Guess what? We knew this would happen. The OL rebuild is not a completed work and no one ever claimed it was. LT and C are worlds better than the last two seasons and LG is solid but RG and RT are up in the air - and tonight Hart got owned. But preseason is a better time to see this than the regular season. Hopefully we can either trade for or find on waivers a competent RT.
So the team are neither world beaters nor the worst. This is a work in progress, and hopefully we see improvement next week especially as Game 3 is the dress rehearsal for regular season.
Thanks for some rationality around here Joelist. I always knew it would take time for the O-line and new coaches
to gel. Just happy we got a bad showing out of the way in Preseason. Game 3 you can usually tell a lot more about
your team as they play the starters usually the first half. Thinking we will most definately be looking to add atleast
one RT come cutdown day.
Or we could do the backup plan and move either Glenn or Boling over to RT, sure both of them would be major
upgrades there but even than it will take time for the new O-line to gain chemistry.
