The biggest concern is the lack of push up front in the running game. Over the years though they have factually and statistically improved in pass protection. So there's at least that one lone bright spot.

At some point I think we need to consider kicking Linder back inside at guard. Don't care if it's left or right. And I would prefer to see Bowanko installed at center. And I don't think Cann is all that great. I know this team is big on him. I am not. He hasn't really shown me much to be impressed.

I think he's honestly going to lose his starting job this pre-season to Omameh, Poutasi or Watford. Robinson should be the left tackle. Parnell is supposedly a good right tackle when he's healthy. And apparently he wasn't at full health last year. So we'll see.

If they continue to struggle this pre-season though they'll have no choice but to go out in obvious run formations. Probably see a lot of twin tight-end formations with Lewis or Koyack assisting the tackles and then another full back or even another tight end like Sterling or Rivera lined up as the full back to offer some kind of possibe misdirection for Fournette to get free.

We'll see soon enough this Thursday night. You can't hide your trenches. We'll know instantly if they're going to be good or not, at least in the beginning. You either hold up at the point of attack or you fold like a house of cards.
