Still questionable at best

So I’m just throwing it out there for you all’s thoughts……………..

Where is Havs on his injury?…………..

Would any of you consider him @ guard instead of Dedich if he said I’ll play there if you want me to……………..

To be very clear I do not want him replacing McClendon @ RT and moving McClendon inside………..

And Higs looked good yesterday.

Higbee is one of the most under appreciated playerS in the last 10 year by this fan base IMO………..

Wasn’t he playing guard when Philly blocked that FG where he landed on his arse!?

Yes, on the left side, which seemed odd.

that's an interesting take, I personally think it would help us stay off early pressure up the middle on a passing play, I think big Haave is probably not great at cutting off linebackers and certainly pulling, but I think there's probably way more positive than negative

PLEASE tell me it isn't the 7th Cavalry!!

The positive I see is in the running game. Again just a thought…………..

Damn all! that drop without Lake is beyond significant .. from 3rd to 20TH!??!? Apparently Lake is now underpaid

That is a hell of a difference……….

My guess is it's his late field adjustments. He does wear the green dot and line the defense up after the O makes their audibles.

We will see vs Carolina, but this D did get worse.

Dotson’s status will determine how much of a playoff run the Rams will have? Assuming he hasn’t healed enough, do you rest him vs Carolina and hope he can go vs Seattle? I don’t believe we can take down Seattle without him?

Gotta hope dotson can play . My issue with lake and now Adams too is that they will be rusty , specially Lake . Adam's is a WR so the rust doesn't affect him that much I guess but a safety away from the field for more than 2 months ? I hope he can shake the rust off in on quarter instead of one game .

This is one and done territory and their backup guard is a huge downgrade. With that said, Rams need him healthy. I seen Dotson play injured and he isn't the same. Rams may have to wait until he is capable of playing at a high level.

This sucks bc when healthy, Dotson makes the rams OL, a run blocking force at times. Shelton plays better when next to a healthy Dotson. Shelton can be used to pull or run to the next level rather then having to help Dedrich with his block.

The Ravens have a guard that weighs 370 lbs( Faalele). That’s almost 100 lbs heavier than Dedich. We need to draft bigger bodies instead of lightweights.
