For one thing our O-Line is playing up against a much more aggressive 3-4 D. This will only make them better. I'm not sold on the line yet but I am satisfied that the rebuilding of the line is underway.

I would like for us to get a damn good center and another LT in the next draft. After that I think we can afford to pick one lineman a year for awhile. Dockey and Raback will not last and these other guys we picked up aren't Spring chickens. Will Robison, Rhinehardt, Williams go the distance? Will Stephanie Heyor? Will Armstrong?

I'll have to wait and see. But what I do see I like.

Buges didn't have a RT worth anything to work with by the end of his tenure and Samuels was deteriorating even without the hit that ended his career because his knee was giving him trouble. Then Randy Thomas was injured at the worst of times and the backups were terrible.

Really, the blame falls on whoever was that genius who traded away picks and hoped to depend almost entirely on the UDFA pool and wtf-turrible practice squad scrubs like D'Anthony Batiste to provide the team with its offensive linemen.
