This Article Came out before Greg Robinson started the last 2 games so the G.R part can be taken with a grain of salt. As we have seen he is developing nicely and seems to already be an upgrade over Joseph quieting those of US that have expressed concern.
As for our man Barksdale, the dude just plays and keeps his nose clean. He is the exact kind of O Lineman I love. The kind whose name is seldom uttered during a game not for penalties not for missed assignments, whiffs or other blunders the guy just plays consistently well.
I am a little surprised at our overall #11 ranking.
11. St Louis Rams (13th)PB: 22nd, RB: 7th, PEN: 14th
Stud: A Raiders reject come Rams right tackle, Joe Barksdale fell into the job and hasn’t looked back since. He’s our top-ranked right tackle and is punishing defenders in the run game. Possibly the least known of the Rams’ line, but playing the best right now.
Dud: You could blame Greg Robinson for only earning 10 snaps of action, but it’s the play of Davin Joseph that stands out when you look at where plays tend to breakdown on the line. Guards shouldn’t allow that much pressure.
Summary: The team probably expects more from the left side of their line, who while fine, haven’t played to the stellar levels their price tags would suggest. Other than that, the bonus of Barksdale offsets the disappointment in Robinson nicely.
