What my gut (and all the articles) tell me about the O line

[Doomsday]

One little comment from Parcells last week that I didn't see mentioned a lot was that he wanted to run more "scheme things" on the O line. That means zone blocking.

And that's one reason I think the line and Kosier will be better -- because we finally have a group of agile, quicker O-linemen who actually should be able to work together. A line with mismatches like the smaller, quicker Rivera and and the plodding Allen never made much sense... It kind of gave us the worst of both worlds. That shouldn't be the case as much this year.

I agree and would add that they really struggled to get to the edges in the running game last year. The whole offense really ran out of room on the field so to speak in my opinion. Everything was between the tackles in the running game, Bledsoe is in one spot and Keyshawn couldnt stretch the field. This year Rivera should be more mobile with his back problems behind him, Kosier is alot more mobile than Allen and obvioulsy Owens and Glenn will stretch the field vertically.
