Message: [QUOTE="MikeSU02, post: 3139804, member: 60"] We haven't had an OL drafted since Pugh, I believe. Our OLs haven't been all-world. I'd wager that Eric covered up quite a number of deficiencies. There are trade offs between Eric (who isn't walking through that door) and TD. I think TD will be fine, do great things, set records and we'll all be happy, but it's going to take a little more time. Our OL is never going to be all-world. We need to stop pretending like it will be. Some years it will be solid, some will not and once in a while we'll have a killer unit, but it will be few and far between. TD has to make quicker decisions once the ball is snapped, but that means our whole offense has to be on the same page before the snap takes place (calls, reads, cadence, etc). But Tommy is going to have to make some magic happen. Maybe its not fair to him, but we do. [/QUOTE]
