IMO we have the tools in place to have a solid O-line this year and them in place to do better last year. Most teams go through injuries to the line as it is a very physical part of the team. Last year we had players coming off the street and starting at center things got so bad. Elton Brown was in his first year, Step and Lechey (second year) both hurt, Ross in his first year with us played hurt the first half or more of the season. Davis very rarely played with the same guy twice at the LG spot and on top of all that are coach was not very good all though looking at all those other problems I'm not sure any coach would have done much better.
I know we have hashed this question out in over one million threads. Davis with good coaching should go to the pro bowl, last year he was second team.Wells IMO is going to be a very good player and just might end up at center . That would give us two solid back ups in Step and Lechey.The Browns will start on opposite sides of the line and Ross who will get better this year without the injury and the changing doors next to him.
Don't forget we were the number one passing team last year and 8th overall in offense.It's true that we threw almost every down, but that would make it harder not easier for the offense to do as well seeing the opposing defense knows you can't run. The running game had O-line p[roblems but also had Shipp coming off a horrid injury and the newbee not finding his NFL legs till late in the season also hurt the running game, well guess what we now have EDGE in our line up and that's big IMO. Even with the same line. But as you all can see there will be at least two or three major changes there. Center and Guard for sure. I believe if we can get one more in the draft as Graves has said we will it will give us depth and talent enough to make us a playoff caliber team.
