Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 11/19/24
Beaux Limmer was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the sixth round of the latest NFL Draft. Did LA know at the time that Limmer would be their best option to start at center? I don’t think they did, and LA even tried something different in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins (you can read more about who replaced Limmer in that game here) as they let Limmer observe on the sideline. Well in Week 11 Beaux was back on the field and he made a case that he should stay on it.
Is Limmer the long-term answer as center for LA? I don’t know, but is he the answer at least for this season? I’d say to this point he is either the actual answer or the best option, so it sure seems like the center position is his to lose as the Rams continue marching forward into December and beyond.

“The Los Angeles Rams seem to be settling into a groove on both sides of the ball when it comes to their personnel groupings. On Sunday against the Patriots, the Rams leaned on their top starters offensively, giving their backup receivers very few opportunities. Blake Corum did see a season-high snap share of 19%, though, and all three tight ends were involved, too.
On defense, Chris Shula has utilized dime packages a ton, giving his four safeties plenty of playing time on the back end as he mixes and matches personnel with the offense.”
“Still, the Eagles are playing like a powerhouse. They beat the Cowboys and then the Commanders back-to-back to take a clear hold of the NFC East, Saquon Barkley has easily been the best running back in the conference,...
