say, "This is an easy hole" in the tee box, is the same law that keeps me from saying, "Well, we couldn't be any worse next year than we were this year, can we?"

Portal attrition then injuries to Meadows, Cunningham, and others wrecked an already fragile OL room, then add in an offensive scheme that doesn't match the QB, and you have a disaster. Amazing and totally forgotten is that this OL despite almost zero threat of the forward pass was I think in the top 5 in run efficiency in the country. Both tackle positions will be much improved, and there is potentially legitimate depth that will prevent a single injury scuttling the entire OL. There is young, unproven talent that will take time to develop, but there are more legit bodies there that increases the odds of guys developing and being ready.

Good for an OL. They are already a good run blocking unit so they aren’t incompetent. Not having a DL and LBs that doesn’t have to respect the pass game in front of them is going to matter a lot. It’s not the only thing that needs to be fixed but it’s a good place to start.

He just isn't going to be used as a running "battering ram" like Drones.
