Agreed.

He was missed vs the niners, earlier this year.

KDot is healthy too. He was banged up earlier this year.l.vs the Niners.

Hav is also back healthy too, he didnt play vs niners earlier this year

They’re getting stronger. The 13 personnel has helped with that too. Time together helps so much with cohesion. Great pass protection by Kyren Williams as well.

Good point B K - not a big KW fan BUT this smallish RB will dig in and take on anyone in blitz pickup - anyone.

The key to the offense playing better is Stafford throwing it to more players. Last 3 years it’s been throw it to Kupp or Puka nonstop. This year he is spreading it around more and he’s more effective.

Getting the TEs involved today was really good to see. The TEs had 10 catches on 14 targets

Remember when everyone thought Avila was benched? Guy is a beast.

OL and Stafford should have gotten the game ball. The defense wasn't great they were fine but not great.

Speaking of Steve, who was missed when the rams played the niners earlier in the season

Right Tackle is probably our biggest liability when Havenstein is playing..I've always had a soft spot for him because he's an OG Ram..He's been a solid OL for years and rarely gets penalties..but he's getting beat by faster and quicker DE..We need more pass blocking out of him.

I watched him on that Nacua TD and he had a nice crushing block. I don't think he's been healthy until recently. McClendon looks like a good backup RT but I'd rather have Havenstein starting at RT.

Yes I'm sure his health has played a role..he does have his moments..but last week his run blocking wasn't good and his pass protection was only slightly better..but against better and faster DE he struggles.

Big has played well the last two games, but the whole line has not been tested the last couple weeks with awesome defensive lines, we have a good one coming up in Seattle, we have Detroit and Seattle again, not to mention the bucks and the Falcons can rush the passer

So as good as the OL has been they do have a challenging schedule ahead of them

Seattle should be a good test for Hav and the whole line.

Can't believe Limmer is inactive every game now.

IMO, Limmer being inactive isn't all that bad for us. Look at how far we've come w out him. I think the one big thing is Avila finally staying healthy. That dude is good and has brought a ton of continuity to our OL, imho

The OL as a unit been blocking at a high level since getting healthy.

I think Limmer will be fine. The Center has to make the proper line adjustments as well as block. Limmer struggled with line adjustments at center vs the eagles last year in the playoffs, and had KDot blocking air on that game losing drive.

Limmer also struggled blocking on Special Teams.

Limmer struggles at guard due to strength. Mcvay realizes that at this point, Limmer at best is a backup Center and doesnt offer much of anything at guard.

Instead Mcvay is going with more vestile backup ol Justin Dedich. Justin Dedich held his own at guard when Avila was out and he also can play center.

Activate Justin Dedich or Limmer? I agree with Mcvay I'd activate Justin Dedich

Agreed

I agree that they like Dedich and I first noticed that when he was the first one off the bench one game last year. They also protected him in preseason. That being said, Limmer going from full season starter to inactive is quite the fall. I haven't given up on him but it's pretty interesting to me. He will come back stronger and more experienced next year to go along with some drafted OT's.

He's been watching Lebron and those flops too much...
