The official word on offensive lineman rotating in

Nice, that is a really clever idea. But honestly, is sacrificing O-line consistency worth a 6th rounder? Our late draft picks this year didn't even make the team...

Here's a good article about offensive line consistency - and how it doesn't happen anymore in the NFL..

Either way, I'd much prefer just having the same guys in there for 30 games in a row. This rotation idea is probably simply he's not satisfied with the current line, and is still looking for the best fit. Basically Dock, Rabach and Hicks haven't earned their spots yet.

Hope we get it together soon. Consistency can't happen until we draft good young kids in there, but when we do -- THAT'S a winning formula.
