KC had to reshuffle it's entire line because of an injury to Fisher in the Buffalo game. They weren't up to it. This is apples to oranges and has nothing to do with the state of the Rams O-line.

PFF season rankings had the Rams 2 spots ahead of the Bucs at #3. Of course we didn't have Tom Brady.

We need a more physical center, some more maturity and consistent play from Edwards and Corbett and we should still be pretty good. Whit and Havs both had solid seasons statistically - why blow that up?

After watching last nights game I think outside pass rush is our biggest need.

I’m confused, promo. Are you saying that you’d be satisfied with extending Blythe for C and maintaining the status quo on our OL?

If so, I disagree. A deep playoff run demands better play from our starting C at the very least.

IMO, that’s merely a good start. Whit is slowing down and Father Time is undefeated. He’s still an above average LOT but not nearly at his former All Pro level. So it’s just a question of time before he needs to retire and I’m thinking this is his last year.

After those 2 it gets subjective, I guess. I favor replacing Hav (and his salary) but others may feel differently.

Yeah, we can beat average teams with our current OL, but I want to be able to beat top playoff teams on the road to the SB and these guys just aren’t good enough to do that.

Wouldn’t it be a shame for a team loaded at so many positions and carrying so many humongous salaries to fall short because of a mediocre C and maybe a poor pass pro RT? Think about that for a minute. It’s an extreme example of ‘penny wise and pound foolish’, if you ask me.
