Now, they've also gotten off to a craptastic start at implementing the talent they do have on Sundays.

They did say that the o-line was the one part of this team that could remain stable while the rest of the squad required talent everywhere.  That announcement was met with universal derision on these boards.  Contrary to the mob's position, though, it's proven to be well-judged.  Reasoned, rational criticism of UM should at least start with that acknowledgement.

If TLaw wasn't getting the ball out as quickly as he has been, that line would be showing its glaring weaknesses. It is a line built for run blocking, as we can see when they actually let JRob run. Are you seriously stating that Taylor is fine as our long-term RT? Cann can't stay healthy, and our high pick can't seem to get on the field.

The line could still use attention. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the line could ALWAYS use attention. That's how important that position group is to a team's success.
