    He must be the most underappreciated Ram in the past decade, or so.

    The media-celebrities almost always talk about Whitworth. Its like “Whitworth and the other guys”

    And Whitworth has indeed been a star. But the interior of the line has been great too, imho.

    Sometimes i think Hav is the weak link now. He certainly had a hard time with Clowney, i guess.

    I really hope the draft a T with their first or second pick. Just in case. Maybe a Center/guard too.

    Clowney to Hav was like Kearse to Miller.

    I doubt Hav has a hard time like that with everyone,

    Agreed.

    I would love to see the Houston line still have JJ Watt. I think it would be fun to see Clowney and Watt together now that Clowney has really come into his own.

    I still think Hav is the weak-link. I dont mean hes bad, just that i think the others are more athletic and I think he will struggle more than the others.

    If Whitworth went down, who would play LT, btw? Saffold?

    I got the impression that the training camp move of Hav inside, and Brown outside, had more to do with Hav’s limitations than with Brown’s prowess.

    I think OL is the number one priority. After Blythe, they don’t have anybody afaik who can actually play. If Whitworth goes down, I’m pretty sure Saffold would move outside, and Blythe take over at LG – as he did when Saffold got injured Sunday.

    the only thing i worry about with saffold is he seems to get injured when they move him outside. maybe it’s having to deal with the quicker more athletic defensive ends and having to extend himself more that does it i don’t know.

    I think Havenstein did ok against Clowney in the second half.

    i also seem to remember some of the damage clowney did was against guys like kupp and higbee. which was probably not the best idea.

    Higbee can’t block Clowney, but he does ok against the average DE. imo I think he is much better than Kendricks was, blocking and catching. Watch this game. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lIL24WKYS7SA3GY_ZK10TpyC9w292nFX/view
