PFF has a metric that tracks the pass blocking efficiency for OLs. In the first 9 games the Rams OL was ranked 31/32. In the final 7 games, they improved to 25/32. Still not where it needs to be and not quite middle of the road but obviously improved.
Interesting, thank you. I would have guessed something like 18th for the final 7 games but anyway. Exactly, not where it needs to be by any means but it was better. I'd love to get back to being a top-3 OL like 2017 and 2018 but perhaps middle of the road (15th-18th) is possible for 2020.
I did a deeper search and I know why you felt they were middle of the road. The improvement was continuous and you're probably subconsciously remembering that.
In the last 6 games, the rank was 22/32.
In the last 4 and 5 games, they ranked 16/32.
In the last 3 games, they ranked 14/32.
So the way they were performing in pass blocking the last 20 - 25% of the season was middle of the road and trending towards becoming an above-average blocking OL.
