True, but in fairness, that's a decent OL.
Further, as has been reported, the Rams coaching staff did a fantastic job in their game plan against us, using formations and motion to confuse the front 7, and get the LBs moving out of position. Also, our DL apparently had "tells" that gave the OL and coaches for the Rams an idea of our defensive calls on given plays. For example, based on where our DT might line up and how he used his hands in aligning, they could guess we were running a particular stunt, so they would audible to a run which could take advantage of us being out of position with a stunt.
We got outcoached Sat night. We can argue talent was a factor as well, but we got out coached.
I know it's a decent OL. My point was more about how you can build a good OL without having to dump a bunch of 1st round picks into it. People act like we need another 5 years to rebuild our entire OL before we can be good again. The Rams did all this in 2 years with new coaches and some veteran OL signings.
