Beem, I'm with you, our backup O-line looked horrible the other night. I mean after Portis' 8 yard run we had about 30 yards on the ground the rest of the night. Folau is an experienced guy and I bet after watching the film, that Joe Bugle was disgusted with what he saw. The Skins really need to find 2 or 3 solid guys who can play O-line without a serious drop off in talent. I don't think they have that right now.

Scowan, I agree I O-Line looked horrible - together. Key is they were together. Chances are slim to none that we'll see five second stringers on the field at the same time during regular season. With that being said, even if we have to shufffle players in and out, we'll have at least 3 healthy guys somewhere around them. So I think what we saw, is something we'll never likely to see in when the bullets begin to fly.

I think you just have to hope that Pucillo, Tyson Walter, and maybe this guy Folau will be enough to fill in the gaps should one of the starters get nicked up.

12thMan has a good point, too. If Samuels, Dockery, Rabach, Thomas, and Jansen all go out at the same time for 4 games or more, only then will it be time for all of us to put pistols in our mouths.

Figuratively speaking, of course.
