Agreed. I've been saying for several years that we need an offseason where o-line is priority 1A. We haven't had such an offseason over the last half dozen years with this problem.
I'm not talking about drafting a guy in round 2 and signing 1 decent free agent. Or drafting a 1st rounder and calling it a wrap.
I'm talking signing a couple really good free agents and throwing 3 draft picks at it (1st rounder, 3rd and 5th rounder for example). I want a slew of fresh faces on the line. A complete overhaul. Treat it like you have a franchise QB and this has been a primary issue for 6 years.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
