Since this staff made the decision to with JPL, and unknown quantity at QB, without allowing him to win the start in an open competition, seems as though TD and staff would've made suring up the OL a top priority through the draft and free agency.
Instead of adding talent to the OL that can compete for the starting LT position vacated by JJ, we've brought in other teams' backups and used the 1st 2 picks in the draft on Recievers one of which may be out for the season.
Not that this team can't always use a speedster at WR or a physical TE but we've used a top pick in each of the last 3 drafts on a WR when we have more pressing needs that this staff has failed to address as promised.
TD brought in a immobile 30+ yr old QB 3 yrs ago and since then has dismantled the left side of the OL without finding a solid starter at LG and now with JJ leaving we have no apparent starter at LT.
With a young unproven QB making his debut as starter it seems as though we have more question marks than players on our OLine.
LT Williams -- Conditioning issues
LG Valerial -- Solid, minor injuries
C Teague -- ? Starter at C, LT
LG Gandy -- Backup?Starter
LT ?? -- No Answer
Who is gonna watch JPL's backside and can we afford a year of "Player by commitee" like we had at LG last year? At this point it appears we have the most question marks on the OLine of any team in the Division.
For the last 3 years the OLine has been an area of concern, and once again there has been no apparent upgrade. JPL will struggle as much as the guys protecting him, instead of a line upgrade this unit has taken a huge step back with the loss of JJ at LT and a LG who wasn't even a starter for most of last season.
Is TD a soft Line GM or is the line not as much of a concern as it appeared last year with slow footed Bledsoe? If this line doesn't jell, JP will lose confidence, and we will once again struggle early.. 0-4 is a pretty deep hole for a 1st year starter.
