On one hand, today the offensive line did not allow a single sack from the Ravens. Part of that is simply guys like Moton and Van Roten balling out while part of it is Cam Newton being arguably one of the best pocket managers in the NFL.

Now, we have Clark at LT. In my honest opinion, he's a downgrade from Matt Kalil. He's allowed some bad pressure and sacks in the past and largely is more consistently beat than Matt Kalil's frequency. With that being said, I would not be surprised to see the coaching staff put Matt Kalil back in based on such.

Conversely, you have the argument that o-line chemistry is doing quite fine at the moment. Inserting Matt Kalil to work with Van Roten may create a situation where some glitches may occur due to not being as used to each other.

Either way, it is something to think about. 

Do you think Matt Kalil will be back this upcoming game? If so, what are your thoughts on whether he's an upgrade or not?

Mind you, this is basically comparing rotten apples. Rather, which one is the worse bad tackle in a sense.

Clark definitely gives up pressure but not like Kalil. It's just different because he doesn't get obliterated like Kalil. 

Counter: I think he's gotten obliterated at a higher frequency than M. Kalil. It's just that Cam Newton's finally healthy and knows how to manage a pocket like the best in the league.

Either way, it's basically arguing who's the biggest midget at this point. They're both bad and basically depth level players on other teams at best. Clark's been serviceable and definitely not on Byron Bell levels bad, but he's also not the answer either.

Maybe so and honestly depth at T late in the year isn't bad. Clearly next year though we need to resign Williams and move Moton to LT. That's a T combo to be proud of.

This is something I have noticed lately.  He is stepping up, which says a lot for our middle three.

      well, he all but indicated that in his press conference   He wanted his passing offense to ‘come alive’  however, there  where so many mistakes on offense besides Bryce, per film review done by some podcasters I respect in the All 22   Young, missing reads, throwing off his back foot continuously, late with throws    We are in year 3….enough receivers and Young thinking it’s one route and it was another  Tet dropping critical passes…I’ll tell ya, I’m over this one.  Top 10 pick, pretend you are Malik neighbors or Jefferson and catch the damned ball …and the ever so popular Legette, ballerina that he is, stepping out of bounds,,again they need a veteran receiver out there and they don’t have it…I get the concept of wanting young and the receivers to grow together but young has to grow first, and it is ending year 3   One thing about Thielen, he was always where he was supposed to be, he seldom dropped passes and he had no problem keeping his feet in bounds  What these guys do in practice together, no idea

      If you trot Brycie out there again next year or pick up his option there will be some serious dissention among the troops. Who is going to put forth effort while getting their bodies busted up only to know we really don't have a chance at winning. They know he is terrible. I only  saw 2 wins on the schedule at the beginning of the year and our record is a fluke. I'm as surprised as anybody. Trying to win with Brycie is like trying to win the Daytona 500 in a Ford Escort.

      Honestly, with McVay as HC and Matt having the year of his life, Williams doesn’t matter I've watched the rams a lot this year and the line gives ,Matt time, puca and davante are constantly open and if they aren’t the TEa are. McVay  plus a healthy stafford equals Super Bowl if that defense can hold up
