We could have/should have for the last many years, why start now?We could bring in four new offensive lineman next year.

The team only gave up 30 sacks last year...and that was with Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner on the team for the first six weeks. It's the inconsistencies in the run blocking, the pressures given up in the pass blocking, the occasional brain farts by the RBs and TEs on pass blocking and blitz pickups.With good coaching, these guys would form a decent line. I think the problem is more position coach than talent. 3 former #1's and a former Probowler in Bushrod... No way they should give up their usual 50+ sacks this year.
Charles Harris looks like he's gonna be a dud. Sigh.The team only gave up 30 sacks last year...and that was with Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner on the team for the first six weeks.

My biggest issue with our O-line has always been the lack of athleticism on the interior which limits the ability to pull and get to the second level. I wanted them to draft Forrest Lamp in the 1st round but they wanted a pass rusher in Charles Harris...[sarcasm]who has been lights out so far [/sarcasm]
