Cole is showing what he is. Getting answers on personnel, even if they aren't the ones you want, is a good thing. We need a C unless Gaillard does something amazing next week.

Gailllard deserves a season to see if he has what it takes. I absolutely loved what I saw from him when he was playing C.

Until yesterday, I could not recall the last time I heard a false start penalty on a center in a game. I usually watch 1-2 games a week so that's a pretty steady diet of football in addition usually one to two college games.

Galliard didn't start last game because his wife just gave birth to their first child. Not sure what was up with him this week.

Even so, Cole should never see the field again. Waste of a draft pick.

Not sure why Gaillard's wife having a baby would keep him out of games. Cole's wife just had a baby, too.

Cole is Shipley. A guy the coaches trust for some unknown reason that’s never going to be top shelf.
This.

No reason that Gaillard was ever swapped out when he was playing better when he filled in.

Interior Oline gets blown back and has very little push on run plays.

Gaillard helped when he was playing.

The only thing I can think of is he struggles with the line calls. His play IMO has showed he deserves more playing time.
This is what I was thinking as well. Cole does a lot of the calling of the Mike backer and maybe it is something Gaillard isn't used to and Kyler doesn't do for a specific reason.

I wish they would fine these players 10K for every penalty per game. Maybe they'd use their noodle a little more if it was costing them something they cared about like money?

Shipley is a couple levels better than Cole has been lately. Shipley was a perfectly cromulent player that would be the 4th or 5th best guy on a good line. Cole right now is a dumpster fire.

I actually don't think Cole is bad after the snap; I don't see him being overpowered much. But he can't hurt the drive with extremely dumb false starts.

Gaillard plays with an attitude and strong at the point of attack. We have our center and it's him. Cole is not useless and depth in a pinch but no way he should be a starter. I tip my hat to DJ Humphries for being a good LT while not throwing his teammates under the proverbial bus afterwards

Ya, usually the QB makes the line calls. Do the Rams still use the C for line calls? I thought they did for some time.

I don’t care that Cole has a relationship with Kugler or the coaches trust him, he had 4 false starts penalties the last 2 weeks

WTF? That’s inexcusable
