I disagree. Aside from Alaric Jackson & Shelton, no one of our O-line can dominate the LOS. And Jackson & Shelton are questionable too. Why would we want to continue with subpar athletes in such a critical area? Nothing short of a talent/strength transfusion is going to rectify the situation, IMO. Now, there's many ways to skin the cat there, but to fix the problem, you have to acknowledge the problem. The problem isn't that they were injured. The problem is that they all get their @sses kicked at the LOS way too often.
We can't replace everyone. Some of those guys are going to have to be retained. Who you letting go and who you keeping?
Okay, let's start with the low hanging fruit. You keep Jackson, and Shelton, and probably Bruss- for no other reason than the verdict is still possibly out on him. Make a run at Saffold ,(Even though he's declining),& cut Edwards. Cut Allen. Draft Schmidt.
(My concern is that our scouts either can't discern dominant olineman, or McVay overrides them. Both situations need to end now.
Find a trade partner for Havs, even for a low round pick. Booms insane contract makes him difficult to move, so we may have to keep him as a (soft & grossly overpaid) backup. Package lower picks & move up to get the best physical tackle available.
From left to right;
A.Jackson - Saffold - Schmidt - Shelton - TBA
It's a start
