re: Offensive Line Age

I would agree that could have a part in the problem, but here is another piece to think about.

Last year we had one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. They're young, they're strong, and they're talented. What's happened this year? They seem ineffective at best, a liability at worst. I have seen our lines on BOTH sides of the ball getting pushed off of the line of scrimmage. You simply cannot win games by not winning the LOS on either side of the ball.

Brings to question our physical training, conditioning, and off-season decisions to make training easier on the players. Too busy golfing instead of lifting? Who knows.

I agree 100% on this as well. The youth argument goes both ways. I have no idea what's wrong with the D-line, but I look at it like this. You have a $100 million quarterback to protect....invest in the offensive line to protect him.

As far as the training goes, again 100% agreement. I thought the vacation in West Virginia was stupid, and I think our strength and conditioning may need to be tweaked substantially.
