You are correct. We have multiple problems, but they have to be fixed on a worst first basis..............and the O-line is our worst problem. Additionally, it is such a limiting factor, it is not possible to fairly evaluate JC, Zorn, etc until that is fixed.
Look at Mark Rypien's performance when the Hog's were in their prime and.......not. That may be the kind of protection required for JC to have success.
