Waters is done. Niswanger sucks. The only thing that helped to stop the bleeding was Albert's re-emergence and Wade Smith.

I think (think) that Albert is improving, but I'm not sure. I like the fact that the coaches are working with him on his technique. I do believe that, if he masters the technique necessary to play NFL left tackle, he could be excellent.
However, the main reason Albert was able to perform well in the goat game was our rushing attack. It's downright amazing what a serious run threat can do to improve an offensive lineman's stats.
Still and all, the o-line continues to need help. We are far from being a dominant group that executes their blocking assignments with flawless, integrated precision and coordinated power. At this point, we're a whole lot more like 5 club-footed monkeys in a gunny sack race.
