They are naming starters early and developing a cohesive #1 unit.
That doesn't mean they can't change a spot in the process. Like if Evans falters there are guys behind him.
What all that means is
1. this constant, universal cross-training we saw in previous years is over. Some depth guys will cross-train, obviously, cause (for example) you need Brewer to be able to play both guard spots and ROT. But the 5 starters are set in their positions and are working together toward unit cohesion. Before, everyone cross-trained.
2. There is no one behind Corbett, really. I base that on hunches in reacting to things they're saying and not saying.
You believe that coaches are ‘all in’ with Corbett at OC? That Shelton, Allen, and Anchrum are merely relegated to backup OC candidates?
Yes. I think they named their number 1s and unless someone falters that will be how it is going forward. That is a huge advantage. No longer cross-training all the #1s will do them a world of good. It will allow much greater unit cohesion.
BTW no Rams source has mentioned Anchrum working at center though on paper it makes sense.
As it stands today, I think Allen and Shelton are subpar (and the Rams know it).
....
So...
You’re saying that the Rams have put all their ‘starting OC eggs’ in the Corbett basket?
To the point that they ignored highly rated OC’s in the draft that fell to them despite lacking faith in Allen, Shelton, and Anchrum at OC? If true, what do they do if Corbett gets injured?
Does that sound like prudent decision making by a very smart FO?
