Excellent as usual my friend.
But you offer me a little challenge and I accept.
Well there wasn't a debate. It was one poster who posted reservations about paying a big contract to a right OT, and then several people who objected .
But in fairness you don't have my position right. I never said Hav wasn't worth "it." I said ROT is not a position you use for one of your few big contracts.
Why not? Because solid ROTs like Hav are easier to find than most positions, if you sign Hav to a big contract you exclude someone else at most likely a harder position to replace, AND because Kromer has always fielded good ROTs who play well and he can do it again.
None of that was ever supposed to detract from Hav playing well. But you can bet that as long as they have Kromer, they will find and field good ROTs. So if you get only 8-9 big contracts when Goff is signed, you want to spend the others on positions more crucial than ROT.
Glad Hav was good on the 4th and 1 but the key block was Blythe, which is where Goff went. The entire OL fired off on that play. They were the ones who talked McVay into going for it.
If THIS post starts a debate I won't respond because it's not the appropriate thread for that.
Just clarifying what I said, which IMO you kinda got wrong there.
That aside...again good post, I always look forward to your game reports.
On the 4th and 1...my wife didn't see the game live so I re-watched it with her. I told her, I won't spoil anything, you have to have the drama. But when the Rams offense went back on the field to go for it, there was a shot of the Seattle defense milling around during the TO and looking at the Rams offense. I paused right there and said "does that defense look confident to you?" So she looked and after a sec said "no, not at all." She didn't know what would happen next, either. It was just a spontaneous reaction to the paused image on the screen showing Seattle defenders before the offense and defense set for the play. Yep. The Rams were up for that play and the Seattle players were not confident they could match them. If you have it on tv look for that moment.

On the play that defined the game, with all of the marbles riding on the 4th and 1, with the crowd willing their defense to make just one more hold, the rams line – and particularly Rob Havenstein – a player who was the subject of much debate this week on this board - absolutely CRUMBLES the seattle defense and paves the way for Jared to burst through. (Yes, Rob is worth it!).
