Russell Bodine leading our line... that's a scary thought.

Bodine is not and idiot, he is just bad at pass protection, but you have a valid point.

I just hope he is somewhat solid this year and Dielman or an early draft pick take his place.

If we re-sign him i will be majorly pizzzzzed off!!!

He has no upside, the reason for drafting him in the first place was he was strong and smart. Nothing to do with talent.

Meanwhile you look at the teams that are in there winning it all and/or going deep in the playoffs consistently, and they do place value on the interior line. People like to bring up the Alex Mack to Atlanta example and it is a valid one - they saw they had real issues on the inside and went out and fixed it and the effect on their offense was hugely positive.

The problem is Paul piano man Alexander...

And that MB does not value the Center position near enough. It is fine to draft mid to late rounders if your coach can coach them up...
