We haven't had an o line this solid since the Drew Brees era.

Imagine what a clean pocket will do for our new QB

I'm VERY intrigued at the prospect of our QB not running for his life on 3rd and long. So, happy Fuaga gets to play his natural spot at RT.

I'm reminded of The Old Proverb: "May you live in interesting times."
