Our Offensive Line

Very much agree though that the D-Line we are running out there is too good to have an overall performance like the one we saw last Sunday.  I think they will rebound in a very big way against Pit.  The interior O-Line just flat out needs to look like a totally different unit than a week ago.  I have faith Zeitler can do an about-face from the week one clunker.  Bodine?  Good lord, I hope so...

Yeah, I mean Zeitler is a good guard and will rebound.  But I share Lap's wonder at the fundamental nature of his poor play Sunday.   Lap said nothing about the lack of familiarity with Og - mostly because that was not the trouble spot (other than the rookie mistakes Og made that you could expect against a good D-line).  The area of the black hole on the line that day was the C/ RG spot.  And it was an open gate most of the game.

Bodine.   I've nurtured a tiny nugget of hope that he'll realize his "potential".  But I've entered the molecular level of hope.  A few more games like this and it will go subatomic.
