LA Rams Johnny Mundt adds 2 TE formation value to offense

LA Rams offensive line must improve pass protection for QB Goff. TE Johnny Mundt‘s blocking acumen perfectly suited to solve OL woes

The LA Rams offensive line struggled throughout much of the 2019 season. Between injuries and inexperience, the team gave the appearance of a new starting five in each game. While that is an exxageration, the frequency of changing players became so intense that the Rams needed to trade for offensive linemen in mid-season. They did so by trading for backup guard Austin Corbett from the Cleveland Browns.

Hopefully, this off-season will be less about wholesale changes to the offensive line, and more about taking a deep breath and allowing so many young offensive line thrown into the starting lineup last season to develop fully through training camp this season.

The team could also hedge their bets by re-signing free agent veteran offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth,  While Whitworth is no longer among the NFL’s top five left tackles, the Rams have failed to create multiple options for the position in 2020. Even the team’s depth chart has no one learning the left tackle position in the past, one of the most critical positions on the offense.

Mundt’s blocking is good.  For a tight end, he’s exceptional. That warrants some 2020 offensive schemes to take advantage of that skillset.
