Let’s cut the charade. The past several offseasons have been filled with optimism about the offensive line finally turning the corner. The reasons make sense - the unit is packed with four and five stars. There’s experience across the board. There’s much more depth than years prior. Yet, the offensive line continues to hold the offense back.
This year that optimism is hard to find. There have been too many years of falsely getting hopes up, just to see the same flaws upfront as the previous year. The unit will need to replace three starters from a group that was already struggling mightily.
