Could It Be?

That would be a big surprise to me.

1. If the talent isn't what everyone says, then a whole heap of talent evaluators, pro-bowl selectors, etc. have it wrong about the individual talent--I'm talking about Samuels, Jansen, and Thomas. Rabach look very good last year on a very strong line. Dockery has flashes. Is everyone just wrong about the individual skill level?

2. Chemistry. New Center. New Right Tackle. That'll take time. Last year, weak center, no right tackle, really (despite the heroics, the ageless Ray Brown is a guard). Can they get chemistry? We'll see, but man, I reall think they can. Jansen is their leader. It will come. My guess is the inside play may take longer, and that will slow the running game for a while.

3. Coaching--I guess I feel that Gibbs and Buges will get this to work.

Given those factors, I feel pretty confident that the line will work. But remember--D's often bring many more blitzers nowadays, so it's not all on the line. That has to develop as well.

It will come--I have confidence. They are good.
