In the league 20 years!
Like i tried to warn this board last week, Alex Steponavich is not, nor ever will be the savior for this oline. I read so many comments at how drastically improved this oline will be once Step gets back.
You were placing your entire oline hope on a guy who has been average at best the past two years and at times downright awful. Do I think he can be a decent center? Yes, but as of right now he is not. He missed block after block yesterday and held on the ones he didint miss.
I like Green a great deal and have never said a bad word about him. I agreed with his move of Anquan to the outside, I agreed with him cutting Kendal b/c he didnt buy into Greens philosophy. I turned a blind eye when Solomon and Hargrave were hired, when Wiley was fired, and when Lindsey was promoted from, what, 3rd string to the oline coach? I didnt balk at Clement or Shelton being cut or that we couldnt get Travis Henry pried away from a Buffalo team that didnt want him.
But honestly believeing that this team can be playoff caliber when you are starting a offensive guard who, up until the last week or so of camp, was being called by beat writers as "struggling", an average second year center, and a 6th round pick guard in Wells who has shown ability matching, well his 6th round pick status,
This oline is a disaster and has been created , in some part, due to Greens inability to see value in guys drafted OTHER than the ones he hand picked himself. IN hindsight I can still live with the Kendall cut as I know it was done for a lockerroom reason, but the cutting of Shelton is still beyond me. Especially with the little depth this team has right now.
This oline is a disaster and the whole mess has to be layed at the feet of Dennis Green.....
