From 2000-2005 a lineman was drafted in either the first or second round (with the exception of 2001). In the last 2 drafts no linemen have been drafted in the top two rounds.

The only problem I have with Euph's stance is that nothing can be done about it now 5 games into the season. It's an off season issue. Let's get a letter writing campaign going in February and March.

Right now the only thing to figure out is how to best utilize the players that we currently have on the roster for maximum performance. How can a line with only one potential pro bowler be effective?

I just get tired of all the griping about something we can't do anything about. We have drafted linemen, maybe not where some think they should be drafted, but I go on the thought that most, if not all these coachs and GM's know more about these players than I do. I agree that our lines need to play better. i don't think you'd find many on this board that don't agree with that, but Jesus, does it have to be in every thread?

I'll be better next week, I'm taking a few days off and going to Vegas. Maybe I won't even look at this board. It would help to hear some positive comments from time to time though.
