Rabach, Thomas, and Jansen/Heyer have all had their moments of shitty play.

Agreed, but we can fix one of those problems with a young upcoming tackle in Heyer right now. Heyer can actually block speed rushers and stand up the bull rushers. Jansen can't do it like that no more. His last injury really hurt him. Heck, I'm even surprised he was able to come back from that. Because that picture they showed of that ankle...............I'm not a mathematician, but that spelled ouch in 27 different languages.

I love Jansen he really anchored that part of the line for us for many years. He played through injuries while shutting down Michael Strahan, Julius Peppers, and other top noch pass rushers. But, if Campbell really is the fifth most sacked quarterback in the league we got to do something too change that. I don't care if we keep Jansen on the line, but we should place Lorenzo Alexander on the line next to Jansen. Then Cooley or Yoder next to Samuels or Alexander. Something must be done!

Portis' great pass blocking skills, even when he's hurt, has forced teams to blitz the outside a heck of alot more. And with Jansen playing the way he is and Samuels playing on a bumb knee.............defenses are just licking their chops! It seems as if that part is always open for a quick pressure by the defense when they need to bring it. And we can't let that continue.

We can't let Campbell continue to get hit the way he has been. Our offense will sputter and we will lose against the Ravens, and definetly against San Fran, and maybe even the Bengals too! Marvin Lewis knows how to bring pressure. And he's going to want too go out with a bang. I can't see a better way then to beat your former team, which hired a dumbass college coach over you.
