Even though Stafford had an efficient  game, but I was happy that that pick 6, didn’t come back to haunt us.

We need to get our act together, because we will be playing much better teams, than the Panthers.

If you look at some of the guys that are out on our OLine, they have not been able to stay healthy. In other words, durability issues. It won’t be long, before, Joseph Noteboom, misses time. Again, that is based on his history.

You mean Allen? Who after Allen has a history of injuries? Shelton? Anchrum? Edwards? Jackson? Noteboom was injured in 2019. If I remember correctly, he missed 1 game in 2021.

Noteboom missed time in 2020,as well. Edwards has had some issues, as well,. I know he missed a couple of games, last year. We will have to make a decision on Rob Havenstein, he is an Unrestricted Free Agent, after this season. I assume, he’s gone. AJ Jackson, is going to take over the RT duties.

It’s probably a consensus among fans that the O-line is the issue. But I think Stafford is a problem, too. His passes lack zip. They flutter. And, yeah, Robinson is a bad fit. I thought he’d help them a lot more than he has. Wrong guy, wrong team. He’s a jump ball guy, and the Rams need someone who creates separation instead. Stafford isn’t accurate enough on his own to have it come down to just those jump balls. Even with the great gain by Kupp today, it was all Kupp, on a poorly thrown pass. Akers, IMO, is not an NFL back any longer. He’s still not recovered, and may never be. Henderson is the much better player. Not that other teams would want them, but if the Rams could get something in trade for Akers and/or Robinson, I’d go for it before the deadline. Preferably O-line help this year, but picks, if not. Rams do not look like a playoff team at all at this point. All of those trades have caught up with them. Counting far too much on late picks and UDFAs has caught up with them. Not enough depth to weather an injury storm. Cliches R Us, but their strategy of putting all of their eggs in a coupla baskets did yield a Super Bowl, but it may well lead to limbo for several years afterward. Those of us who have followed the Rams for a long time . . . well, we may be in for a very rough stretch in the next few years. Been there, done that, etc.

There is a good chance, that Aaron Donald may retire after this season. Plus, what if Matt Stafford retires. I believe we should start thinking of a rebuild, if things don’t change, and see if we can get draft picks for players.

Center Coleman Shelton had a high ankle sprain, 4-6 weeks out.
Jordan Fuller re-aggravated hamstring, out a couple of weeks per McVay.

I don’t think Goff would’ve won last year. Stafford is better. They do need offensive line help. Lots of injuries this year is not helping.

We don’t have a first round pick, in 2023. That is in Detroit.

Bobby Evans is starting. This worries me.

I believe it will be Jeremiah Kolone, that will end up,starting, not Evans.

Wow, that’s sad. Did he join the Rams during the strike, or was he already on the team and decided to play the strike games? I remember him being a tough SOB.

White came to the Rams in 1985, and played until 1989. So he was already here, when the NFL played with replacement players

It feels weird, that USC, & UCLA are leaving the Pac 12, for the Big 10. It looks like Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, & Utah, are possibly leaving, to join the Big 12.
