What a pile of BS excuses for doing NOTHING during the season to fix it. I'm even more disgusted than I was.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was probably halfway through the media session when Grier was asked about the offensive line, and he chuckled and said he was surprised it took that long for someone to ask about that group in light of his famous line about the media being more concerned about it than he was.

"Really, when I said that, and I'm not trying to backtrack, I believe in that, but I will always support a group of guys that have worked with a coach that we believe in, that tirelessly works to improve," Grier said. "And that group did nothing but work, and they still, it's the hardest-working group in the building. Like, if you stay after practice, and you guys have seen there's some times you guys go back out and walk in the locker, those guys are still out on the field working."

Which guys Grier?

Armstead?

Could you possibly imagine how bad they would be with a shitty work ethic?

I also think it's easy to be the hardest working unit on a team of slackers. Maybe if we actually ran full practices things would look different.

I can only hope Grier said this as a way to show he recognizes that they lack talent.

The concern about the o-line is directly traced to Grier's inability to find quality lineman, not a lack of investment in the position group.

Well, he also has the same simplistic positional value that many on here do. You simply don't draft IOL early. A tackle is better then a Center etc. this is why Miami has Eichenberg and not Creed Humphry

You could have Zack Martin/Q Nelson/Joe Thuney-/ Creed Humphrey and Austin Jackson sitting there at 45 and he'll take Jackson because of his positional value. Much like many of the gurus in here would whether they'd admit it or not.

Apparently it doesn’t take much to be the “hardest working group in the building “

Really? Tell me which new guards were brought in this offseason after losing Hunt? And which were brought in during the season once it was glaringly obvious that Eich and Jones were complete đź’©?

Both areas are Grier's failure.

Pretty sure I recall camp reports about them leaving practice way before the other team in joint practices. Granted that's not EVERY practice, but it leaves an impression, and that impression says Grier is full of ****.
