and the dropoff to his backup is biggest

The Rams can get by with Westbrooks vs. Hayes at LDE. But the dropoff from Quinn to Sims is much bigger. Sims is not a pass rusher. Longacre is already a better pass rusher than Sims and Fox is probably closing fast.

Thomas is not bad at NT but I think asking him to play 50 snaps vs. 20 or so is a lot to ask. I would hope Brockers could at least split reps with him this week. He did workout before the Bills game so I would think a week later he could go.
