Well... Ruiz did finally come around. But we need help all along the OL. Peat needs to go. We need young blood to take over. Hopefully the younger players we do have are all ready to step up.

Let's not forget that all five projected starting offensive linemen missed time due to injuries during the season. Several of their replacements were also injured and missed time. We had twelve different offensive linemen take regular season snaps.

I guess looking at it in a positive light (a habit of mine) we did, at least, give seven of our backups varying degrees of experience under fire.

I think it's more about what AG brought up about all the injuries to the starting O-linemen.

If they have a healthy line of Penning, Peat, McCoy, Ruiz and Ram - I think they can be a dominate line in pass pro and run blocking against most of the defensive fronts around the league. Even more so if they can get a replacement level rookie from the draft to take over for Peat.

I think I remember Ruiz bringing up in some interview how beneficial Strief's coaching had been for his development.

Well, former Saints, HC Sean Payton values him as a coach.

Will Strief be as good of an OL Coach for the Broncos as he was calling the games on WWL, I wonder?

All righty then. I'll take anything Sean Payton says as fact unless he's talking to the media. LOL

Seriously though, I know we were a Mash unit last year but I'm just trying to work through my head how we could be so bad.

We were last in the league in passing yardage. That's why. Dalton couldn't stretch the field or hit the open man and drops didn't help either.

That said, we only gave up 15 more points (345-330) on the entire season than we scored. That less than one point per game difference.
