I feel pretty good about the OL coming into this season.

We hear the same crap every year and every year the Oline still sucks. I will believe it when I see it.

Frankly, the O-Line has underperformed since Jeff Grimes left.
I'd love to see that change this year. Or even next.
I do think this will be a good year, though. Tejan going beast mode is fun to watch, and he has some reliable wingmen with experience this time around. I'm most concerned about Shoaf at LT. Not because he's not a good lineman--he is. But he played RT last year and when he got beat, Taysom could see the rush coming and had the quicks to avoid it.
Tanner won't see that blind side rush coming and doesn't have the same level of elusiveness. And Shoaf is still young.

Frankly the O-Line has under performed since O-line coach under Lavell left the year Lavell left.
