The line is quite offensive right now

I disagree with those who say we are 2 or 3 years from being competitive and that we need to blow it up. Atlanta and Miami turned into playoff teams after terrible seasons. We need to blow our O-line up, that is it. And I believe the line can be turned around in one offseason if we draft well.

The D-line was turned into a strength in one year, there is no reason that they cannot do the same on the other side.

Btw...I will be so happy when Randal-Fail and Heyer are gone.

Both of those teams got quality QB's before the year started. Atlanta miraculously hit on a franchise guy with the 3rd pick and Miami lucked out when Pennington got cut to make room for Farve. Also if memory serves me correctly Atlanta gave up 47 sacks in 2007. As of week 5 they've only given up 19 sacks since the opener in 2008. This was with virtually the same line. Though they did invest draft picks (1st for Sam Baker and a 2nd for Justin Blalock).

I mean I'm all for rebuilding the line and maybe we already have the QB we need in JC but it should be noted that both teams found top notch QB's going into the season while retooling their lines. Also just a note, Sam Baker only played half the games due to injury and was the only new addition to the starting 5 for Atlanta though they should get credit for using a high draft pick on a lineman.
