I disagree....the line last year was pretty good, but would have probably been great with pouncey. For how good they were as a unit, Cody Wallace was not good.
Pouncey and Decastro are an extremely good tandem on the inside. Foster Foster is a wonderful pass blocker, Decastro is a wonderful run blocker, and pouncey is pretty well rounded...they compliment each other beautifully.
When Decastro was hurt Marcus Gilbert was not nearly as good as he is now, i believe the line was a patch work job with Legursky and a lethargic max starks and we didnt have Mike Munchak, who is the absolute truth when it comes to offensive line coaching.
Arians said it best that pouncey is not injury prone or soft at all, his injuries are because he is so good blocking at the next level that guys are falling all over him trying to get to the ball carrier. May be something they want to address, but no one blocks down field like decastro and pouncey. Both are worth extensions, its just a matter of we'd all like to see both of them play together for extended time which has been a struggle so far
