Well, as Ax noted, I don't think anyone here has said over the past two offseasons that our offensive line was set. That we were pleased with staying pat on the line. I don't think ANYONE has suggested we don't need at least a RT.
The best anyone here (except maybe McD5) has said is that we can 'get by' with what we've got for now, because Griffin can cover for a lot of our OL's inadequacies in pass protection and we can run block.
I'm not sure how this past game, in which we scored 27 points, never turned the ball over, ran for almost 200 yards and passed for 280 yards and three TDs, proves that the OL is the problem here ... when the defense proved incapable of ONCE stopping a 1-7 team featuring Christian Ponder and Matt Cassell under center in the second half, and that 1-7 team with the 27th ranked offense puts up 34 points.
Does Griffin get hit too much? Yes. Has anyone argued otherwise? No. Do we all think the line needs to pass protect better? Yes.
So again, not sure who Ryman is trying to put in their place. And I don't know why he's shocked at the blowback in this thread.
