O Line

[Iron Shiek]

well being here in florida and watching some bucs games mahan sucks at guard almost as bad as he did at center

Thats extremely unfortunate. Not that I was expecting pro bowl out of him, but at least hope he's a decent fill in.

Unfortunate but not surprising.

I would personally like to see this line.

Smith Colon Hartwig Simmons Starks

How will it turn out?

Smith Kemo Hartwig Simmons Colon

with a 7 million dollar back up in Starks.

I think you are 100% right about that! I wish for the same OL you do but I think it will turn out with Kemo playing so well that they have no reason to move Colon to LG. I still feel Starks will be the starting LT in 2009. They will sign him at a discount and Smith will hit the market looking for his last big payday. In my opinion, this OL is solid with the addition of Hartwig. I think the talent is as good as last year even without Faneca. (minus Faneca & minus Mahan) < (add Kemo & add Hartwig) The biggest addition this OL got was at RB & WR. The defense wants to put "8 in the box" when the Steelers show 3WR, 1TE, & a single Back...All I have to say is "All Day"!
