Is this O-Line going to be much better than last year?

O-line (according to OTAs)

Here was the O-line depth chart from OTAs:

LT: Moore
LG: Dotson … Green
C: Cole
RG: Daniels … Green
RT: Chuks

[WindyCitySteel]

Cole and Daniels will be upgrades, hopefully Dotson's healthy and Moore has a 2nd year jump.

Unless I mistaken this will be Dotson's third year. Better than last year, yes. We still need to find a better RT, a rock a center, and a new LG. Hopefully Moore pan's out.

Dotson was hurt last year.

Exactly. This OL will be better.. but I guess "Better" is a relative term...

Bingo.....

They were about 1.5 out of 10 last year. This year, maybe a 3.5 out of 10. Not even average but better.

The line will almost definitely be better next year because there was a perfect storm of factors that made last year's line one of the worst we have ever seen:

Rookie LT
Revolving door LG
Rookie project at C
August signee coming off of injury at RG
The lone holdover playing out of position at RT who got the job through injury a second year in a row

How much better depends on a bunch of things, but it should be better.

Agree. They added talent and young guys got more experience. None of these guys are without talent. In addition, the opposing defensive lines aren't going to be able to tee off going after a statue at QB. Just introducing designed roll outs will make a difference

TJ Watt Notices Bigger And Heavier Kendrick Green

[Bawb the Revelator]

Now sign FA Eric Fisher for a year at LT and spell Dan Moore for a year. Whoever's QB gets a serious break. I'm not paid to obsess over crap like this but 93.7 Josh Taylor called the Colts OL "poetry in motion." Josh seems at least half bright to me

What happened to Shades' claim that Green was a solid option at C moving forward?

[hawaiiansteel]

I think James Daniels is going to be a HUGE upgrade over Turnstile Turner:

[NJ-STEELER]

Yes it will be better because it can’t get much worse then last year
