The Rams had all five starters start every game this season (not including the season finale where 3 of 5 were kept out). Pretty sure they were the only team in the league to achieve that. And not only that but their starters played 4,585 of 4,776 total OL snaps in those 15 games- 96.0%. Blythe played 132 snaps off the bench and Williams 59.
To me the message is celebrate that but prepare for that not to repeat itself again in 2018. It's a rare feat. Improve your OL depth because you often need it in this league. And you probably need 3, maybe 4, new starting OL in 2019. Make no mistake, OL is a priority for the Rams this spring.
And by the way, Jamon Brown deserves a 2017 Rams 'Iron Man award' for playing the most total snaps on the team this year- 1,125 total (offense and special teams combined).
Exactly 93!! Well stated. OL depth should be a major concern next year. Has a team ever started all 5 for 16 games 2 years in a row?
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
