Sean McVay feels good about the depth the Rams have along the offensive line, all the way down to Zach Thomas and Kevin Dotson, but he loved the way the starters played on Sunday.

“I was really pleased with that group and I think they’d be the first to tell you that they’re excited about attacking some opportunities to improve in certain phases, but overall I thought some of the things we wanted to see that were key and critical for that game were on display,” McVay said Monday. “It’s like anything else, you have to be able to continue to put the work in, continue to improve and I know that’s exactly the approach that (OL coach) Ryan Wendell and that that group will end up having.”

No Rams lineman finished with a PFF grade below 60.7 and all five of them played every offensive snap in the game, a pleasant development after Los Angeles couldn’t keep the same group together for seemingly more than 5 minutes last season.

Even Noteboom, who had the lowest overall grade of the Rams’ linemen, still finished with a pass-blocking grade of 73.1, so he was solid in pass protection even if he wasn’t perfect in the running game.

Matthew Stafford on what he’s seen from the Rams’ offensive line so far: “Biggest thing for me is playing physical.” Mentioned how there are times he’ll be watching tape and notice how OL will “peel hits” off of him just by pushing defenders by/moving them off their spot.

Matthew Stafford on third-year WR Tutu Atwell: “Happy for him, happy for his success, because he has worked for it.” Adds Rams can count on him to play any receiving position now.

stafford will be the first qb in rams history to start against the bengals twice – in the previous 15 meetings between the rams & bengals, the rams started 15 different qbs.
