After OTA’s and 2 mini-camp practices it’s looking like this:
Jackson, Boom
Avila, Anchrum
Shelton, Allen
Bruss, Anchrum
Hav, McClendon, Arcuri
Obviously, camp and scrimmages with Raiders and Broncos could shuffle that RG pecking order and maybe even LOT, but this is my best guess as of right now.
And they may not keep 10 on the 53 which would send McClendon or Arcuri to practice squad.
Anyway, I love that above OL for both protecting Stafford and opening running lanes for our trio of RB’s. Coach Wendy is impressing me.
Offense will NOT be a problem for Rams in 2023.
I feel really good about the line.
1. Plenty of capable starters at every position. There will be competition for who starts at every position except RT.
2. Position Versatility: Other than RT Havs and Allen everyone can play at least one other position and play it well. We have tackles that can play Guard like Boom and Jackson and guards that can play tackle like Bruss, and guards that can play center like Sheldon and Avila.
3: We got some beef up front that should help the running game. The running game has been weak the last few years and the lack size and power on the offensive line is one of the primary reasons. We got the size to compete this year
4. We are experienced and we are young. There is a lot of upside that can be expected as these young guys learn the craft and develop their bodies they should get even better and when it comes time for the next man up that player will be talented enough to stay in the lineup
Stuff happens on rare occasions and no depth can overcome what we saw last year. But with an average level of injuries we should have a strong offensive line through the entire season. Now that is something to be positive about.
