We blew the first half of our season last year trying to play with a discombobulated offensive line. And the problems generated directly out of that right tackle position. Bodine was lackluster, but he did improve somewhat. We might have covered for him at center, but when you add Ogbuehi's total confusion it was a total disaster. And Ced didn't seem to improve at all.
We could see after two or three games it was going to suck, and still we insisted on trying to prove that lineup could work. We did finally make a move with Winston and things improved somewhat, but in truth, we never recovered and the season was mayhem.
Now, after watching that disaster, seeing what disorganized line play did to us, we are going to let a very good lineman get away from us? I actually think Fisher can maybe hold the position down with a full training camp under him, but we don't know that for sure. And he certainly won't if we end up with sub par play right beside him at right guard.
We should be doing everything we can to strengthen that line, not going the other way.
