    As we all know the line needs to cohere. But last year, surprisingly, they were not that bad in sack percentage (you want to look at sack percentage because it evens out the issue of how much did they throw). Last year the Rams allowed a sack percentage of 4% with Foles and 3.1% with Keenum.

    Just for perspective, across 16 games, 4% would have been ranked 4th, and 3.1% would have been ranked 1st. As it stands, in 16 games with both qbs, the offense was ranked 3rd in sack percentage, with 3.7%. That is better than every single playoff team.

    So, the OL wasn’t that bad…even with OL injuries shaking things up in the middle of the season, and even with GR struggling for much of the season.

    Where IMO they really need to improve is basic run blocking…Gurley and Tavon covered that up with a lot of long runs.

    i think i’m not as concerned about the oline as i used to be although i still think there needs to be improvement.

    the good news is there is lots of potential on that line. and i agree. run blocking needs to be more consistent.

    Left tackle Greg Robinson

    There are quite a few choices for the Rams here, but Robinson heads the list. The No. 2 overall pick in 2014 has been a disappointment in his first two seasons, but the Rams were encouraged by how he finished last season. It was always expected that Robinson would need some time to adjust, but the clock is ticking. The Rams will have to make a decision on whether to pick up his fifth-year option after this coming season and, more important, figure out whether they’ll need to invest in another blindside protector for prized rookie QB Jared Goff if Robinson doesn’t perform better. — Nick Wagoner
