I disagree that we need big O-Lineman. What we need for one is guys who can protect which usually falls under the finese type. The fact of the matter is if a guy has good enough footwork he can be very effective as a run blocker even if he's a waller instead of a mauler. In fact it's even more important in our system where with Zorn at the helm we're encorporating more outside runs so guys that can run as well as get to the second level are at a premnium.

Part of the reason I love Eben Britton is his ability to recognize and pick up blitzes. That asset will be invaluable to us. Plus his style fits an outside running scheme and if we can get teams to fear the pass again then the running game will get to the point where we can average 4.5 to 5.0 ypc.

Sure it would be nice to get an Andre Smith but part of me would rather of Britton over Oher and Smith. His athletism, size (well height), and youth would give this line a huge boost as well as a nice insurance policy for Samuals. However I'll surely be fine with any of the top 5 tackles should we end up taking one (fingers crossed).
