I think that's fair, although maybe higher than I would have graded Cassel and the o-line. He played horribly for a while, played extremely well for a while, and then ended back at horrible. I have a hard time grading him above a C. And I still believe that the o-line was a serious liability in pass protection. I think we see a different kind of passing attack (at least attempted...) with a line that can give the QB a modicum of time consistently. And I'm still not sure how much of the success in the running game was o-line and how much was Charles. He made a lot of yards in 2009 with basically no blocking, and I'm not sure 2010 was really that much better. Right tackle and center still strike me as major issues.
