So at this point, it seems like Allen could potentially step in at center and Noteboom could potentially slide in at left guard if necessary. While that at first glance may seem like a more natural fit for Allen than Noteboom, Noteboom was cross-training at guard during last year’s offseason program and training camp — with the thought that he could potentially replace Jamon Brown at right guard for the first two games of the season.

That job, of course, went to Austin Blythe, who kept it throughout the 2018 season. But Blythe could be another option at center, as he was the backup at the spot in 2017 and performed well in spot duty when called upon.

Either way, it appears the Rams will be able to fill the center spot with an internal option if they choose. But, of course, there’s a lot of time between now and Week 1 for Los Angeles to figure that out.
