I beg to differ.

The injury massacred OLs of 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011 were far, far worse.

Not only were they bad, they had no hope whatsoever of getting better.

This OL at least shows in fits and starts that it is on the road to being a good one.

Well actually.

Here are the periods in the midst of that where they did okay:

2010: virtually no injuries
2012: second half of the season…after starters come back from injuries
2013: the injuries hit late in the year (eg. PFF ranked the Rams OL 12th that year)

2007-2009, 2011, first half of 2012, and 2014? Massive continual simultaneous injuries. 2015? I agree, hope on the horizon.

Though it wasn’t all bad across those years…there were as I said islands of “pretty good” in there. Times when the Rams OL Injury Reaper took a break.

I don’t know if you could find stats for lines pressured by dropbacks that far back but in the NFL there is no “far , far worse.” than 32nd in the league.Plus with the obvious exception of perma-injured Saffold they are healthy ! I agree it can be fixed but the question for me is whether or not it will be.Luckily the schedule lightens up and the bye after the asswhippin they took in GB gives hope.

How good did we expect the OLine to be? I mean we have two rookies starting on the Oline, and plaus a starting Center with limited experience. The Oline needs seasoning and such to grow. That is it.
