The O-line will be fine once they settle into this offense. Jansen's injury hurts, but injuries happen, especially on the O-line. The Skins did the best they could to find adequate replacements in Brown and Jones, but they've both been dealing with their own injuries as well. Samuels had a couple of bad years in Spurrier's system, but he's turning it around this year. He's not a bust. Dockery is steadily improving under Bugel, and he will be a devastating blocker in this offense. Raymer is showing he still has some gas left in the tank, and does a good job getting to the second level.
I really don't see what all the panic is about here. We're only four games into the season. This line will improve. Keep in mind Bugel is grooming a couple of youngsters in Marc Wilson and Jim Molinaro to improve the depth. Both of those guys will be solid starters in the next year or two.
