[offiss]

The offensive line is the heart of a football team, it provides a running game, it provides time for the passing game, and it allows you over all to sustain drives which keeps your defense off the field and fresh, the problem is we have IMO overrated our line we are not good run blockers, we do not have a line that knocks people off the LOS, they have to be utilized differently, as in draws, traps, screens, slant passes, our line is like a boxer who doesn't have one punch knock out power, he has to ware down his opponent in order to knock him out later in the match, I think Gibbs is stuck in a time warp believing he can run the same type of plays he did in his first tenure now, 1 problem, he doesn't have the hogs to knock guys off the LOS, he needs to figure out another way to move the ball to ware teams down, even with a healthy line. He has neglected building depth through the draft at the O-line position as if it is an after thought when it should be his top priority. So cutting Gibbs some slack right now because of a banged up line is definitely justifiable, but his lack of attention to bringing in some real horses for that line rests on him.
