    There are 13 UDFA starters along the OL in Week 1.

    6 of them are centers and 9 have played center some or most of their pro career.

    The one position where hard-to-measure traits like mental processing, football intelligence, confidence, self-assuredness and moxy can allow you to stick for a contract, two or more in the league. It’s partly why I love studying the position so much. So many ‘dark horse’ sort of players emerge because they are some combination of technician, A+ leader and prick lol.

    Yeah. That “playoff opponents” list doesn’t tell us much, though.

    The Rams have six games against SF, AZ, and SEA that don’t show up on that list, and all of those games are against teams good enough to be in the playoffs THIS season. Which is the season that matters most to the Rams right now. And to their ill-prepared fans.

    True.

    Not facing many opponents that made the playoffs doesn’t really mean much in regards to a team’s success.

    For example, when the Dodgers saw they were playing the Pirates this week, they probably saw that as an opportunity to strengthen their grip on the NL West.

    After all, the Pirates aren’t a playoff team. Hell, they haven’t sniffed the playoffs since the 90’s, which belies their storied history as one of baseball’s greatest franchises.

    But what happened?

    The Pirates channeled the spirits of legends past and beat the Dodgers not once, not twice, but three straight times. With San Diego in the midst of a 4 game losing streak, the Dodgers had a chance to essentially lock up their division.

    Easy peasy, right?

    You would think so, especially if you buy into the delusion that a schedule laden with non-playoff opponents was some sort of guarantee of success.

    But you would be wrong, as the proud young men in black and gold demonstrated so vividly to the Dodgers over the past several days.

    So good on you Zooey, for not buying into the playoff opponent hype.

    Would you like to borrow a handkerchief? You’ve got a little venom dripping down your chin, sir.

    From what i read, about SIX new teams make the playoffs in the NFL every year. Each year is different but thats the average.

    Now if you understand deep-algebra, that means, the Rams will go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.

    Got it. Thanks, zn.

    And to answer your question, no, I didn’t know Zooey was a Scientologist. It does add up now that you mention it, though.

    Among the Rams royalty in attendance on the sideline today for the season opener: Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley, Eric Dickerson

    With Texas shuffling their OL (again) to account for Ed Ingram scratch, fascinated to see how Rams align their pass rushers today.

    Has Penn State been playing the Pirates?

    It would explain a lot.
