In my opinion, the entire key to this season is going to be the play of the OL.  They have the skill position weaponry on board to put up Patriots like numbers on the scoreboard, but will the OL be able to give Andy time, and open holes for the RBs?  I have every confidence in the defense to stand strong, and pull out some 10-7, 13-10 kind of games, but every now and then, you have to be able to win a shootout as well.

And this is where his credibility breaks down.   Not for being without the passion to win, not for being an intelligent man and not for being a quality individual.   I will be glad to be wrong, but to me letting the fortunes of the team ride on Ogbuehi, Fisher and Smith is just too much of a risk.   He should have retained both Zeitler and Whit - at least Whit.

If for no other reason than to make SURE you have a plan B.
