Quote:You are definitely radiating some salt, my man.  We just did really, really well in FA.  We have the draft still.  Guards can come in and play quickly (see Linder).  It's going to be okay.

 

I'm just sick of people downgrading the importance of offensive linemen.   I don't care what offense you're talking about, it will go nowhere without a decent offensive line, and I am pretty frustrated that after 4 years of rebuilding, we have failed to build a decent offensive line.   It's the most important position on the team outside of QB, because a great offensive line controls the ball, keeps the other team off the field, takes pressure off of the quarterback, keeps our own defense off the field.   Offensive line is critical to the success of the team, and yet for year, I hear people say, oh, don't worry, we can get offensive linemen later in the draft.   We need to invest some significant draft capital in our offensive line this year.  

 

But I am very happy about the guys we've apparently signed, don't get me wrong.
