Much like the 7-2 Vikings, the 7-2 Los Angeles Rams are getting the full benefits of a functional offensive line.
I was talking to Rams Hall of Fame tackle Jackie Slater on Thursday. He does some analyst work on the Rams and was reaching out to discuss the Vikings ahead of Sunday’s meeting at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Jackie is quite fond of what these two teams have done where it counts most — up front on the offensive lines. And all this big fella has on his resume is 20 NFL seasons, 259 games, seven Pro Bowls, three All-Pros and a first-ballot entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001. All with the Rams.
“I can tell you without any hesitation that [Rams left tackle] Andrew Whitworth is like [Vikings left tackle] Riley Reiff in that the Rams see him as the MVP of the team right now,” Slater said. “But the next guy they talk about is [center] John Sullivan.”
