I think having consistency and health early on would go along way into getting the unit starting fast.
Wendell took over in '23:
LT- Camp battle between Noteboom and Jackson. Jackson wins, previous year Noteboom.
LG- Drafted Avila, replacing Edwards.
C- Camp battle between Shelton and Allen. Shelton wins, previous year Allen.
RG- Noteboom takes over. By week 2 he's missing time. Dotson takes over by week 4.
'24:
LT- Alaric misses the first two games. Had an ankle injury in TC.
LG/C- Tried slotting Jonah at LG, and Avila at C. A week or 2 before the regular season they swap. Jonah had an injury in TC as well. Only plays the first 2 games. Avila leaves week 1.
RG- Dotson ankle injury week 1, plays through.
RT- Havs missed all of August, and week 1, with an ankle injury.
This season it's looking like at least 4 starters are in place. Hopefully they make it to the regular season healthy.
Very well put,better than myself.
Just(in) missing something.Dedich & Limmer kept The Rams a live.There was debate about C/G.
Dedich got 3 starts as a Ram(UDRFA)Not to Mock Bubba Ram,but here is another one of those types The Rams find & make work.(McSnead)
It’s a hard call,but just having The Depth The Rams with there O’Line coaching staff is Pretty Rad Merlin.
Posters can talk all there Smack,but bringing Shelton back makes a lot of sense,all around.
IMO Beaux Limmer is a big STRONG guy.He isn’t like any of The past C/G. The cool thing here is he can probably swing out to Guard.This is only going to make him a Better Player !!! Zak Kromer is still in his post helping w/ Munch!!
I drink the KOOL-AIDE!! Just to get it right JOSEPH NOTEBOOM was a DISASTER !!! Blame Big Whit for some of that.He needed to step back from a coaches standpoint,not as a player & friend.
-The bottom part is only added.Noteboom was in 2 Superbowls as a Ram if you need a bright spot.Winning a Ring.
