They also had great quarterbacks and great defenses.

Moot question. I'm the one who is arguing for building the O-line first.

For the love of god do not compare 1972 to now, the league is completely different.

Defensive stars don't count in Frankies mind.

I've just recently been seeing him drop because of questions about character being re-ignited because he was banned from Nebraskas pro-day for another character issue. Your probably right some team wont care...

You aren't gonna have any stars [at least on O] without QB protection.

And if there are teams that are good without high O-line picks, those same teams FOUND quality O-linemen somewhere. While there might be teams without high pick O-lineman, there aren't any with shitty O-lines.

Heck the difference between DV's offense and our present offense boils down more than ANYTHING to Roaf, with the degeneration of the rest of line a close second.

This D is a Sedric Ellis away from kicking ass.

You would also be blown away with what they could do if we could implement an offensive gameplan so they weren't on the field for 45 min.

Yes, potentially at the expense of getting something better.

Can't argue with that.

The D that needs an entire new list of CB's needs atleast 2 new LB's and may need atleast 1 more safety?

This team has one good linebacker and one good defensive lineman, and a bunch of question marks everywhere else. Wake up.

Whats funny is that Herm blamed the high powered offense for putting the D on the field too much. :shake:

You would hope that Herm could spot these role players somewhere in two or three drafts.:hmmm: HOPE being the key word. If we can't then we were never destined to win shit anyway.

We have a lot of unspectaculars, but I believe with a few better players around them, they will be, if nothing else, solid starters.

I count 3 very good D linemen and 2 good LB's. We have 1 good O-lineman.
