year before that Joe was coming off the ACL and wasn't 100% yet

so hopefully we will see a better start this season despite Joe's calf injury

Last year we had four new starters on the OL who literally had played zero snaps together prior to Opening Day. Add in Joe's appendicitis and it was a recipe for trouble. Hopefully our returning four starters on the OL this time and no Joe appendicitis should add up to not looking so totally rusty and out of sync.
