Can Sean McVay "scheme around" offensive line vacancies?
Can Sean McVay "scheme around" offensive line vacancies? looks at whether the Los Angeles Rams could handle offensive line absences, focusing on Alaric Jackson at left tackle. The article acknowledges uncertainty around potential NFL discipline tied to Jackson, while arguing the situation is not unprecedented because the team has dealt with missing starters multiple times over the last three years. It examines Rams box scores on Pro Football Reference and game film on NFL+ to evaluate outcomes when starters were unavailable. For 2023, it cites games where Joseph Noteboom replaced Jackson or changed spots, noting results such as a 29-23 overtime win over Indianapolis and a 20-43 loss to Dallas, along with total yards and sacks conceded in those matches. For 2024, it discusses roster changes including Jonah Jackson taking over after Coleman Shelton left free agency, and how injuries led to AJ Arcuri at times and Beaux Limmer starting at center.
