Well, If this is going to be Andrew Whitworth’s last season it seems like a great time for the Rams to win another Super Bowl!!!

I'd love to be able to send him out like that, well deserved. I might even go on the ledge and say he thinks of himeself more as a Ram now as far as career goes and if he wins a ring thats a for sure thing.

You just have to look at his contract to know the Rams weren't going to keep him next year. That's why I've been saying all along that Noteboom is their LT going forward. They are making a mistake by not extending him now. Why wait and give his agent leverage at the end of the season. Extending him now will be cheaper than after the season.

They should release Havenstein and say goodbye to his matador blocks and play Noteboom this year at RT. He's a far better pass blocker than Rob and would protect Stafford a lot better. It would also clear about $5M in cap getting them under the cap with a couple of million to spare.

It would also make sense to play Shelton at center, Evans at RG, and Corbett at LG. This would allow them to use Edwards as their swing OT to take over RT next year. After that, they have Alaric Jackson to play swing OT. Jackson has talent he's just painfully raw and needs a redshirt year on the PS. They also have Brewer to play swing OT if they want to keep Edwards at OG.

Hmmm not sure I agree with any of this. Are you talking about extending Whit? Or noteboom? If you're talking Bout whit I'd say he's a little long in the tooth do do an extension even a one year rental. While I do agree Boom is the apparent LT of the future I do not agree he's a RT. One thing boom struggles with is the bull rush. He struggles with big strong guys. He constantly got pushed back and couldn't anchor when playing LG. While it is a different position I would imagine anchoring on an island at RT would be even harder than doing so at LG. Anyways most bullrushes on lined up against the RT and the technician over the LT which boom is much better equipped to handle.
Putting in Sheldon at C? Why? Has he proven anything in the NFL to give you an idea that he would succeed there? If so show me. Corbett well lucky for us he can probably play any interior position and probably play it well. While he didn't have a flawless debut season at RG he was pretty damn good. Evans at RG is the only thing I agree with. If anything Evans is the future RT so it makes sense to line him up next to Hav. Who btw had a pretty good season last year.
