Jake listed about 15 undrafted guys that played last night who he thinks belong on an NFL roster. After they get cut at the first cut down, he’ll say the Rams made a mistake. Not to pick on Jake, but some guys get so wrapped up in these scrubs they can’t tell the difference between Austin Davis and Jared Goff.One mistake i think a lot of people make is overvaluing these games because it's all they have to go on. The coaches have practice film, scrimmage film, hands on evaluations, most fans only have the preseason games which i doubt carry a lot of weight with the coaches...

He's really smart, technically sound, almost never gets fooled on stunts. And I think he plays at a level above average in a zone scheme. He just has issues with really large, athletic DT's. But I agree with @/zn/ , I think he moves on next year at $4 mil/yr or so.

I don't think Edwards is as suited for guard as he is for playing tackle. IF he comes through as a left OT, then, maybe they keep NB at guard for the sake of continuity rather than make Edwards play guard. Then you're just replacing one guard (Blythe's spot), and could have several candidates for that--Demby, Evans, and maybe one of the current UDFAs. by phoenixrising 4 years 8 months ago Total posts: 816 Joined: Aug 05 2016 Arroyo Grande, CA Veteran OLINE POST #16 /zn/ wrote:Unless (as some are thinking) Edwards develops as a left OT.

When you lose an OG like Tom Mack you want to replace him with a Kent Hill.The Rams are playing grab bag on the OL. Draft a bunch of development guys in the middle to late rounds and try to coach them up to be serviceable. That’s the hope. None of them are remotely close to dominant. Right now, there is no remotely dominant player on the OL, save Whitworth who is so old we just can’t be sure when he will lose it. I’m hopeful but pretty nervous about this OL. They can’t afford any injuries. ~ max ~“The consciousness of good intentions disdains ambiguity.” - Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers by aeneas1 4 years 8 months ago Total posts: 16894 Joined: Sep 13 2015 Norcal Hall of Fame OLINE POST #18 TOPIC AUTHOR Neil039 liked this post max wrote:I still think this OL is tenuous at best.
