Is everyone in here trolling one another? Pro Football Focus had us as the best OLine over last season.

In run blocking, we were pretty outstanding overall (a couple struggle games, but not bad at all), but it was 3 of the 5 guys who just graded out really high, the 2 tackles did not grade out nearly as high. We are very proficient between the tackles, the tackle position has been an issue for a few years now. Which I suppose all the running we've been doing has masked a lot of deficiencies we've had at tackle. K.J. Malone was never meant to start at left tackle, and now he's having to do it for 2 years in a row. Maea Teheuma as well was never supposed to be a tackle, but he's has to play there some as well. Weathersby couldnt stay healthy at tackle last year, and we're really really counting on him to be solid there this whole season there. Last year we just had some huge holes for depth at tackle, and even started a LT we didn't really want to start there, same goes for RT when Weathersby was out. Grimes has had very little luck with the tackle position since he's been here. He's had a bunch of guys either quit on him or transfer out.
