cant argue with you ktown but i think albert is a much bigger upgrade than youre making him out to be. im trying to stay positive man in hoping smith turns into a player and martin(if hes there) has an excellent rookie season. we're due to hit on a 1st round pick sometime in my lifetime.

OL will be better. Lazor had the number 1 rushin offense last year so lots more running will happen.

That's because they had Shady McCoy. We don't have anyone resembling his talent.

what does the rushing offense have to do with their qb coach

I guess an argument can be made that it's possible for the OL next season to actually be worse. - at least 4 notches worse!
However considering the Advanced NFL stats objectively rank free-fall from #6 in '12 to #28 in '13, it's incredible RT17 actually demonstrated marked improvement. :idk:
I agree with your sentiment Vaark. We sucked colossally last season. We were utterly inept in run blocking except when we sprung an extra OL or used a TE as an extra battering ram FB and other one - game gimics. And our pass protection was the worst in the league. I agree with all of that.
But I can not really take those ranking in good faith. I mean, San Fran is 31st!?!?!? I'd say that is the best OL in football. New England is 24th? That's an awesome OL and probably top 5 as well. Seattle is ranked poorly too (21st). I realize these are mainly run blocking lines, but IMHO, somewhere these metrics are off.
Your point remains a strong one though, as every ranking would show last year's Miami OL as one of the very worst.
