The Los Angeles Rams may boast one of the best rosters in professional football history on paper.
But margins are extremely thin in the NFL. For every position of strength—like the defensive line with Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald, and others—there is somewhere where LA is hoping people don't notice just how thin they are running.
I spy two places that are concerning and could grow even more so should attrition strike: offensive tackle and defensive back.
The Rams effectively turned in a roster with three tackles and almost no reserve secondary players. It's not a nitpick—it's a reality.
Alaric Jackson is still awaiting word from the league that he's in the clear. Until then, a suspension will linger over his head. David Quessenberry is the next man up at left tackle. That probably isn't good enough. Rookie Keagen Trost will miss at least the first four games of the season.
