Uhm. Ok. I'll run with it. Lets replace the whole line with younger, "healtier" linemen who are quicker and faster and maybe bigger to take on the bigger D-line. We'll just have to deal with them screwing up once and a while due to lack of playing time in the NFL and the speed of the game. Not to mention learning a new offense. but ....atleast we couldn't complain about not having younger guys on the field.

He, like every other guy up front, isn't having his best year. And like every other guy up front, it looks like his best years are behind him.

Rabach is the true weak link to me.

Problem is, thanks to signing that sack-machine, Jason Taylor, we don't have nearly enough draft picks to even start re-assembling the O-line. And that's exactly what needs to happen -- apart from Chris Samuels, (and finding his replacement can't be put off too much longer) BOTH offensive and defensive lines need to be completely rebuilt.

Well that's what rebuilding will do for you....although I think we can come up with something in between I believe...a healthy Samuels, a more experienced Heyer and Rineheart, a good young free agent, maybe Pete Kendall (?), and a couple of good draft picks as back ups would be a nice option in rebuilding the line.
