I would say that if we fail to reach the playoffs this season and it can even partially be attributed to the offensive line, i think we should blow up the majority of our line (with the exception of dockery and maybe samuels depending on health) and start over there (i.e. draft, trade, beg, borrow, deal, whatever). Stop gaps wont make us an elite unit there.

I wouldn't. I'd say when healthy they can be top ten in the NFL. The exact same line from 2008 (with an upgraded LG) was considered elite in the first half. Led the league in rushing and provided JC with excellent protection.

Imo the OL was decent in pass protection good at run blocking during the 1st half.

I don't think at any point we had the type of OL that could line up and dominate.
A great OL imo should be able to run against 7/8 man fronts, like the Giants. We cannot.
Imo our passing game and running game complement each other.
Neither is good enough on their own to hang your hat on.
