Staley
Crabs
Gore

Damn I didn't even think of this.
Wow no wonder we suck. Lol
For arguments sake we can word it like this...
Franchise LT
Franchise QB
Franchise WR
Franchise RB
This core should be the most dependent but cant play a full season at 100% together...this is why we have issues. The Domino effect is obvious, O line is not in sync and the QB gets hurt, QB goes down and the RB gets a bigger load, bigger load and the RB goes down.
This just means we are really far from being in contention. We have replace each one these positions to be good again.
A full rebuild is what's needed.
maybe...
If Staley is out more then 3 games this year then the official injury bug tag can be placed on him. But what do we really have at OT, Staley, Davis, and Boone...do we need to shuffle them around? What do we have at C and ROG, Chilo and Kilgore, not very reassuring as of now. OTC did mention this in another thread but maybe we need to move some guys around to be more effective. Maybe Kilgore at C and Davis at RG but what do we do about LT and RT? I don't trust Davis protecting any QB's blind side and nobody knows what Boone can really do as a full time starter. The line is a bit of a clusterf**k and honestly don't really want to put a new rookie QB behind them to get injured or shell shocked.
If Edwards plays like his former probowl self then Crabs could be an afterthought. Hunter and Dixon may be able to take the place of Gore if he gets another injury, but that's a big ?.
We need to draft a good amount of depth at the OL this year, and need at least 1 rookie starter from the bunch. We could hypothetically lose Chilo, Wragge, and Snyder at the end of this season, we will need new blood very soon.
