That is, if this inability to block speed rushers effectively even proves true.

Is that going to be enough to fend off JJ Watt and Clowney week two?

If Robinson's knee is strong enough that he really trusts it  - and Taylor isn't a bust, then this o-line can handle the tinhorns pass rush well enough to win. 

Their o-line vs our pass rush is a much greater mismatch. (in our favor) 

Mercilus is actually the pass rusher from that team that I'd be most concerned about versus our line. He has been quite a handful for Cann and Parnell before. Should be a good test to see where Taylor's readiness level is as a rookie.

I know folks have varying levels of concern about our line this year, but Robinson's knee and Taylor's readiness are my only real concerns, and I feel pretty good about that coming together by September. 
 (I'd hoped we'd upgrade Cann at RG, but that's more of a run-blocking issue for me.)

As a side note here, I really liked reading that Richardson felt he was benefiting greatly from Warhop's teaching. 
He could turn out to be a quality depth piece down the stretch for this group -- and many of us have felt some concern about that Flaherty to Warhop coaching change.
