Today proved they still have a long way to go to be a good offensive line. I have been saying for over 5 years that the O line is the root of all of our offensive problems. It was not Aikman, Quincy, Emmitt, Bledsoe or Vinny (well maybe Vinny) but it was the offensive line that is the problem.
With the exception of Larry Allen who should have retired is 2000 this is a young offensive line and will get better. It takes several years for a lineman to be good but we are improving and are better than last year.
The O line will be even better next year but we still must improve even more if we are to be a serious competitor next year. Free agency or draft? Depends on whether you want the short term quick fix or a long term pro bowl player.
Right now our offensive line is giving Bledsoe much more time and better protection than Vinny got last year and unbelievably better protection than Quincy ever got.
The reason we even have a good shot at the playoffs at all is because the O line is so much better than last year. Curly
