After all it could not have began in a worse way.  Our LT on suspension and most of the rest nicked up from practice with a team coached by a disciple of Jeff Fisher. I sure hope they have done enough to correct this issue. Last year it was almost comical at times.

FOUR left guards over the first half of the season. I don't think we can overstate just how bad the revolving door on the left side was last year at both tackle and guard. Then the worst guy on the line plays every snap, lol. I remember distinctly watching the Falcons game down at Lynch's and when Lawrence threw that beautiful TD pass to Ridley and just got blown up by the DT I thought, "He's not going to last the season that way." Here's the link to the YouTube, it won't play embedded so you'll have to go there. It was a great play for him to dodge the blitz to begin with, but the second guy smoked him. He's a tough kid and hopped right up, but that play was the one where I really thought he wasn't going to survive the season because we were seeing those hits several times a game at that point. No one holds up to that kind of beating in this League.
