The Oline needs changes.
Here would be what I would try:
Move Havenstein to LT.
Move Saffold to RT.
Move GRob to LG.
Here's why: Havenstein is a natural OT. He is not all that athletic, but I think technique and his length will help him on the Left side. He is Mr. Steady.
Saffold played a lot of RT in preseason, and played OT earlier in his career. He can handle it.
I just don't see GRob as being a very good LT. I'm beginning to doubt his IQ. I see so many mental mistakes. But he has enough experience to move to OG and I think his strong suit, which is moving people, will work better. Being on an island at LT is probably not going to be his place in the league.
The Rams have only allowed 13 sacks thus far, that's not bad.
GRob is making mistakes like they all are, but at least he's not getting the qb killed.
The problem is in the run game and they need to get better performance from Gurley.
He needs to help out the line by making the first guy miss, and showing better patience and vision in the hole.
Best,
