Well, no.  Starting experience is a guarantee of nothing if that experience reveals that those players have played poorly.  Which they have.

Being around a long time, in and of itself, is a guarantee of nothing.  Weight, in and of itself, is a guarantee of nothing.  If it were, the staff would dispense with practice and force-feed OLs like so many foie gras ducks.

Yes, Bergeron and Bleich are proven commodities.  Froumy has never played a down in his life.  Perhaps Servais has been injured the past two years, but those years don't offer much optimism.  Red?  Petry?  Red hasn't seen the field and Petry I think was on special teams.  Vettorello?  Most are hoping we get an experienced transfer center to replace him.

I really hope that we can field an OL made up of NFL draft picks, or at least one that is just serviceable.  However, you haven't offered any objective evidence that this will happen because there isn't any.  We can only hope that Dino rethinks strength & conditioning, rethinks the way they practice (so they aren't all injured before the season starts), and gets Cavanaugh to do his job.
