I hear you, but I'm starting to feel better about the O-line. JLC and others have been saying very, very positive things about Rinehart, who can play guard and tackle. Additionally, we re-signed Fabini and he played well enough at RG last season. So, we have decent depth at both guard positions. Additionally, Kendall appears to be our backup center and, with Rinehart in the fold, we shouldn't struggle too much if Rabach goes down. Finally, Heyer can play both tackle positions. While I'm not 100% sold on Heyer ever becoming a solid starter, he does alright if a RB, FB, or TE stays in to chip his man.

The only area that really concerns me is our LB corps. We don't have any salty, backup vets at LB.
