From everything I've heard, the offensive line is the key issue with the Bolts. Many argued, and still do, that they should have taken left tackle Robert Gallery in the draft this year. Eight of the eleven O-linemen from last season are gone, and common sense would say that Gallery would have helped Tomlinson even more, and could have provided at least ONE safe side for Drew Brees to depend on.

Some say that Brees could have been the guy if he had any O-line help. Phillip Rivers won't be able to do anything that Brees or Flutie couldn't do with the linemen he has protecting him.
