Admittedly, I was all in on last year's offense before the season started. The experience returning on the O-line was what had my really buy into it more than anything. . .well. . .we all know how that played out. Looking back, we saw that they really weren't that good on the undefeated team the year before, but no reason to beat that horse anymore.
Fast forward this year. We have a new O-line coach, a proven guy with a history of producing solid line play. We have an offensive coordinator who has been able to produce an offense that could run the ball at every place he has been. We look to have some experience, size, and improved talent at the position (at least with the starting 5). We have a QB with elite mobility.
I won't go all in on the kool aid again, I've learned my lesson from last season, and I think we are all a little jaded and apprehensive.
BUT!!!! Could this FINALLY be the year where we have an offensive line that can play? Of course it would be great to have a dominant line, but really, aren't we all just asking for competence? Maybe in the years to come Hand can build a O-line that we can build an entire team around, but for now, I'd just like to see them win more battles than they lose, open a hole every now and then, and basically don't just be a complete liability.
Is this the year where our line play finally turns around???
