Address the offensive line issues in recruiting and short-term through the portal the best you can
The problem is that we have appeared to swing and miss in these departments the last few years. Shanahan is not an SEC center. Admittedly I don't watch him every play, but when I do he is getting driven into the backfield.
The big name recruits, ie Thomas, Bradford, Turner, Martinez have not been able to get on the field. There's still time for them to improve, but I guess we have no choice but to wait and see.

I read you loud and clear... and agree.
But a few of those guys that haven’t seen the field yet could certainly improve. Cregg catches hell over recruiting, but he has actually been solid with managing personnel and moving guys around due to injury etc.
Some of the more recent O-line struggles has to go on the young QBs as well.
If Cregg can’t get it done, they’ll move on in time. But — at least we can point to something and say “fix this” as opposed to the fully dysfunctional dumpster fire we appeared to be at times this year.

Hines and Rosenthal have been the weakest upfront. They whiff on too many blocks/protections. Shanahan, Ingram, and Deculus have been more consistent than the other 2. Cam Wire, in my opinion, has been very solid off of the bench and filling in for Rosenthal. I would start him at LT.

He certainly has a lot of room for improvement, but he is a guy that could improve with an entire offseason in the weight room.
He's a senior, but I hope he uses his Covid year of eligibility to return and get better.
