Is that McVay knows his skill positions. He has reloaded this offense a bit on the skill side, and prioritized that this offseason, so the question is whether that bites him in the behind.

If the OL is good he's gonna look like a genius. If the OL is not good he's gonna look like a non-genius, a group that includes tons of creative coaches who didn't have the guys up front to allow for all those grand schemes to take shape.

But when it comes to the skill positions... The Rams will rebound from Gurley just fine. They'll rebound from Cooks just fine.

All that aside the article could have been stripped down to this quote IMO:

"2018: no. 7 in pass blocking, no. 1 in run blocking
2019: no. 29 in pass blocking, no. 26 in run blocking

Without blocking, the Rams offense unraveled. The running game evaporated, dropping from almost 5.0 yards per carry in 2018 to 3.7 yards per carry in 2019. Their play-action passes became less effective."

Very well said Sir. IMO, the OL is the key to our season. If our O is "rocking" that will take some pressure off the D and give our new guys some time to learn.

HOF'er on the DL, HOF'er in the secondary...now we need a HOF LB'er too! Whose gonna step up?!?!?!

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
