I think the ripple effect of upgrading even one OL spot can be quite a bit- combined with assumptions that Edwards and Evans develop further. A lot of questions and options though.
Overall I think their OL played much better starting with the Chicago game- so the final 7 games. You can even go back to the Atlanta game though vs ATL and CIN they were playing against really poor defenses. But still. It was the first 6 games that things were really ugly and they improved from there.
The new OL could not handle high pressure teams any better than the 1st-6-game OL could though.
Same stat applied, early or later. If the Rams gave up 8 or more pressures they went 2-6; if they gave up 7 or less they went 7-1.
But at least with the new OL they showed progress. We know they're "there" when the new OL rarely allows 8 or more pressures.
