Right now, we have no elite guys on the O-Line. Norwell is good, Linder is good, Cann has improved to a serviceable level and our OT's just flat out stink! I know a lot of people hate Robinson and rightly so, but Taylor is even worse imo. At least Robinson is a better run blocker, but that could be from Norwell helping him out. A lot of Robinson's runs come from the left side.

I know we view the Jag's tackless as horrible, but I guarantee you at least a few teams would take every one of our starting offensive lineman, and I don't just mean really bad or injured teams. The key is that none would go to the same team, because they fit different systems and don't work together. And the QB and playbook is not helping them maximize their effectiveness. Also not having good blocking TE's is another major issue that hurts the offensive line.

A lot of this is due to coaching, schemes, etc. I'm definitely not saying they should keep all them or any particular one. Need to see what the new coaching staff looks like first.
