Gates (C)
Cosmi (RG)
Wylie (RT)

Having Norwood and Trai Turner out of the picture is addition by subtraction, if Gates can stay healthy that will be a big plus over last year, and I can't believe how underrated the Wylie signing is being seen by fans.

Add to that an OC that will hopefully learn to adapt to situations and run the ball more.

Am I 100% confident on this o-line situation? No. But fans keep talking about as if we are rolling out the same line from last year.

There are question marks for sure, but I'd be surprised if there is no improvement.

Fully agree with this, I see this being the line to start unless they pick up somebody else, and probably the #1 most important thing that will help the line is the scheme change from Turner to Bienemey. I think the ball is coming out faster with EB.

Problem is that is 5 question marks. Not one guy there that you think “ok well we are set there”. Could they gel and improve because of reasons you mentioned? Yup. Could it be an absolute train wreck? Yup.

Cosmi and Wylie on the right side is solid. If Leno can play like he did in any year besides last season, he is solid too. He is only 31, so I think he can play better.

LG and C, yeah, not super confident about those at all.

We will be better than last season.

Leno
Traffic cone
Gates/Stromboli
Traffic cone
Wylie

This is an improvement over last season.
