Kevin Carberry, who had been with the Los Angeles Rams since 2021, was one of the many names on the chopping block during LA’s massive staff overhaul on Jan. 18.
Former Los Angeles Rams offensive line coach Kevin Carberry has been hired by the New Orleans Saints to be their next assistant for the o-line, per reports Wednesday from ESPN.
Carberry, who had been with the Rams since 2021, was one of the many names on the chopping block during LA’s massive staff overhaul on Jan. 18.
Carberry, Special Teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis, defensive backs coach Jonathan Cooley, assistant defensive line coach Skyler Jones and Defensive Assistant Lance Schulters were all let go after a disappointing 5-12 season.
While much of the reason for LA’s forgettable year was understandably focused on injuries, poor offensive line play was at the center of attention as well.
This unit was hit hard with the injury bug, but the Rams were likely headed toward an less-than-ideal season up front anyways. LA showed some late-season improvement in the ground game, but still managed to finish with just the sixth-fewest rushing yards per game (97.7).
Even worse, the Rams o-line allowed 59 combined sacks across the four different quarterbacks the team deployed. If Matthew Stafford, Baker Mayfield, John Wolford and Bryce Perkins were all one morphed into one person, this would’ve marked the most sacks taken in the league last season.
But with the new changes, the Rams will now get to see what kind of improvements are upon them. Lucky for them, the only way is up.
