Here's a good article about offensive line consistency - and how it doesn't happen anymore in the NFL..
Offensive lines no longer built to last - ESPN

Either way, I'd much prefer just having the same guys in there for 30 games in a row. This rotation idea is probably simply he's not satisfied with the current line, and is still looking for the best fit. Basically Dock, Rabach and Hicks haven't earned their spots yet.

Hope we get it together soon. Consistency can't happen until we draft good young kids in there, but when we do -- THAT'S a winning formula.
If we can make it garbage time for an opponent by blowing them out, I wouldn't mind Heyer taking the garbage reps if that means holding onto a pick. Clever indeed.
