Rams Depth Chart Highlights Joe Noteboom's Opportunity as Left Tackle
Rams Depth Chart Opportunity
With Alaric Jackson suspended for the first two weeks, Joe Noteboom faces a crucial chance to prove himself as the starting left tackle. Historically seen as a potential starter, Noteboom's journey in the Rams depth chart has often placed him as a sixth man rather than the main left tackle.
Noteboom vs. Jackson
Both players provide similar swing depth; however, Noteboom could leverage this opportunity for a permanent role. The Rams organization is investing more in Noteboom at $11.6M compared to Jackson's $4.3M, which may influence coach decisions moving forward.
- Key Performance Areas
- Chemistry with Offensive Line
- Potential Replacement Impact
If Noteboom performs adequately, he may warrant keeping the left tackle position, especially given Jackson’s average starting capabilities. Last season’s episode, where Noteboom briefly filled in for Jackson, showcased how instability in the offensive line can lead to unexpected outcomes.
Pivotal Starting Weeks
The Rams depth chart will focus on how Noteboom capitalizes on this unique opportunity. Successful offensive line play hinges on collaboration among players, making initial weeks vital. Watch for Noteboom as a key player for the Rams in this season opener.
