Bodine was a weak link last year and now his poor play is over shadowed by the departure of Z and Whit. I just hope they know what their doing cause this FA and draft went by and they seemed to give the impression that the line is fine and dandy. Maybe they see good things in Westerman, Mayock seemed impressed with him.
As far as the offensive talent I agree 100% if these guys live up to the hype and we stay healthy look out. I've been saying this is the year it all comes together. I just hope all this potential talent on offense isn't wasted due to poor line play and the fact that Brown & Co seemed content with it would make it even more frustrating than it already is.
All understandable. Bodine is still a weak link whether PA wants to admit it or not. But we do have Westerman as you
mention and JJ Dielman, one of which might show up in the future at Center or Guard. Redmond i have also heard a lot
of good about now that he has a decent weight room.
It would suck if all this talent is wasted cause they didn't prepare for our Tackles sucking and our Center continuing to
suck. But as of right now both of these OT's look miles ahead of last year both physically and mentally.

But they do have Martellus Bennett.... who is arguably the better right end outside of the insane 13 td season. (Brennet has more catches each of the last 5 years than eiferts career year and has also gained more yards in 4/5) he also doesn't miss many games
And while the patriots don't have green, they do have cooks, amendola, hogan, Edelman who all
Fit their system.
Bengals are top 5 for sure.
Raider, Tampa, jags, dolphins also have really good skill players/potential
Thanks Bengalbug, didn't know the Pack got Bennett, damn. Cooks was a nice grab by the Pats, i just don't have him
in AJ Green's category. I agree though, Bengals are definately top 5 when healthy. AJ was pushing Julio for the best
WR in the league last year before the injury and he is in his prime. Eifert when healthy is the best route running TE in
all of football IMHO. Ross is not just speed, he is a dynamic player after the catch and in space and is a good route
runner with good hands.
Boyd is a very good route runner as well with great hands and he should only improve in his 2nd year. Lafell is very
solid and experienced, also should improve in his 2nd year here. Malone and Core have very high ceilings. Then with
Gio healthy and Mixon now in the fold with the depth at TE i just don't know of a more deep arsenal.
