Rams PFF grades: Best and worst performers vs. Chargers in Week 17
Check out the best and worst performers from the Rams' loss to the Chargers, according to PFF
That's great for a backup, imo..Ty Nsekhe is now rated 36th among all tackles at PFF. Havenstein #27.
With 2 tackles per team… around #32 would be league average for 64 starting tackles.
Look we need big upgrades at these positions. Especially LT and LG. Shelton or Allen at Center, Brewer or Bruss at RG and Havenstein at RT.Two months from now.......
Can the Rams afford not to have a 2023 contract offer to UFA LT Ty Nsekhe.
LG Matt Skura might have also earned some serious consideration for a backup interior OL position (LG/OC/RG)

We can't pretend that any combo of what we have is good enough because it's not.
Resigning both are no brainers to me and a possible major mistake if they don't.Two months from now.......

This is problem with moving Shelton to C right now.Look we need big upgrades at these positions. Especially LT and LG. Shelton or Allen at Center, Brewer or Bruss at RG and Havenstein at RT.

Carberry also might be planning to attack the OC position by throwing a large net too. Might resign UFA's WWC's veterans Skura & Toner to go with Shelton/ Allen plus the drafting of a young talented future starting OC in the draft. Going in this direction is the plan I would sign up for.This is problem with moving Shelton to C right now.
I prefer Shelton at C but moving him then weakens the LG spot.
If the Rams land a FA LG that is an upgrade Im all for moving him to C, until then, can't see that making sense.
I guess Nsekhe's not doing as well as I thought he was. Well, I still think he was a great pickup for us. Our run game has had a definite upswing. We've seen how valuable and hard-to-come-by competent OLers are.Ty Nsekhe is now rated 36th among all tackles at PFF. Havenstein #27.

I believe that Ty Nsekhe PFF grades for his six 2022 season starts vs Joseph Noteboom's six 2022 season starts would be better. Plus Noteboom's average annual salary is $13.4 million whereas Nsekhe's $1.1 million.I guess Nsekhe's not doing as well as I thought he was. Well, I still think he was a great pickup for us.

C - Allen, Shelton, SkuraGoing into the off season:
C - Shelton, Allen, Kolone (?)
G - Bruss, Brewer, Anchrum, Kolone, Jackson (?)
T- Havenstein, Noteboom, Arcuri, Thomas, Jackson (?)
That's 11 guys and we know they'll have at least 15-16 by the time mini camps and OTA's start.
So will it be via free agency? But who? A center? A guard? A tackle?
Feel pretty sure they're going to draft an OL or two? Who?
And I'd bet my house they're going to sign a couple of UDFA OL.
Every year there are a fair number of Ram fans who say, "they gotta go OL early and often" and every year they don't. There's something about their OL philosophy that doesn't jive with Rams fans philosophy. They seem to like Anchrum and Brewer. Arcuri is a possibility as a backup. Thomas? We know they like Noteboom, Bruss, Jackson and Shelton so I would think if they're all healthy by August, they're all in the plan. It's going to be interesting watching for a UFA pickup and then the draft.
I like the center from Minnesota (Bradbury) in free agency and the OG/C from TCU, Avila. He's versatile and big 330 lbs. Has played both positions effectively well. 3rd round? 4th if we can trade down a bit in the 2nd and pick up a 4th? Of course I don't know crappola about all the prospects, so there's obviously others who can be had in the draft.
Those are the options & how The Rams decide is another story.Kolone won’t be back & a couple on the list are FA’s. Those will be the biggest questions.The health & risk will depend what Rhe Rams really have to decide on how many O@Lineman they want.C - Allen, Shelton, Skura
G -Shelton, empty, Bruss, Anchrum, Skura, Jackson, Brewer, Thomas
T - Havenstein, Nsekhe, Jackson, Acuri, Thomas, Brewer, Noteboom
12 guys that I can see.
Assuming Kolone, won't be brought back and Noteboom won't be ready near the start of the season.
I would love to fill the empty G spot with a FA starter and maybe another FA as well along with a draft pick or two.
With Noteboom's injury one that could potentially make him miss time early in the season and Jackson having issues with blood clots, I'd bring Nsekhe back just in case those two have setbacks.Ty Nsekhe is now rated 36th among all tackles at PFF. Havenstein #27.
