Realistically, Evans and Grubbs were good, but I'm tired of this year's line woes -- we should be expecting SO MUCH from our line, give our history of having great lines. We are used to being excellent in that area, and we deserve to be completely spoiled about THAT -- protecting Drew and having All Pro lines is what this team is all about. We CANNOT keep going, living in the past, with a deteriorating team that's getting slower and fatter and more and more expensive, growing longer and longer in the tooth. The NFL will pass us by so quickly if we don't stay on top of things.

I don't exactly dislike Strief, but we have such a great history of young guys coming in out of nowhere and playing their you-know-whats off for this team on the offensive line....maybe one more year to groom someone underneath him. It's time for change. The line was terrible this year, and our line players and staff are supposed to be known as some of the best in the biz.
I know that Strief graded out well in most of our games. What we need is another center. dlp has maxed out I'm afraid.

DLP has actually graded out well, but we need someone who grades out excellent at center. Drew's best occurs when he can step up into the pocket and make a pass. DLP may not get beat, but he doesn't dominate his man enough to give Drew the 3 or 4 extra feet needed to step up into the pocket.

Drew thrives on dominant inside pocket protection.
