The lack of contingency plans for that offensive line in 2023 in general was concerning. Having the historical injuries with Cam Robinson at LT, Ben Bartch coming back from not playing football since October of 2022, Scherff's historical injuries and then only addressing the RT position early was just bad.

The admission of failure there lies within them trading for Ezra Cleveland before the deadline. The luxury picks of a glorified FB in RD2 and a turnover prone (again, knew this leaving Auburn) in RD3 is what makes it unforgivable.

Tank's rookie campaign was better than ETN and Snoop's combined, so there's hope. I think he'll be ok this year in the role he had at the end of the year. Doesn't matter if they don't fix the line though.

Tank will be ok. He had 2 fumbles last year. One against Houston where our whole team had a brain fart. Yea Tank was standing there just holding the incomplete backward pass. However, he had 10 other teammates standing around him that had the same brain fart as well. The second was on a rainy day against Pittsburgh when a DT split a double team and hit him in the backfield. He was held upright while the DT and DE pounded on the ball. I actually though the refs should have blown the whistle. So yea he had TWO fumbles in the season.
