We've been [insert adjective of choice implying less-than-good-enough) for so long that we may only finally recognize "good enough" once we actually see it again one day.
We all know what a good OL looks like ... we see them on the weekends sometimes ... almost always when the Skins aren't playing.
Once in a while we get a teaser. We were watching when the Skins curb-stomped Jacksonville early in the year. It was a stark reminder of how different the game looks when the team you're rooting for controls the line of scrimmage. It's a very different game than what we've been watching our team play--on both sides of the ball--almost exclusively, for longer than I care to pin down.
OL, DL and QB. In any order of preference. When we're once again "good enough" in all three of those areas indispensable areas again, we'll be a legitimate contender.
Won't that be special?
