I know I'm an old school set in his ways dinosaur but... IMHO the lines both O and D are bar faarrrr our biggest issue. Bar none

In many, many, games we can't give Joe any time. We can't get 3rd and a yard and a half (get in shotgun with an empty backfield) We can't get any pressure on opposing QB's outside of Trey (who's being double teamed and held) Can't stop from getting gashed regularly by runs. Just on and on.

I wouldn't be upset if they went DL,OL,DL,OL in the upcoming draft. Now here comes the analytics stat head geeks to make fun of me, LOL. 

We all agree we need to fix the trenches. But it is my hope we go after a high-end FA guard and a high-end DL in free agency.

I have concerns on counting on rookies to plug and play. OL and DL rookies seem to lack the strength to become all pros in year one and sometimes year 2 as well. I hope we get our OL and DL set prior to the draft, then we can still draft the trenches, but not have to throw them in the fire week 1.

There has to be better options available than Volson, Cappa and Ford in FA. We need to sign one of them and use money saved by cutting Cappa. Volson is a cheap back up who needs to be fighting for a roster spot. I also interested to see if a new OL coach can improve our existing OL, other than Cappa, but not at the expense of counting on them to make guys great immediately.
