Quote:They signed Rodney Hudson who is a stud center, and he wanted to test the market, plus its Oakland

You and a few others mentioned that. I had forgotten (or not paid enough attention to) the Raiders' center situation. Makes sense. Glad we have some quality depth and a decent starting 5 across the front now. Bortles needs much more protection than what he received last year if this offense is going to grow.


The key will be Joeckel's development and strength training this offseason. He's supposedly adding weight and muscle and if he does, the line could turn from a weakness to a strength. The play of Joeckel remains the key ingredient to that unit's success.
