Is Wade the problem? Thinking about the O-line

I would like to see Heyer (if he's healthy, of course) out there. Yes, he's got liabilities, but I think he's got more upside. Further, it may be time to give DeMulling a try--at least to see how he works with the line. I know that the o-line is in flux and messing with it more may be trouble, but IMO it's just not working now. And a Gibbs/Saunders O without a good line is just what we're seeing--poo.

Thoughts?

Wade is what he is. He's not a full time starter. Look at his whole NFL career. He gets hurt alot and isn't durable and when he does play he isn't all that good. He is a stop gap player that you can get by with for a game or two. We put way to much stock in his one start last year against TB.

New Orleans. He started against New Orleans.

Wade is awful and Fabini plays like his shoestrings were tied together while he wasn't looking. When you have two worthless loads like that next to each other, their mistakes are compounded. As long as they are in the game, we will struggle offensively which means we will struggle to win games. It's such a shame that Randy Thomas got hurt. I think we could have survived Wade/Heyer at tackle with him doing what he does at Guard.
