Anyone else not surprised Bill Murray made the Cut? I actually called this in a thread last Friday. Or at least said I was pulling for it. To be fair, he is probably only holding a space until Trost or Dedich returns from injury, but I was still pleased to see it. I think he was our single highest rated player of the preseason according to PFF, for whatever that is worth. I think he scored a 93 against the Saints. Its highly likely we need to replace Avila or Dotson after this year, so a promising young OG is a good thing to have. Anyone else have any thoughts about Murray?https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1251353,1251353#msg-1251353Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:16:05 -0400 Phorum 5.2.18 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1251353,1251648#msg-1251648 OL Depth is a legit concernhttps://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1251353,1251648#msg-1251648

Graded out the best in pass protection and run blocking, however, I expect both Dedich & Trost to be activated after 3 weeks at the expense of Murray & Dylan McMahon.

I hope that they keep the right OL player here (Murray?).

Are we all that confident in Dedrich and Trost? I doesn't seem like the bar is set all that high, imo.

They probably subtract Murray due to drafted high archy and they see these guys all the time but I'm still wondering what else a guy like Murray needs to do to make it?

OL Depth is a legit concern along with WR coming in a close second for me. The quickest way to derail a season is having too many OL injuries. Alaric's possible suspension is also a concern too. We just might need some of that depth to step in this year and play well if we want our SB season to roll on.

Do we have enough depth? Is that depth good enough to fill in "this" year?

I like Dedrich but think is only average right now but we might be ok with him. Trost, imo, was the benefactor of draft hype by many Rams fans and I am not sure he is ready to step in "this" year.

Next year, our entire OL, or is 4 out of 5, will be FA's. Did we address that aggressively enough? Maybe they plan on resigning or bringing in new OL next year?

Having said that, it seems like we have one of the better OL coaches in the league with coach Wendy. :beercan]]> Ramsdude RamsFootballFans.comWed, 02 Sep 2026 08:00:08 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1251353,1251638#msg-1251638 He could potentially be a replacement for Avillahttps://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1251353,1251638#msg-1251638
If Murray is actually as good as he appears to be, he might become Avilla's replacement at a far lower cost.
Yes, it is premature to count on that, but the Rams certainly noticed what was apparent to many of us in his preseason play no matter who was in front of him. And, we don't know how he faired in Scrimmages and/or snaps with the 1st team Oline.

29 is definitely not old, but he doesn't have many miles since he has been PS on every time he has played for. We could theoretically get 4 years out of him.
