Trying to stay positive, last night I kept going back and forth.
Last year, we had a horrible line. It was just bad. Everyone pointed to the center as the reason, but all the blame can't be placed on Bodine. I think if it had been a normal year (not contracts for Whit and Zeitler) and if it had been somebody besides Whit (who is generally liked by everybody), people would have been calling for changes. More than just 'we need a new center.'
We started in that direction a couple years ago, drafting OL.
I don't think the line will be much better next year, but I honestly don't think it will be any worse. And long-term, we might be better off for it.
