Every team in the NFL has the same problems with injuries and the OLine. It's all part of football. "

Here's what I am saying and you're not accounting for.

Whenever I talk about OLs I refer to them being relatively healthy. As in yeah for the most part you gets some dings on OLs.

BUT THAT IS DIFFERENT from the kind of massive, extensive, multiple simultaneous injuries of the kind the Rams OLs have suffered in most years since 2006.

And no most teams do not go through that. If you believe otherwise name examples.

IF you do not account for that distinction (relatively healthy v. massive, extensive, multiple simultaneous injuries of the kind the Rams OLs have suffered in most years since 2006) ... then in all fairness you are not responding to what I am actually saying.

I even pointed to 2 teams that are exceptions because they have qbs whose particular skills allow them to still play effectively when their OLs fall apart to that extent (Seattle and New England).

I also said that injuries were not the issue in 2016.

So anyway no it is simply not true that (1) all teams have extensive OL injuries like the Rams have had most years since 2006), or (2) when an occassional team DOES suffer OL Injuries that extensive that they manage to play well (though I named the Seattle/Patz exceptions).

So again, you didn't respond to what I actually said. No most teams do not have recurrent line crippling injuries to the extent the Rams did in their worst years from 2006 on. Unless you can name me some examples.
