Offensive Line and Depth

[Chico23231]

Good thread, I wouldnt call this a recent concern unless you consider "recent" last year's second half collapse due to the banged up O-Line and second string playas coming in and playing horrible. GTripp point of basic feeling of weathering injuries to interior line I would completely agree with. First to question Buges ability of judging talent, come on, Buges is one of greatest oline coaches of all time, but he was the coach to those guys end of last season who were getting their asses handed to them weekly. I bet if you asked Buges around draft time "Could you use some 4th, 5th, and 6th round talent to come in and challenge for depth positions along the O-Line?" Buges would have said Hell Yeah. Its not Buges, but the FO in my opinion. I like our inside guys but the tackles are the guys that worry me the most. So at tackle, a quality vet would ease my mind. Bridges wasnt that guy, he had off the field issues when he signed him and his best position was guard not tackle, so him getting cut is not a big deal with me. Mike Williams is simply indefensible. Did everyone see him play? The guy was horrible. Yes having Michael Oher would be awesome and would greatly help the depth at tackle cause Heyer would be a back up. Oher vs Rak is petty at this point and not fair for at least several years. Both guys are impressive. The whole youth vs experience, my take is you need a mix. We actually have it with the starters.
