Offensive line depth was a problem going into the season. We are immediately down both starting guards. With LTs (blood clots) and RTs (old and becoming somewhat injury prone) that could be ticking time bombs. Thankfully, we avoided serious injury to Avila and Doctson, though smaller injuries can become lingering and also limit performance, unfortunate to already be dealing with them going into week 2. Tennessee could a tough draw. They gave Denver all they could handle. On the road.

Hopefully Snead can pull another Doctson or Corbett move. Go get a vet that shakes looks for whatever reason and fits our system.
 
Jesting aside, I watched the OL play closely during the game and when Limmer came in he did well at both guard positions. I also watched Shelton closely. He got stood up on the QB sneak play and it was the reason it didn;t work. He also got stood up several times.

JMHO Limmer is a better player. Of course the trade off is Shelton is better at line calls Just wondering how long that will last. Anyone notice who the first guy off the bench or the OL was? If either Avila or Dotson can't go next Sunday, I'm guessing Limmer will start in their place.

I don't understand the grief Limmer gets. He was asked to fill in at the last minute last season and played his ass off. Yeah he missed a block in the playoffs and took a lot of shit and didn't say a word at his demotion. I saw him work hard in TC. they guy is a player. I think he will be a starter sooner than later at either G or C.

I think if everyone is healthy, Limmer will be the interior backup , just as planned.

I don’t have anything against Limmer and he was very good in the run game. But he got worked over more than once in pass protection. Bad.

Earlier today, thought about the injuries to Avila and Dotson; and considered that ... maybe ... it would be nice if the Rams still had Jonah Jackson.

Tonight, as I was watching the Bears/Vikings game, I found myself focusing on Jackson at Right Guard.

I'm not sure what the appropriate technical term would be ... thinking either Yuck ... UGH! ... or Ick.
Jackson was absolutely awful ... in the run game, in pass protection, when asked to block on-the-move, or when it was power against power ... otherwise, he was solid.
