Joe Hawley and Kevin Pamphile aren't replacing Logan Mankins and Evan Smith

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers don't have the worst offensive line in the NFL, and that's a massive improvement over last season. And the Bucs actually seem to have found some form of depth with Kevin Pamphile and Joe Hawley filling in admirably the last couple of games. That's led to some reactions suggesting that those two are ready to take over and replace both Logan Mankins and Evan Smith. That's a bit of an overreaction.

Hawley has been okay at center, but he hasn't exactly outperformed Evan Smith who was, himself, okay before his injury.
