Hart and Glenn were bad tackles last year. Price was Terrible at Center. Miller was in and out of Buffalo's starting lineup due to poor play through his career. And we don't know who the starter will be at the other Guard spot.

We essentially have no starter that I'd look at and call even above average on the offensive line.

I would feel pretty good about our tackles if Jonah wasn't hurt. Next year I'm assuming he won't be hurt. We need to develop our guards a little bit too, and that will just take some coaching and game experience. Next year I'm sure I'll feel better about our guards going into the year--plus, next year we have another draft. I think next year we'll be looking a lot better along the offensive line when you add it all up. This year, we obviously have no depth and a lot of inexperience at guard. Therefore, I don't expect a playoff run this year. I do expect a competitive team, though (based on the skill players we have to work with).

I didn't mean to open up a can of worms by talking about the Patriots. I was just trying to emphasize the impact a really good coach and coaching staff can have, to overcome deficiencies in talent. I am excited to see what Zac has to offer. He could be a really good coach. He could be an average coach. All of this is yet to be determined. It is exciting because we'll be finding out a lot about this coaching staff this year. How well do they make up for deficiencies in talent on the roster? How well do they gameplan and call plays? How successful will they be? They are supposed to be changing the culture and bringing more excitement. I'm wondering if we'll be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel, or if it looks like all this talent is going to be wasted and more mediocrity is to come. I'm trying not to be attached to either outcome.
