I would agree with CoachO post here. Very well said
I see seven sure Ram master roster OL'ers with Wells & Barnes @ OC. Joseph, Saffold & Robinson @ OG's. Barksdale & Long @ OT's. I do expect 10 OL'ers maybe 11 (due to the serious recent injury history to the above listed five of the seven)to be on the finale master roster.
With top reserve young vet center Tim Barnes being able to play three interior OL posts & Robinson able to work @ left OG/OT diminished Boudreau's need for a back up OG very low....not good for ORG Travis Bond who has surprised most but the Rams already have Saffold & Joseph & even Barnes who could fill in here. IMO Bond needs to show he can handle the ORT post too to seal the deal on making this roster. If Bond could succeed in that he would be the #8 Ram OL.
Undersized Mike Person can play all five OL posts! Another plus is he is one tough dude who from what I can find has no injury history in college or in NFL. Another good thing going in Mike's way is he is consistently lining up as the Rams #2 OLT thus far in 11 days of camp sure helps his cause & value if Barrett Jones is IR'd, Person's ability to play center also will increase his value. I would say he is in a good position here.
The lost of center Barrett Jones due to injury is not a big deal to me. Barrett could go IR then return back after the bye like Scott Wells did last yr. Right OT Sean Hooey plays basically one position just like Joe Barksdale does. Hooey's size alone @ 6-9 305 pounds & still growing will bring interest for the future plus add that ORT Barksdale is a UFA after this season...Boudreau has a high need for bona fide reserve @ ORT. If Barksdale was to go down the only real OL'er that could be inserted @ this post is Saffold....Saffold is not that good @ ORT!
So @ this time this is how I see our OL:
ORT- Barksdale/Hooey
ORG- Joseph/Bond
OC- Wells/Barnes
OLG- Saffold/Robinson
OLT- Long/Person
Practice Squad: OT Mitchell Van Dyk & OC Demetrius Rhaney
