 OL is too low a number for a team that wants to contend. So I agree they go with at least 9. But when your 9th and 10th OL options are noticeably worse than the bottom feeders of other position groups you have what is called a hard call on your hands.

So I'm in that camp that favors picking up a budget addition from that last round of cuts. It's dicey when you are the champs and have last claim, but wait and see if you can get lucky there and if not then make a trade to upgrade that group and maybe add a player with a couple years of control as well.

I believe Snyder has a pretty good chance of making our Practice Squad, so I disagree on that. Arcuri likely makes the 53 as our RT reserve with Alaric Jackson returning as a LT back-up. Evans must go and we don't have a clue what Pircher is capable of. There's a better than even chance that the Rams acquire a waiver wire cut OLineman, although that's for developmental purposes imo. If the Rams choose to really improve our OL situation, it requires a trade in my estimation. jmo.

7 position battles to watch in Rams' preseason finale vs. Bengals​

7 position battles to watch in Rams' preseason finale vs. Bengals

With only one preseason game left, there’s a lot on the line at these seven positions

RT: A.J. Arcuri vs. Bobby Evans​

Arcuri and Evans might be battling for the final spot on the offensive line. Arcuri is almost exclusively a right tackle, whereas Evans can play guard, too, but it’s Arcuri who’s played better this preseason and might be in position to secure a spot on the 53-man roster.
Evans played every snap last week against the Texans, typically not a good sign for a fourth-year veteran on the roster bubble. Keep an eye on not only how the two of them play, but the number of snaps they get. If Evans plays every snap, whether at guard or tackle, it could be Arcuri with the advantage heading into final cuts.

As you can see I am very positive about Interior OL'er rookie Jack Snyder & his abilities demonstrated in brief series on the field.

I sure hope you are correct!

Me too !

 

[den-the-coach]

So is this the last time we see
Evans as a Ram?

I certainly hope so.

 

[oldnotdead]

I've been high on Snyder since he was signed. I've seen the film on him and he's a good prospect for the interior OL. Arcuri is strictly PS level right now. He's definitely OT not an OG and would make the PS. Arcuri at OG would be playing him out of position as he would have the same problem as Edwards, too tall to consistently play low for leverage. Jackson is definitely on track to be the swing OT this year. Interior OL is where the competition is.

Teams keep 9 on the OL because they are trying to protect a developing player. Snyder fits that description. But is he starter ready? That is the question. Teams keep 8 on the active roster because that is all they can dress on game day. That's why they stash maybe two on the PS as disaster contingency. If you are going that deep during the season the OL is in serious trouble anyway.

 

[So Ram]

I’ll disagree with oldbutnotdead with Arcuri & AJ Jackson.

Then again BubbaRam saved me from jumping off the David Edwards being an excellent LG.

I’d say though I like The Rams depth upfront & ready to see what if looks like with Oldnotdeads yet favorite player & Big-Time Rams mentor Rob Havenstien.(rams without Whit).

I also heard last night & know if The Rams need Big Whit like they did Eric Weedle he will be ready

 

[OldSchool]

How funny would that be. They cut him we turn him into a good backup guard.

Yes and @Loyal might be your next President. Some of these articles man.

Arcuri is the easy keeper if it's down to those two.

ShitshowTimes I mean TurftoeTimes eh you get the picture.

 

[PhillyRam]

We did see starters vs Rams 1st team D in TC and they held up well. They think they have at least three who can step in if need be and not lose continuity. Anchrum, Jackson and Acuri. I would also put in Brewer.

I still worry Allen and Shelton beside each other is smallish and may get pushed around.

You will probably see Allen & Shelton doing more doubling to help each other. So Edwards needs to be able to handle his guy one on one. The pressure is on him I would think.

 

[RAMSinLA]

A pro bowl super bowl winning quarterback and a treasure chest full of receivers and great play calling can make any offensive line look great....

 

[BonifayRam]

It's a well-proven impossibility that Bobby Evans has the desire, the interest or the skill to be able to accomplish that.

This is a really simple no-brainer when selecting between Rookie AJ Arcuri or the now 4th yr OL'er Bobby Evans why burn any time or brain cells? AJ Arcuri is the far better OL'er.

Make better use of your valuable time Carberry to figure out who will be your 2nd team reserve center during the weekly practices & it better not be Jeremiah Kolone.

Carberry must secure a worthy potential "coaching soaking" 2nd team reserve OC on the MR53. It also can't be Coleman Shelton because he is the starting 1st team RG.

I see no real reason to award any of the other RB's besides Henderson/ Akers/ Williams an MR53 position. Save your invaluable MR53 positions for your more crucial & problem units to keep better-skilled players. Prioritize & maneuvering around that important OL for QB Stafford.

I am sure better RB's will be waived by other teams than what we have seen thus far so we can add them to the PS & work them into our offense as the season moves on. Snead needs to have his scouting personnel looking under every rock for this upcoming 2023 draft for a few very good RB's next season!

 

[den-the-coach]

IMO, Bobby Evans issues has been never getting his body in shape for the next level. Just an observation, but I really believe when you are at the next level, everything has to change including your diet and workout regiment.

Evans seems overweight or it's not distributed properly, which is why he struggles with his footwork in pass protection. Again you have to evolve physcially & mentally to be successful at the NFL level, that is where Evans has failed and I can't believe he's never tried to be involved when Whitworth was holding workouts in his garage, nope Evans was heading back home to Texas for too much sweet potato pie in the off season.

 

[So Ram]

Whatever it is today’s game will show enough to have more ideas about The Rams depth & future upfront.

Williams I hope make the O’Line look fantastic

I don't recall mentioning Evans... I said Edwards.
