But overall, the line was pretty solid. OL can typically be fine with one bad performer.
Then in 2016 Andre Smith left and we saw how impactful it was to have a bad center along with a bad RT.
And finally, the culmination, losing LT and RG, which showed just how terrible these players really are.
It's pathetic, and we all knew it, but some fans (for some stupid reason) had faith/belief that these players would magically improve with more coaching.
That would probably be because the people who are supposed to know what the heck they are talking about - as evidenced by their hefty paychecks - were assuring us that there was not a problem and that these players WOULD magically improve with more coaching... Just leave it to the professionals.
But you don't have to be an ornithologist to know we have at least 3 Dodos on that line that are incapable of flight.
