You are correct an OL is as strong as it's weakest link....Our weakest link is right in the middle but for some reason that is never addressed with this team.   And this year Zeitler was not as good as in years past because he was worrying about Bodine on his left and the rotating RT to his right.

I've noticed at least the last few years that the oline is where Marvin is most likely to start a rookie. Which seems backwards to most teams that throw rookies into the fire at wr or lb or rb, but rotate rookie linemen sparingly.

just one more reason Marvin's coaching makes me drink too much a few months out of the year.
