These could be our G and C next year. Going from Fisher press conference he likes both them a lot. What do u think.
I agree but would like at least 2 of the first 3 picks used on big uglies and a linebacker. After that then they can draft some more linebackers and o linemen!Id prefer to draft or sign more talented guys than those two
THIS! What in the world has Jones shown to receive such praise?A coach saying he likes his players a lot doesn't mean much to me. I'd like to know what Fisher's seen from Jones to justify the praise. He's been on the sideline for most of his stint here.
Barrett Jones was a 4 year starter on one of the best college o-lines I've ever seen and he won every award a college lineman can win. I'm excited he's now healthy and getting his opportunity.

I am honestly not that concerned about the injuries, other than depth issues if further injuries occur - this is assuming that Saffold plays this week.I am still reeling from the OL injuries. It's a massive hit to this team. Saffold is unfortunately a key for us, if he's gonna be out for any length of time we're screwed, the interior of the line will be overmatched by most defenses.
Jones... Just let the guy play and let's judge him in a few games. Keep him at center, where his intelligence can be best served with him making the line calls. Dropoff from Wells to him may not be significant just gotta wait and see.
OT is going to be fine. GRob and Barks are both starer level talents.
OG is the problem. If they need to go with Person and Saffold they might be ok. Saffold is the key.
I think for the long term that is correct...not so sure about the short term though, if for no other reason than our lack of depth at this point.I am honestly not that concerned about the injuries, other than depth issues if further injuries occur - this is assuming that Saffold plays this week.
Getting Jake Long and Scott Wells out of the lineup is a positive IMHO. Let's see what GRob and Barrett can do.
It may be rough short term, but there is no hope for this season at this point. Let them learn.I think for the long term that is correct...not so sure about the short term though, if for no other reason than our lack of depth at this point.
I really don't see Long or Wells back as Rams next year.
Can't disagree...It may be rough short term, but there is no hope for this season at this point. Let them learn.
So if a guy is 1/5 of an offensive line that was dominant in college and the other four players went onto the NFL, does that necessarily mean that Jones was equally as good as the others or did they elevate his level of play?
Forget about awards btw. Lots of guys have been recipients of college awards and did not make it in the NFL. The Heisman is a prime example. Remember Brett Rhomberg? Rimmington award winner. He wasn't very good.
