The LA Rams sent shockwaves through the community in training camp when they announced that Brian Allen had reasserted himself as the starting center for the offensive line, less than two years after he had drawn the ire of many fans for disappointing performances over nine starts.
But without Bobby Evans or any other player demanding-through-play to start at right guard in place of once-center Austin Corbett, head coach Sean McVay felt he had no other choice than to give Allen a second chance. McVay called Allen a true “stand out” in training camp and felt that he was much improved from what most had remembered from 2019 and on Sunday, the 2018 fourth round pick out of Michigan State made his first start at center since going on injured reserve two Novembers ago.
