Football starts on the line of scrimmage.
Almost everyone on this board was worried about the OLINE for the summer, pre-season and now week #7.......
Everyone was worried about C and LG positions because the Rams were starting unproven rookies.
BOOM!......Experiment has failed and blew up in the Rams face........Now, all the Rams can do is clean up the mess, or we are in for a long season.
But they weren't starting unproven rookies. They were starting inexperienced 2nd year guys.
And the failure this year is the same as last year. This entire OL, tackle to tackle, has not played well against top DLs.
The real issue this year is that both OTs are playing below their previous levels. No one predicted that. Anyone trying to crow about how right their worries were in the summer are wrong--unless they predicted both OTs would slip. No one did.
I just see panic after one bad game. They don't play a top DL again for a while. So, I don't see the panic as warranted.
