Rams betting big on young offensive linemen after unmatched continuityNo team in the NFL had better continuity on the offensive line than the Los Angeles Rams last season. The same five players started every single game, from Week 1 to the Super Bowl. Andrew Whitworth, Rodger Saffold, John Sullivan, Austin Blythe and Rob Havenstein all started every game, missing 141 total snaps out of 1,100 in the regular season.
According to ESPN Stats and Info, that group was on the field for 1,155 snaps together (including the postseason), which is the most by five offensive linemen in the last 10 years. By every measure, it was the most consistent and reliable O-line on a week-to-week basis, doing an excellent job of protecting Jared Goff and blocking for Todd Gurley.
