Quote:I understand, but what specifically is it about the ZBS that makes this overhaul "worth it"?  If you know what I mean.

 

If this improves our offensive line next year, great.

 

If the O-line is still a weak area of the team after 2 years of "building" that Caldwell is doing, he has noone to look at than himself for that.

 

I agree.  But we went through several years of no real change on the line already with worsening results.

 

With two young tackles (three if you count our expected swing tackle), then it's only logical that we look to the interior to complete the overhaul.  Meester's retirement and Uche's release afford this opportunity.  Add to that the likelihood that MJD also walks... that timing makes officially "switching gears" at OL re: scheme the perfect opportunity to do it.  "All in" so to speak... committing to the scheme by backing it with interior that suit ZBS.

 

I think the last thing they wanted to do was blow everything up last season from the start.  Instead, they waited and made those kind of moves as they became apparent.  Part of that being, parting ways with Monroe.
