Offensive linemen have one more year of experience
Though the Rams allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL this past season, the offensive line did not perform well as a whole. Goff was under pressure frequently, and the running lanes opened up for Gurley were few and far between.
The line could lose Andrew Whitworth and Austin Blythe in free agency, but the rest of the unit will have an added year of experience in 2020 than it did last season. David Edwards was thrust into a starting role at guard despite never playing there before, and he performed well. Bobby Evans took over at right tackle when Rob Havenstein got hurt, and while he got a lot of help on the edge, he wasn’t a complete disaster.
Brian Allen and Joseph Noteboom missed most of the season with injuries, but they should come back even better in 2020 after getting their first taste as starters in the NFL. It’ll still take a lot for the Rams to have one of the best lines in football next season, but at the very least, it shouldn’t be any worse than it was.
