Suh-weet!
I'm simply saying that on the issue of Blythe v. Allen I feel much more comfortable going with the judgment of THIS particular set of Rams' decisionmakers than with yours/any-number-of-fans//PFF's/a-veteran-scout's. You could be right! Maybe Allen will be cut and prove himself the much better player at some point, but... I doubt it. I don't have a strong personal feeling either way, but, FWIW, if I had to choose one or the other on the basis of what I've seen I'd also go w/Blythe.

But even this group CAN make mistakes...we will see how it plays out, but my issue is this when people say this something like this " Maybe Allen will be cut and prove himself the much better player at some point, but... I doubt it." and use the "Rams know what they are doing" as the defense, ask yourself this:

Why is there a problem to begin with? Neither Allen nor Blythe are great---whicgh means there is a problem at center which Rams did not address. So, if they are so smart then why is center an issue? Let's say I am wrong...even the most ardent Blythe backers don't think he's good, just slightl better than Allen, who those same people think suck.

No, I will go with the info of people that have been in business a long time, who made the Timmerman>Wiegert call 20 years ago...best case scenario is Rams have a problem at center and that is no confidence builder in the "current set of decisionmakers" who have us in cap hell, BTW

  Austin Blythe expects to be Rams' starting center this season

RamBill556July 28, 2020 10:35AM

  If so, Allen will likely be gone.

  Show me PFF Grade on Blythe for Center Only.

den-the-coach186July 28, 2020 11:32AM

  It's more than that: in general Olines and Olinemen get better with time

RockRam177July 28, 2020 11:40AM

  Sure, buy Hav regressed, and Whit is getting old

JimYoungblood53173July 28, 2020 12:43PM

  Havs did regress. But the issue is why?

RockRam161July 29, 2020 06:33AM

  I don't know why

JimYoungblood53140July 29, 2020 08:44AM

  True. But I don't think cutting Havs would offer much cap help

RockRam140July 29, 2020 09:02AM

  I agree, cut him when it makes sense, not before

JimYoungblood53134July 29, 2020 09:16AM

  No way

  2018 is not 2019, that was then, this is now.

JimYoungblood53154July 28, 2020 01:34PM

  Well...

Suh-weet!159July 28, 2020 02:43PM

  That's the flaw

JimYoungblood53150July 28, 2020 02:55PM

  So who is the 1st unit OL? (nm)

RockRam165July 28, 2020 11:52AM

  Here's my own guess

  Hav’s play at RT might dictate the starters at both OG positions...

Rams43153July 29, 2020 06:38AM

  starters at guard

LMU93139July 29, 2020 07:18AM

  Re: starters at guard

zn165July 29, 2020 09:55AM

  Edwards is a lock at one guard

ferragamo79153July 29, 2020 12:28PM

  As much as I like Edwards at guard, I still think he would be better at Tackle
