The Los Angeles Rams offensive line has entered a transition period. As the offense changes its run scheme, the Rams have been changing their type of offensive linemen from the past. LA went from a wide zone scheme that required lighter, more agile offensive linemen to a gap or power scheme. By doing so, they decided to get bigger up front. They drafted Steve Avila in the second round at 330-pounds and traded for Kevin Dotson who weighed 322-pounds.
Changing to overall make-up of the offensive line is a multi-year process. The Rams got by last year and they got better up-front as the year progressed.
