We have that now with both Legs at LG and Pouncey at C. Remember all of the pulls, etc that Dawson used to do? Well, Pouncey and Legs are more than capable of doing the same thing. People don't realize this, but strength-wise, Legs is just about the strongest man on the entire team. (I say just about, because I'm not sure about Harrison- James might be the main beast in the weight room, but Legs is right there- based off of what Wolfley says) Both Legs and Pouncey are quick as hell too, or they wouldn't be where they are today...So, they are both athletic enough to get the job done.
Anyway, it's all in what the OC wants to do. That was BA's fault for not calling more screens, etc. Now he's history, so good riddens to him.
It's gonna depend on what direction this team goes in. If Rooney wants us to go back to a more traditional style of offense with running the ball- which to be honest- I 110% agree with, then we're gonna have to stay with what we got- more run blocking OLmen. Our problem has been that some of these OLmen are just avg. pass blockers. So, if BA would've stayed and pushed the passing game even more, sure, we'd be better off upgrading a few spots up front, but with Colon coming back, I think we're fine up front. Would be nice to add some competition at OG to push Foster though.
I still say if they got a freaking real FB in there, that would help out tremendously as well.. And throw in another TE who can block on the LOS.....
