I'd take "bust" Jimmy Kennedy, who is on a mostly bad line in St. Louis. He's got Leonard Little, an alcoholic DE who really can't stop the run. He's got Anthony Hargrove, who is starting to improve but still is weak against the run. Ryan Pickett is OK but can't get off a block to save his life. If there are two players worth keeping from that line, it's Kennedy and Hargrove.
Nobody doubts the worth of Kevin Williams, yet Minnesota is bad against the run. Running to the inside, they're almost identical. St. Louis is much better at stopping the short inside run. Kennedy had as many sacks last year as John Henderson in less time, and St. Louis was better at stuffing the run and stopping the run inside. St. Louis was dead last against the run, but it wasn't inside. The ends - ESPECIALLY Little - are horrible against the run, and the Rams have no good linebackers. I watched team after team run to the outside on the Rams time after time. It worked and they couldn't stop it.

If you doubt these stats, look at them. Miami's weakest spot was the right end. Its two best spots were up the middle (best in the league, thanks to Keith Traylor) and the left end (thanks to Taylor). Right tackle was weakest, probably due to rookie Roth and the DE rotation we used. Overall, due to a strong LB core and a strong line, Miami was 3rd in the league.
