FB: Mike Karney TE: Randy McMichael, Daniel Fells, Billy Bajema At this point, does anyone really expect Joe Klopfenstein to beat out Fells?

Best & worst case scenarios for the Rams: The offensive line
Turf Show Times — ... of penalties. Don't expect the flags to disappear totally. On the other side, Smith turns in solid rookie performance, not airtight, but still reassuring his place as the team's future LT. In the middle, the line combination does a fine job, proving to be the  real asset many think the unit can be. It's hard not to imagine a Rams line without injuries, but they're unlikely to be quite as decimating as they have been in the past. In that case, the Rams have some good depth guys in Adam Goldberg, Greco and Setterstrom, as well as some intriguing ...

The first line of the new chapter has been written
Turf Show Times — ... didn't start either; it would seems Spags is trying to make the rookies earn their starting roles; I for one applaud the move.  Adam Goldberg held down the spot Smith is expected to assume in the regular season. ...

Injuries and depth on the Rams and Jets offensive lines
Turf Show Times — ... that's one reason we can expect a better season from the Rams this year. The Jets, on the other hand, had an unusual season in 2008 because of the lack of injuries they had to deal with. The other difference between the Rams and Jets situation is depth. We now find ourselves in a position where we have good depth behind our starters. We've scored with draft picks like John Greco and Mark Setterstrom, and made some nice finds on the waiver wire with guys like Adam Goldberg. Something to think about.

Three questions for the Rams vs Falcons: #2 Testing the depth chart
Turf Show Times — ... This week, with Barron and Bell out, the left of the Rams line will have quite a different look. Adam Goldberg has filled in at LT during the regular season. Next to him will be ...

The education of Jason Smith
Turf Show Times — ... Overall, I'm not worried about Smith's long term future. His pass blocking and the cost of keeping Barron next season, indicates to me that Smith could be playing on the blind side come 2010 with a cheaper RT brought in from another source or even promoting Adam Goldberg. For now, we'll have to wait and see where and when we'll see Smith this season. ...

Week 1: Rams at Seattle: Rams lose 11th consecutive division game
Turf Show Times — ... I've been a RIchie Incognito defender because they guy can block, but his penalties made him such a liability he was replaced by Adam Goldberg before game's end. Let the ...

Jason Smith to have MRI
Turf Show Times — ... Adam Goldberg some in for Smith and performed well enough. If Smith ends up out for an extended period of time, the Rams will have tapped out  their depth at a key position.  ...

Rams lose Jason Smith for one to two weeks; Jason Brown day-to-day
Turf Show Times — ... He has done well in pass protection, and his run blocking looked better this weekend too, I thought. Adam Goldberg will start in his place. For now, the dropoff isn't huge. Goldberg is a solid backup who has seen plenty of time in the starting lineup because of injuries in recent years. I say "for now" because Goldberg is at the top of his game, and Smith has a world of potential he's starting to grow into with more experience. Smith left the game this week in Washington during the second quarter. ...

Where's Admiral Ackbar When You Need Him?
Acme Packing Company — ... like Tarzan and plays like Jane.  He is a monster at 6'7", 300+ lbs, and has the strength, agility, and quickness to dominate in both run and pass blocking.  Unfortunately, Barron's biggest deficiency is work ethic, which undermines his consistency and keeps him a marginal starter (at best).  The rest of the line (from LG to RT) is manned by Jacob Bell (6'5", 300), Jason Brown (6'3", 328), the ever mysterious Richie Incognito (6'3", 324), and Adam Goldberg (6'7, 309).  Goldberg is starting in place of the ...

Chapter 2, Game 3 - vs. Green Bay Packers (Sept. 27th)
Turf Show Times — ... ).  Still, the nature of the 3-4 means that OLBs play a significant role in the pass rush, so this becomes a bit of a hybrid section since the Rams' O-line will have to deal with a NT, two 3-4 DEs and whichever blitzing defenders come on any given play.  It will require a bit more awareness, but the Rams' O-line should be up to the task.  The real question mark going into this battle will be Adam Goldberg and how different he will be from ...

Watching the knees on the Rams offensive line
Turf Show Times — ... Adam Goldberg steps in for Smith this week. Goldberg's a solid backup. I feel like he's a little better blocking for the run than the pass, but a capable player for spot starting duty. ...

Shallow Thoughts & Nearsighted Observations

RIghting the ship: Rams looking for their first win
Turf Show Times — ... shot to win today than the Rams. Ouch.  Odds and stats aside, this is a favorable matchup for the Rams, if our offense can build on it's progress from last week against a weak Jacksonville defense and if our defense can continue its strong play against a struggling Jags offense. Take nothing for granted.  Injuries: The Rams will be without SS James Butler, WR Ruvell Martin & S Anthony Smith. OT Jason Smith will work in rotation with Adam Goldberg. I'm anxious to get Butler back in uniform, but Craig ...

The Rams at the trade deadline: What to expect
Turf Show Times — ... at LT and Adam Goldberg at RT, for the rest of this season at least. Barron's a restricted free agent after this season. If the Rams are leaning toward parting ways with Barron, then trying to trade him might possibly bring a better return than just letting him go. ...

Avery playing; Hall not so much: Random Ramsdom, 10/24
Turf Show Times — ... not be much of a factor this week anyway, with or without Hall, as Manning is so good at getting the ball out in a hurry. Are you prepared for things to depend on our coverage? James Butler and the system The Rams are glad to have James Butler back this week, especially since they'll be playing in coverage most of the time. Will Butler help get the DBs in place? Does this reduce the number of big plays? Focusing on pass protection OTs Adam Goldberg, Alex Barron and Jason Smith will rotate ...

Incognito is out indefinitely and long-snapper Chris Massey done for the year
Turf Show Times — ... With Greco having been inactive for the last couple of weeks, it's hard to imagine he'd be ready to just step in and play, so we'll see Adam Goldberg at a minimum and maybe a rotation.  ...

Rams should make Jason Smith their starting LT
Turf Show Times — ... fans through the first half of the season. Some of that might be explained by the Rams having to deal with a sheer lack of talent on offense, while still leaving plenty of things to point to and scratch your head about. The confusion resulting from the play calling had nothing on the absolutely mystifying decision to use a three-man rotation at offensive tackle this week, working rookie Jason Smith who was returning from an injury, into the lineup with Alex Barron and Adam Goldberg. Fans and media took the team to task for that ...

The future is delayed
Turf Show Times — ... out, Adam Goldberg worked with the first team at RG. Fine. Goldberg's a good lineman who has earned his playing time. I wish the Rams had more players like him. The disappointing news here was that ...

Chapter 3, Game 8 - @ Detroit Lions (Nov. 1st)
Turf Show Times — ...   With Richie Incognito out, the Rams will need a big game from Adam Goldberg.  The Rams will have a huge advantage if they can block out the middle similar to what we saw in the second half against the Colts when Steven Jackson started ripping off runs between the tackles.  If not, it's going to get very angry on TST and for good reason.  This is a battle the Rams should win. ...

Reading between the offensive lines: Random Ramsdom, 11/3
Turf Show Times — ... better run blocking on the outside lanes. And with Setterstrom, Brown and Incognito in the middle, you'd have the Rams best OL combo playing. Granted, not every game is going to be against the Lions. In pass blocking, you could put an extra blocker on Smith's side when the matchup wasn't favorable...or you could just let Marc Bulger get trashed, since it's not going to make him any worse (ouch. sorry). The line is starting to gel. I can't help but wonder if Adam Goldberg has a future as a starter. Bernie Miklasz gives his ...
