They nabbed Weigmann in free agency? They let him go two seasons ago because they thought he was too old. Denver let him go this last season because they thought he was too old.
Casey plays balls out. However, picking up a 38 year old center after he's been released twice because he's too old for football isn't exactly making sure you're covered at that position. That's a stop gap at best. I'm glad he's back, and never wanted him to be released in the first place, but it's a stop gap.

Asamoah was a four year starter at right guard. Why the **** would you move HIM to accommodate a veteran?
Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Really? A four year college guy at the position. I wonder...how long did Branden Albert play LG in college? God forbid that someone would move someone out of position...
And, by the way, how long has Ryan Lilja played RG?

Just stop it, Dude. They'll be fine.

They won't be fine. They are in trouble at the O-line positions, which are now being held by guys who are really old in terms of NFL years and have tackles who aren't very good. That's not fine.

My "analysis" is completely different than yours. The 2010 line is FINE. They need to move Lilja to LG and Asamoah to RG in 2011 and either draft or acquire a younger center.
DONE.

Super. I'm glad that's worked out. I guess that I should start worrying about the receiving corps instead.

JFC, You DO NOT build an offensive line and THEN add a "Franchise QB".
Anyone of those guys I mentioned (Manning, Manning, Schaub, Rodgers, Brees, Rivers, Ryan, Romo, Brady etc.) would start behind this line with NO issues.

If Manning wanted Lilja, he'd still be in Indy. That's a fact. And right now, he's our best offensive lineman.

Bullshit. He was sacked 47 times in New England behind the same line in which Tom Brady was sacked only 21 times.

I never said that Cassel was the end all be all of QB's. The guy isn't good. He holds onto the ball too long. He's got bad pocket presence. But playing behind a dogshit line isn't helping matters.
If you can clone Manning, then great. But I don't see a guy like Manning being available in the free agent market all that often.
