1. The line was struggling before yesterday. It is been pointed out by posters on the board and independent rating services. Also, it is clear beyong the eyeball test as their offensive stats are poor as is their record.
2. I don't know where you are getting I am saying high picks or pricy vets.....just saying lineman with some experience. Allen, NB, Dembey, Evans and Edwards - the bulk of their line had almost none. Could be a 2nd year lineman who started the year before or a 3rd or 4th year lineman who played in multiple games/training camps.
3. You keep saying look around the league. I am not comparing the Rams, who were a Superbowl team last season, to the Lions, Jets,
Cardinals, Jags, Falcons, etc. And not comparing to the Pats which are an extreme success story in football as well as all sports.
