Final Rams injury report for Week 11 refocuses team on huge problem

Los Angeles Rams Injuries

The team has slowly but surely found its way back to health. While the Week 11 injury to backup OT Joe Noteboom, and the persistent injury to RT Rob Havenstein are setbacks, the team is getting healthier. So the problem is not simply injuries. The team has struggled with consistency all season.

Insomuch as the offensive line is concerned, the three-game winning streak coincides with the three-game period of the team's most stable offensive line configuration. It's not blind luck or conicidence. The fact that the Rams started the same five offensive linemen for three consecutive games was a direct cause of their three-game winning streak.

That creates a pickle for the team heading into Week 11. Do the Rams revert to the configuration that led to three straight wins? Or does the team stick with the new starters, and try to go with the best right tackle left on the roster?
