Ok gentlemen, I have been reading your posts for 6 years and now I have actually joined so I can reply to this. I realize this is probably old hash but I have to say it.

-Was it Mark Rypien or the O-line that got us the Superbowl in 91.

When you get handed a football and someone is already standing in your back yard it makes it hard to see a running lane much less go through any of your reads. The front line is our problem and Joe knows that, that is why we are not seeing any TD's to our recievers. He is keeping it short and sweet and to the point. You cannot give a young QB 2 seconds to get rid of the ball he needs a Mark Rypien Average of 4-5 seconds to get rid of it. With that being said, Tom Brady could have stood in our back field and not had any production either.

Thank you for all of the entertainment and intelligent insight over the years.
