The Rams need to center their offense around the running game and Todd Gurley. With Tim Barnes in the middle of the offensive line, they are set up well to do just that.
Tim Barnes has been on quite a journey to get where he is now.
After going undrafted out of Missouri in the 2011 NFL Draft, Barnes signed with the Baltimore Ravens, but did not make the final roster. The Rams swooped him up shortly after his release from Baltimore. After years of being cut and re-signed, it would appear that Barnes has found a home with the Rams, at least for this upcoming season.
