Agreed! We have one of the worst...if not the worst offensive line in football.
We've added a couple shiny weapons on offense and people are talking playoff and Super Bowl.
We've yet to replace guys like Nelson and Hall. We've yet to replace Whitworth and Zeitler with capable players. Andre Smith may soften the blow of losing Zeitler...but he's injured a lot. When we drafted him there was that image of him running shirtless at his combine and we wondered how he'd age. He's just not an incredibly fit guy and that may lead to injuries.
On paper, this roster is nowhere close to our roster of 2 years ago.
People are projecting Mixon and Ross to be Pro Bowl caliber guys from Day 1...I just don't see it.
