... and suddenly we're on average 5 or so years younger across the o-line. Sounds too easy almost.

given that we have zero young talent on the O line i think it would be smart to get a couple pete kendall types to help bridge the 2 year gap its going to take to put together a young starting talent group of lineman.

i just dont like the idea of expecting 1 or 2 rookies to come in and start right away.

(heyer is still a work in progress and i dont want to rely on him as an answer yet)

go skins!!

just for comparison's sake, I believe the colts start 2 rooks on their o line. I think that was part of their slow start along w/Manning missing camp. It's unlikely we'd get 2 rookies in the draft that could win starting jobs their first year, but it would be great if we did. Unless heyer can transform himself, he looks like a career backup.
