Have a feeling that Brandt is factoring in coaching & the fact that younger guys gained valuable experience last year. This is pretty easy, the Rams will either improve or they won't and changes will be made if they don't.
Center IMO is pivotal, some on this board don't think much of Austin Blythe and others including yours truly, feel Brian Allen would be better served if we just kiss and say goodbye. Austin Corbett at LG is not a masher, but in the zone scheme, could be very effective with the reach blocks and pulling on the sweeps.
Again IMO, OL Coach Aaron Kromer is one of the elite OL Coaches in the NFL and IMO, we are about to find out why and is the reason Gil Brandt has put the Los Angeles Rams on this list.
The reason Kirwan, Miller, Brandt can see promise in the Rams O-Line is that they know the NFL. They know that younger players usually get better with experience. That's what they see with the Rams. They have a lot of young linemen with some experience (they're not rookies), but a lot of potential to get a lot better. They could be wrong, but they obvioulsy see a lot of upside with the Rams O-Line.
Many fans watch a few games and will determine a paticular player sucks....and then that's it. He's then forever a JAG, he stinks, etc. There's an inability to recognize that most young players aren't instantly good players....and that that very often players get better with experience. That seems obvious, but for some there is a need for instant and final judgement.
