So that was last season.Here's an article from May of 2023.
Alaric Jackson says he prefers LT but he's willing to play G if necessary.
Quote from article:
“I love playing left side, honestly,” Jackson said, via The Athletic. “Tackle is my thing, for the most part. I understand that they paid Joe, so I get that whole part. But whatever I can do for the team, I’ll do for the team.”
Alaric Jackson prefers to play left tackle but is willing to play guard, too
Alaric Jackson revealed that he’d prefer to play left tackle for the Rams, though, he’s willing to play any position the team needs him to.theramswire.usatoday.com
—So much has changed.Jourdan said it was Noteboom who was going to play guard.I totally disagreed Which is fine now.
My point though was always Alaric was the better RG.I hear some posters ??? Say move Steve Avila to RG ??? That’s if Dotson leaves ???
Who knows now ??? There’s a lot that goes into it !!!! I mean we have all seen what we’ve seen.
My case was always that Anchrum STINKS(no offense).Got in trouble about been Sko as a WR last year.My point was special teams was his ticket.He proved me right & wrong.If Pucka wasn’t Pucka The Rams would have been in trouble.Plus D. Robinson was solid.Add Johnson who I LOVE!! He imo is the better wr,but been Sko is such a solid blocker & continues to work hard as a WR.He was a TEAM CAPTAIN!!
Anchrum on the other hand ?? I’ll just leave it at that.He played one play in 2022 & if Alaric Jackson(Noteboom) both stay healthy The Rams imo go to the PLAYOFFS!! There’s a lot of other IF’s & what happened in 2022.There was a lot of similarities,but BOBBY EVANS was not the answer at LG !!! Either.
This year 2023 almost became the same thing.Anchrum was counted on when needed.Noteboom NEVER got healthy,until late.
Alaric Jackson in training camp sort of became 1 !! They were The LEFT SIDE of the Offensive line. My POINT still being Alaric Jackson is the better RG !!! He & Avila are the better LEFT SIDE!! Noteboom did well against The Giants & is an Excellent backup LT !!!
Once again things have changed in a way.Noteboom became a GOOD ROTATION GUY.He is HUMBLE & a TEAM (WE) Player !!
( ??? Injury Oldbutnotdead?). He hurt himself & played through an injury for The Rams to get to the playoffs.I don’t or haven’t heard about what that injury is & what his future is because of INJURY?? Anyone ???
Still when Alaric Jackson didn’t play the 2nd HALF of CINNCY !!
My question IS & will ALWAYS BE !!! WTF was Zach Thomas playing LEFT TACKLE??
I CALL BS as well on the 2023 season!! I can go on. Will put this & continue on my own 2023 Ramble.
Short answers was that last season (2023) not to be a Richard without explanation.
IMO Alaric Jackson & Steve Avila have a GREAT WORKING RELATIONSHIP!! It should continue at least until 2024.Joesph Noteboom is an Excellent backup LT & now swing player.
POINT though is if Mcvay or Wendell want to play ZACH THOMAS at LT or BOBBY EVANS at LG The Rams & Matthew Stafford (Cooper Kupp ) they might as well call it a season.
Add that having your BEST 5 together doesn’t always work.
Zach Thomas is a GUARD at Best ?? IMO Bobby Evans was a backup RT. His long arms is what protected him.Jared Goff could step up and throw.Then you had Corbett & Austin Blythe.That niner game still gets me.Blythe picked up the blitzing LBer & Goff had a easy TD to his guy in Detroit. He checked down instead & a Safety(LBer) took it to the house.
Oh well ?? Alaric Jackson was The Rams Best RG imo until Dotson was traded from Pitt.
He still was,but that LEFT SIDE is important. Still Noteboom does a excellent job protecting the blindside.
