Rams' struggling offensive line will remain as constituted

Los Angeles Rams coach Jeff Fisher has "not given any consideration" to changing the configuration of his offensive line, regardless of the ineffectiveness that has plagued it.

Its most integral member, left tackle Greg Robinson, leads the NFL with 10 total penalties, a figure that includes those who have been declined. Five of the six offensive linemen who have received significant playing time rank within the bottom 48 percent at their respective positions, according to grading systems used by Pro Football Focus. And behind that group, star running back Todd Gurley is tied for the fewest average yards before first contact.

“We need to be more productive in the run game," Fisher told reporters when asked to assess his offensive line after Wednesday's practice from Thousand Oaks, California. "We need to minimize the penalties."

Fisher has publicly disagreed with several of the penalties called against his team this season, but the Rams nonetheless rank third in total penalties this year (68) and first in total penalties since Fisher's first year in 2012 (650).
