Quote:I get your point about building the offensive line... in fact I myself have harped this point. However, you must also understand that players like Boselli, Searcy, Coleman, Tylski, etc. do not grow on trees. The franchise was allowed some extra cap room when they were first starting out that allowed TC to pick up these players. Dave is hamstrung by the fact that he is limited to what is available. Regrettably, he has chosen to acquire the high visability players (like receivers, backs, etc) before investing in the line grunts. Too bad; that is (imho) a recipe for failure.

 

Games are won and lost in the trenches. That should be tattooed on Dave's forehead so he won't forget it. With a good line, Bortles would be acceptable, even now.
