Which is interesting, because our SB teams in the 80's had amazing lines. 2005 was an incredible line with very good interior linemen (Braham, Steinbach, Bobbie).

You'd think he'd remember that, but I guess he only remembers Boomer, Kenny, Carson, Ickey, Brooks, Chad and Housh.

That may be part of the problem. 

As fans, we look at those guys (especially after their careers) and go 'man, that guy stood out.' To coaches (and I'm assuming that carries over to owners), that's not always as easy to see because of their involvement day to day. They may know they've got a great guy at one spot, but their familiarity with him may make it harder to see just how good the guy really is compared to others.

Mike may look at some of the good linemen we've had over the years and think they're not that different from the mediocre ones based off the things we fans don't always see (practices, training, etc.).

Or maybe he's just ignorant to the fact that a strong interior is a necessity.
