The O-line is not a concern...

“(The line is) not a concern. We know all areas of our team, particularly the offensive group, have to do a better job of protecting our quarterback and that comes from every person and every position group on the offense,” Lewis said. “(Protecting the passer) is always a priority. It’s never changed. It just doesn’t fall on the line. It falls on everybody.”

IMO, the O-line is the #1 concern at the moment, especially with it looking like Z is gone for sure and the uncertainty with Whit's situation. We could be looking at some major holes/questions on the O-line, not to mention Bodine is still the starting center.

Of course, things could change quickly and everything might look a little better, but as it stands right now, I think the O-line is big reason for concern.

Wow! Marv has lost it!

The O-line just plain sucked last year and its two best players are free agents. If we are to believe the $15M to spend on free agents, which includes re-signing their own, then we have to believe the team isn't looking at improving the O-line. Oh God is that depressing when I think about the team's chances of making a run at the SB in 2017.

It wasn't Jeremy Hill or Gio Bernard or Eifert who causes Oggieboggie boy to whiff so often and so badly or Bodine to get pushed back and back some more. Marv needs a new set of glasses. Actual two sets, one for distance on the field and a pair of reading glasses to see the film on the screen.
