It's the same issue as with McGovern & Biadasz.
- Any of the 3 can likely be 'good enough' if they have quality player on either side of them.
- The issue last season was having CM or CW next to Biadasz and often next to a LT that was not Tyron.
I agree with this. This offensive line for so long was driven by Martin, Frederick, and Smith, when those3 were there to weaknesses of the RT and LG could be masked. When Frederick retired and Smith started to lose even more game holes on the OL became really obvious. Beyond what others say I think CW was a very good OG he was not a world beater but he was at his best with Smith next to him and he could focus on his duties and help Biadasz with his assignments. Same goes with Zack he only had to worry about his guy and maybe a little help to RT. Now with slightly above avg OC and Slightly above average RT and combined slightly above average LT there is a lot need for help along the line and not enough smart talented players to provide it. So like last year Martin had to make sure that both guys to his right an left were good and CW at times had to do the same. CM only worried about his assignment and TB was usually on his own if the guy shaded to the LG side. Anyone not TS was at LT they were on their own with CM at LG.
