He won't want to stick to quick-firing spread unless he has to. So I'm more concerned with the run-blocking of our line that I am the pass blocking.
However, the entire OP is predicated on one of Sowell, Gilliam, or Webb matching Okung's ability at left tackle, and frankly, Okung wasn't horrible. He was a slightly above average left tackle. We've survived letting underrated linemen go (Carp, Breno, Unger) and then finding out what we lost by watching them succeed on other teams. I'm not sure left tackle, of all positions, is the one I want to tempt fate with now.
I'm thinking the depth we've obtained at OL is to give the front office freedom to adapt to the board, and not necessarily to get them out of drafting OL high.
BTW, I propose a "Mrs. Sowell" account nickname for firebee.
Hahaha... I'll take Mrs. Sowell, but I get half if we get a divorce.
