QuoteAlbaNY_Ram Of the red guys only Longacre is a starter. Wilson is starting while Barron gets ready. And the prevailing thought is that Blythe is now the starter over Jamon Brown.

QuotedzramsI don't know. I don't see $36-$39M as a ton of cap space.

QuoteLMU93 He's 32 in January. Unless he'll take another one-year deal I think you move on. 32 is not the age to give a big contract extension to a DL. It gives them more time to develop good alternatives behind him. I don't think he wants to sign more than a one year anyway. He has said that he will play 10 years and then consider bailing. 2019 would be his 10th year. But no you doby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro was that Goff was one of the best if not the best at it he ever saw at the college level. I think he mentioned Blake (Jeff Blake?) as the only one better.

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram In a separate thread Sun Tzu pointed out that the potential loss of Suh and Joyner might result in 3rd and 4th round comp picks in 2020. The more I see, the more I think that is an integral part of the plan to sustain this team. The key, of course, is to continue to draft well, but if the Rams can let a couple guys play out their contracts and leave each year, and then replaceby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM Goff is not really a 'worry' of mine... but there ARE things about him that are nagging me. Right now I see a 'kid' out there who really isn't a 'leader' yet.

QuoteLMU93 To me that's the question. Assuming Blythe is the starting RG now, and also assuming McVay and Kromer want to rest Sullivan midweek like they did last year and give the backup center the starter's work on Wednesdays, who is that guy? Blythe or Allen? That is the guy that would step in if needed. Kidding. The "Blythe is playing too well to sit" argument is a good one.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteden-the-coach Quotezn If Blythe plays then if Sullivan goes out the replacement is Allen. I think they only keep 2 linemen on the active list on Sundays. I like the idea better of Brown playing and Blythe being the active G-C-G back-up. But the Rams aren't returning my calls so who knows if that will happen.

Quoteden-the-coach Austin Blythe is a brute regardless of size, that moving pancake block on Gurley's score as time expired just before half, was a thing of beauty and should be put out there as a "How To." block and control the line of scrimmage.
