We’ve seen the LA Rams personnel office make the right moves so far this season. But when it comes to gameday, the LA Rams coaching staff thinks otherwise, and the results have been less than expected. To compensate for the LA Rams’ offensive line injury woes, the front office signed IOL Oday Aboushi and OC Matt Skura.

Despite no end in sight to the Rams’ offensive line injury woes, neither Aboushi nor Skura have seen any action. The Rams had a perfect opportunity to get Aboushi some work in Week 4 to start at the left guard but opted to assign that role to backup offense tackle Bobby Evans.
