As most of you know I am not one of the "hopeless doom and gloom" guys when it comes to our O-line.  I don't see it as being top of the league, but "average" to "above average" could be pretty damn productive with our weapons at the skill positions.

But the lack of depth terrifies me.  Of our starting 5 only Quinton Spain was the only one who did not miss time games with injury last year.  I like the potential of Carman and Smith, but they are still rookie wild cards.  And neither Johnson nor Prince have looked any good.

So I am not saying they needed to have signed an $18 million-a-year free agent, but I really wish they would have signed a decent swing Tackle  or a solid older vet who could play both OT and OG.

Injuries killed our o-line as much as lack of talent.  We had 11 different O-linemen start for us last year.  Three of them started at more than one position.  Altogether we had 11 different starting o-line combinations.
