I think the Rams hit big on Edwards. In review of the film he was a bit up and down but he's just really good in both blocking phases. I'm even willing to subscribe that Evans will arrive at some point this year, in spite of some ugly film and knowing he's going to need some time.

But after that we have so many IFs on this line. So many. And being a fan has taught me that you tend to not get everything breaking your way. It happens like in '99. But usually not. Whit is gonna be 39 and behind him is unknown. Corbett is a patsy in the run game. Blythe is bad all around with the exception of line calls and comms. Hav has always been a guy who wins ugly in pass pro (i.e. quite average) and his strength was the run but if he doesn't get back to the guy we saw before we could be bad on both edges.

I'd say best we can hope for is a decent line, but the worst is quite ugly. So here's hoping Kromer is right.

I don't count on Corbett. If Hav returns to form---and he could if Hammond is right that the early substandard play was at least partly due to injuries--then I see Evans as the LOG.

I think the best we can hope for is a solid line. Better than decent, not just average. I don't predict top 10.

I also think they have interesting guys in the wings developing (though not for 2020): Trewyn, Anchrum, Brewer.
