Can we talk offensive line?

Might not be the best timing, but this is something people haven't talked about nearly enough this year. It's the main reason we haven't seen the consistency on offense we had hoped to see.

There's only been one period of highly productive offense in recent years, and it was the 2nd half of Reid's first season, when the line had gelled into a solid and consistent unit. The points started piling up, Smith had some of his best statistical games, and the running game was rolling. Then Dorsey allowed three of those linemen to walk in the offseason and we've had mediocre line play since.

B*tch about Smith all you want, but if we could get ANY push whatsoever up the middle, this would be a far more productive offense. It's absurd how often the RBs get stuffed at the line and fail to convert 3rd and short or 4th and short.
