I don't think the question is about the skill players. it's whether our best o-linemen are good enough to get the team into the playoffs. Even though our schedule looks like it will be tough, I would say 'yes', but the playoff exit might be immediate and ugly. Kinda depends how well the noobies do and if they're all healthy in Dec/Jan.

Of course, the elephant in the room is, how many of you think this OL makes it through the season without injuries?

I am looking to see how many of them can make it through the rest of pre-season without stubbing another toe...the season? that looks like years away to me right now...I wish they wouldn't even play pre-season games


anyway, to answer the question of the OP, yes, I believe this unit is good enough to get us into the playoffs if they play the entire season AS a unit. I believe that they are already better having Fred in there and if Leary comes back strong, then the left side will be very good...I think if Free comes back like the Free of 2010, then this line overall will be strong....those "ifs" will paint the picture

one thing to think about the success of the team (ie: making the playoffs) is that the defense will have more to say about it than the offense IMO...I can see more 3&outs, meaning the offense will have more opportunities....
