but did you notice that neither your quoted message nor yours specifically mentioned offensive linemen. People talk "offense" but for some reason I have never understand, they leave out 44% of the offensive players on the field...the OL. Having all the skill players in the world doesn't matter if you can't block for them. Nebraska used to win NC with not that great skill players in general but great OL and tough defenses. Not sure that would work these days, but games are still won for the most part by the trenches.

Agreed Tomm. It's difficult to measure the potential of the OL until you see it in action in a game, which is why I think most people overlook it. It's also difficult sometimes to separate the struggles of the skill positions from the struggles of the OL. This is why it's such a crapshoot to try to say how good we are going to be on offense until we actually see them play. You never know if the chemistry or the line play is there.
