The Front Office fooled the fans again...

This does not absolve Taylor and the coaches of all blame, but when you're basically down to your 4th string LT, you're in bad shape.  This team lacks talent and depth, and it may take them years to be competitive again.  But I can tell you right now, so long as this team refuses to be more aggressive in free agency, it's going to be later rather than sooner.  Relying on draft picks and bottom-of-the-barrel free agents isn't going to cut it.

Agreed. Also ZT doesn't have AJ out there either, when at this point last year AJ, Boling, and Glenn were playing. Three big losses on offense to start the year off against three good teams.
