Fisher barely played at rt but near ebd if year looked really good. The rg and center should be our focus.
They cannot run block. They cannot stop a bull rush. They cannot get in the right position.
The only new comer is Westerman, who didn't play at all last year. I don't see how he can play all 5 positions at the same time.

He gave up 2 sacks but the other 41 passing plays his man was nowhere near the qb and ogbuehi was more than holding his own against an elite pass rusher. Never once did that at right tackle. Gives me hope. If we can then draft a center which a good center makes the whole line click, i think we could be an above average oline.
Fisher, I can see a tad bit of improvement, but he was already here. Westerman is a total unknown, but Boling had to play most of last year with a shoulder injury and Westerman couldn't even be counted on to spell him. That's not exactly reassuring to me. If you're going to rely on the draft, you BETTER get a 100%, grade A, ready for the prime time, can't miss prospect to fill all of those holes, because our Canton bound o line coach even said himself, he can't coach them during the season.
Sorry if I don't share your optimism, but it's been shit show from the day Paul Brown died. I can't believe I let myself get suckered back in.
