    Adding 3 players to the O-line depth in 2-3 years is a joke. The depth was so bad at the start of last season they had to sign Gragg for God's sake. A 4th round pick in Jones, and a 7th in Cavka is really your idea of addressing depth? Look at Parcells, NE, Pitt, Philly, EVERY Year they sign at least one O-Lineman. Because they realize players get hurt on Lines all the time, and a talent depth pool is important. Always having young players in the background at different levels of development is essential to always putting a good line on the field. And they usually draft them in rounds 1-3.

    Herm/Bradway had Goodwin as the first and only backup at three positions. 3 POSITIONS!!! Then traded for Morley, and signed Snell, Missant, and Katnick. Is that really how you address the depth at the O-line? Trading for a player that couldn't even break into GB's horrid O-line? Signing UFDAs?

    The injury bug hit and the line was screwed because there was no one capable to come in. All because the past regime refused to address the depth needs. There is a reason that people who know football say "You can never have enough quality linemen."

    Last season.Seattle and Pittsburg have two of the best offensive lines in all of football.Look at the lines of the teams in the superbowl over the past 5 years.All are very good.
