I formerly wanted the Rams to get Incogs (if they didn't get Greg Robinson).
But as a player he has two big problems
So, after thinking about it, I have only two reasons NOT to like him for this Rams team:
a) he misses a lot of pass blocking assignments for veteran, and smart player...this means "I don't care, I am so good, and I wanna get high tonight, and then hit the bars". You read the reports on him, and he was just a good time party boy. [So was I for 20 years, but I wasn't protecting a $15millon QB]
This man lacks accountability. Spags, maybe not a great leader, but still Cogs didn't respect him....and that never changed (see 2013 Dolphins)
*If I remember Cogs had a 31 (or 28 at lowest) on the Wonderlic...he is pretty smart from an IQ perspective...and he switched between center and guard seemlessly...
b) Team Chemistry: Rams can't afford 'missed assignments' from veterans...they have enough 'young & inexperienced' play from McCleod and WR's.
He is a great run blocker, and when focused has everything he needs to be an very good pass blocker. UNDER achievers are ok on great teams like Seattle or Greenbay, where the QB can make up for the 'missed' assignment. The Rams don't have that luxury at QB with Sam B or HIll.
I must have grown up to consider team chemistry so important.....I am proud of myself....I must pat myself on the back now!
I should be called "Mr. Bold" and mister point a) and b)
