Unfortunately it's going to take a couple years to build a top oline.

I do think they got the right players at rg and lt, but one is a rookie, the other is a little raw although has flashed.

Daniels is meh at this point coming off an Achilles. It usually takes 1 and a half years to get back from that injury 100%.

The goal is for this group to obviously stay healthy and emerge in December as a plus unit that is on the up

Yep.
 
Mike McDaniel on changing the culture: "You don't fix something by bitching about it and complaining about it. You fix stuff with action. I'm happy with today, knowing that today's not our ultimate vision. Your culture is defined by the people within it and how you execute your daily habits."

In what NFL world does new always equal better, especially under the current regime?

And injuries ALWAYS decimate our OL...and given 3 of our expected starters have had season-ending injuries in the past (all of them except the rookie contracts), color me doubtful this unit can hold it down all year at a level some other teams enjoy.

What have they and this staff shown that gives any reason whatsoever to believe this will be a plus unit, aside from them being new faces?

I didn’t say, or even suggest, that it would be better. I just don’t find it reasonable to criticize an OL that’s never played one NFL game together. It’s like the old “this team hasn’t won a playoff game in 25 years” narrative. This team hasn’t been together for 25 years. Hell, some of these guys weren’t even born 25 years ago. McD was an intern fresh out of college 25 years ago.

However, Butch took a healthy OL a few years ago and made them pretty good.
 
Perkins very purposefully stated on YouTube that while they can't report which specific position players are practicing at, or which string, that Eich has practiced at only one position so far, and that he had bad snap today.

So what he's implying is that Eich is not in consideration for either starting Guard spot, which ostensibly means that his only direct path to the active roster is beating out Meyer for OC2. That's good news.

Weird.

As bad as he was at guard and tackle, center was where he was the weakest out of all the positions he played.
