    I can remember people raving over Jadeveon Clowney’s athleticism, and he did test off the charts.

    Ht Wt Arm length Hand size 40-yard dash 10-yd split 20-yd split 20-ss 3-cone Vert jump Broad BP
    6 ft 5 1⁄4 in
    (1.96 m) 266 lb
    (121 kg) 34 1⁄2 in
    (0.88 m) 10 in
    (0.25 m) 4.53 s 1.56 s 4.43 s 7.27 s 37 1⁄2 in
    (0.95 m) 10 ft 4 in
    (3.15 m) 21 reps

    But so did Garrett. Arguably, Garrett put up even better testing numbers, is a good bit stronger, and had better production overall in college:

    The Rams O-line will have its hands full with Garrett.

    Whitworth and Hav haven’t been doing great these last 2 games.

    So. This game is a challenge.

    Yes. I am the first to say that.

    Greedy fan, speaking: I wanted the Rams to sign at least one really good FA lineman before this year. Preferably two. They probably tried really hard to do so . . . but ended up relying on rooks and second-year guys for the changeover. Easy for me to say, but I think they needed to try harder.

    Whit/Age and Havenstein/speed rushers . . . Even their vet starters worry me a bit. I realize the cap/draft positioning makes it virtually impossible for any team to be loaded across the board . . . especially teams that draft late. But I’m not so sure they couldn’t have done a better job with the O-line in the offseason, despite those obstacles.

    Oh, well. We’re gonna find out soon. As you say, this game really will be a test. Cleveland has a very good D-line, and Garrett is already playing at Pro Bowl level. Five sacks in two games this year, and 13.5 last year.

    It should be an excellent game overall. Looking forward to it.

    this should be a big test for the rams offense. show that the rust has been knocked off and answer any doubt that the league may have caught up to them.

    To be honest, I don’t think they intended to or tried. I think they are committed to their “redshirt under Kromer” approach. And he’s not sweating the early games, apparently. His approach just seems to be that they will improve and progress and right now that’s the plan.

    Here’s Kromer on that. He likes their eagerness and talent and dedication:

    “When you have something like that, you can grow. Our goal is to be at our peak at the end of the season.”
