I'm worried that Davis can't seem to make it through a season without getting dinged up and missing time.

And as mentioned -- I'm more worried about Ellis's weight / conditioning than I am about him making a jump in performance, now that he's acclimated to the collegiate game, has game / starting experience, and has had an additional offseason to learn his assignments.  Ellis has the physical tools [like Bergeron] to be an all-league caliber performer -- he was just inexperienced last year.

I don't view CV as having the same potential, and I'm not sure that he's anything more than stop gap.  I don't think that is true of the other 4 guys listed as running with the first unit.

I just don't see him performing at a high level as the fait accompli some of you apparently do.  I love Schmidt, I think he's going to get things turned around and have the OL go from a question mark with questionable depth to a team strength, and it might happen as early as this year.  But the PTSD of recent line play, dropoff when injuries occur, lack of quality depth, etc. have me squarely in "show me" mode.
