Again, I don't personally feel that this team is one player away from winning it all. Getting really, really bad 2007 going into 2008 vibes at the moment. We all thought we needed pass rushers after we lost to New England due to a botched QB situation between Leftwich and Garrard and we ended up betting the farm on guys like Harvey and Groves.

This left us scraping up street free agent no names mid week to start in games that very same Sunday along the offensive line after it completely fell apart. The fact that we have seen minimal discussions or interviews from this class with this group of lineman is concerning. Especially considering the durability concerns with Robinson at LT, Bartch at LG and Scherff at RG. Little still has to get his work and teeth cut this summer in hopes of resolving our RT position.

While having Wells back is nice. He's a swing tackle that we need. He's also coming back from IR. This unit is going to be rusty man. Just have a bad feeling about it. Especially with this schedule and the opponents listed on it. Trust in Baalke I guess but if they fork over a 2nd or 3rd RD pick while swapping out the 24th pick to move up to draft an edge rusher? That's going to leave our [BLEEP] out to dry potentially when we're going to need more pass protection.
