    I am quite satisfied with Havenstein and Wichmann being the starters on the right side next year.

    VARIOUS RECENT THOTZ ON ROBINSON

    from off the net

    Robinson’s not playing like Joe Thomas but I’ve seen guys that were plain bad LTs. Robinson ain’t that. Robinson isn’t getting whooped from start to finish. He has a few plays each game where he makes mistakes/struggles. That’s inconsistency. Not a lack of ability. And as Bentley pointed out, that inconsistency is due to his mechanics. It’s fixable.

    – While there were struggles in this game as a run blocker, Rams left tackle Greg Robinson earned his first positive grade in pass protection since Week 8, not allowing a hit or sack for only the third time this season and the fourth time since moving to left tackle in Week 9 of last season. In the last two weeks, Rams’ fans will be eager to see Robinson show some signs of progress and perform well as both a pass blocker and run blocker in the same game. Robinson has only earned a positive grade as a run blocker and pass blocker in the same game once since his move to left tackle, exactly a year ago this week against the Cardinals.

    As for Greg Robinson, he had just that one penalty and zero sacks given up….I think he played pretty well. Tampa has a good defense, they are fast to the hole.

    If you look at weeks 7 thru 14 it more or less looks like GRob is trending up the last 8 games. Here’s hoping that trend continues …

    And look out now, but the Ram offensive line sort of knows what it’s doing. Even with the running game shut down, they had one of their better games. Funny how well a lot of plays work when you actually pay attention to keeping the back side blocked. Edge play after edge play worked this week because the Rams kept a good portion of the Buc defense bottled up in the middle of the field. . . . Greg Robinson and Garrett Reynolds were strong at times 1-on-1 in the running game but had some inconsistency. . . . They’ve still gone from getting pushed around up front to doing a lot of the pushing, and a young offensive line coming together at the end of the season is a natural reason for optimism next season.

    A pretty good game. It helps having Garrett Reynolds over on Robinson’s side. I think this current unit with Wichmann at RG is starting to jell a little bit.

    G Rob still has some lunges, but for the most part I’m seeing real improvement … and the holding calls are gone now. He also had a really sick pancake on the Austin TD.

    We have two more games to check the OL. It should be decent tests against Seattle and SF.

    Even if Robinson doesn’t make it. We have enough to be fine. Although I would like to draft a center somewhere. It should be no problem to keep Saffold or any other FA if we choose to(Cook gets cut and Long takes a cut.). imo

    Well, how long does Greg Robinson get ?
    I mean, if he is still acting confused
    and getting his QB killed three times a game
    next year…then what? Are we still gonna
    say he’s got the talent he just needs
    more experience?

    At what point can we say, we
    know what he is going to be?

    He’s not. He’s improving. The criticism of GR is just greatly exaggerated. It’s classic black hole trauma memory—where some bad memories suck in and crush all other perceptions.

    Improving: that’s according to a wide array of observers.

    And the issue this year was never “being confused,” it was technique. Some say, film study. But I think that one has abated.

    In terms of the Rams OL, looks like in one draft they scored on

    Havenstein

    Brown

    Wichman

    And that’;s that we know of so far.

    How often does that happen? At least 3 linemen in one draft?

    Havenstein is still the highest ranked rookie lineman in the league according to PFF and and the 7th ranked ROT overall (and 21st ranked OT in general).

    That means he’s ranked higher than (among many others) Barksdale and Okung, and recent high first rounders Lane Johnson and Eric Fisher.
