To me Billy Price was the biggest disappointment on an entire team of dissappointments last year.

I don't judge players by their rookie seasons, and I really thought Prices struggles in 2018 were mostly due to recovering from and injury and not being able to lift over the offseason.  I 100% expected him to be a key to improving our O-line last year.  

But he looked bad last year.  So bad that I no longer have a lot of hope for him.  But he is still very young and he had some other injury issues in 2019.  If he comes in 100% healthy and plays like a first round pick he could be a life saver.  

I realize there is a big element of "hoping and wishing" when it comes to Price being good in 2020, but I still think OG is the weakest positionon the team.  People don't want to admit it, but there is also a lot of "hoping and wishing" when it comes to Su'a-Filo (a back up since being cut by the Titans in 2018 and signed for less than we paid Miller) and Michael Jordan (4th round pick who looked real bad last year).

I am not rooting "for" or "against" any of these guys.  I don't care which one(s) step up.  I just want someone to. 

Agree with the realistic outlook on Price.  Like ShRacerX said it's a lottery ticket expectation.   Long odds, but the potential for a big payoff.   Injuries can totally destroy a player's performance, but after all the reading I've done the problems he exhibited so far were present in college.

We'll see.   If he panned out and beat out Su'a Filo I'd be psyched.   But as you say, if two of the guards step up, it doesn't matter which ones.
