But by Gawd this seasons moves are head scratching to the point of scalping ones self.What would be the point of FA linemen? If anyone's good they're not available, and even if there were a couple of decent linemen mysteriously available, they wouldn;t know the system and it would take them a spell to get up to speed. If you;re signing linemen off the street in November, it means your OL got injured and then the replacements got injured. The Rams actually did start some street FAs they signed in-season in 2007, but that was because it was the worst OL injury patch I've seen with the Rams. All the guys they brought in during the season that year were cut after the season and never played again. That's how bad it was. The reason guys are on the PS is because you want to keep and develop them, so you stash them until you can start coaching them next OTAs. And any lineman on the PS will have been through camp and knows the system--they are simply going to be better than the kind of street FA that's available after the season starts. This is how you act when your OL loses 3 starters. Everything they did is the right move if not the only good moves. They're not doing anything wrong. IMO your complaints about this are off base. ... by R4L 4 years 5 months ago Total posts: 1301 Joined: May 08 2017 Dayton, Ohio Pro Bowl Re: Am I the only one POST #4 Agree.

Cooks is clearly not coming back any time soon and they were going to lose Webster. So they swapped places with Kelly. In other moves, they addressed the oline by putting Allen on IR, bringing up OL Brewer from PS and signing Trewyn to PS. Not saying that Brewer is any type of answer but that the Webster/Kelly swap has no effect on the Rams ability to bring in Oline help if they saw something available. Now on the other hand, we don’t have a healthy TE on the team at the moment and not sure what the plan there is 1 by Neil039 4 years 4 months ago Total posts: 2664 Joined: Feb 02 2016 LA Coliseum Superstar Am I the only one POST #6 TOPIC AUTHOR R4L liked this post dieterbrock wrote:I don’t understand the issue here.

Cooks is clearly not coming back any time soon and they were going to lose Webster. So they swapped places with Kelly. In other moves, they addressed the oline by putting Allen on IR, bringing up OL Brewer from PS and signing Trewyn to PS. Not saying that Brewer is any type of answer but that the Webster/Kelly swap has no effect on the Rams ability to bring in Oline help if they saw something available. Now on the other hand, we don’t have a healthy TE on the team at the moment and not sure what the plan there isThe Kelly Webster move is run of the mill stuff IMO.
