They did...
Albert LT/LG (this is how it was supposed to shake out, him at one, Robinson at the other)
Also signed Earl Watford for experience depth
 -4 seasons with the Cards, with 12 starts in 33 games played...

So it isn't like they were just like "Oh we're all set" They made some moves... but didn't bring in 5 new starter faces. And didn't spend multiple mid round picks on OG (which is what half the MB wanted... Lamp in 2nd and Feeney in 3rd)

There has been a lot of shade thrown at the O-Line issues (especially by the BCC brethren) but I specifically remember ol Alfie saying he wasn't worried about them not bringing in or drafting a lot of O-Line guys...

I remember hearing how well Omameh was doing pre-injury and how well Parnell did post-injury if we hope they pick up there... and Linder is as good or better at Center....
LT was the only issue. If Cam Robinson is as advertised... I really don't get all the hooplah.

EDIT: I know you probably meant signing a big name FA... and I'm sure they tried to an extent... but they felt good enough about their guys to not overpay..
I suppose it would have been nice to end up with Zietler or one of the other top guys... but we can't get em all... they aren't pokemon lol
