Quote:Didnt we have a decent not great line bedore Caldwell traded away Eugene Monroe? Just think about if we still had Monroe, Mojo, Daryl Smith ? Some of Caldwell decisions might be backfiring against us.

 

Well, you can't rebuild an entire team from the ground up in just 2 seasons.  In some ways we're like a second year expansion team.  I think the OL will get better as the year goes by, but obviously that's a point of emphasis.  Trading away Monroe was a good thing.  I think the jury is definitely out on Joeckle at this point.  And he did try to after Mack so it's not like he didn't recognize there were issues, but it's not like you can hire pro-bowl quality lineman from the lunch counter at McDonalds.
