I just finished rewatching the game on TiVo. I pretty much just watched the offensive plays to focus on the offensive line. I'm most definately no offensive line guru, but it looked to me like Smith at RG was by far our best O-lineman last week. Albert and O'Callaghan were just average at best in pass blocking, but decent in the run blocking game. Waters was overpowered quite a bit in pass blocking. Same for Rudy. When all five of them gave Cassel time, Cassel was pretty darn good. But on most of the pass plays at least one of the 4 not named Smith was overpowered back into Cassel.

Three upgrades on the O-line at least seem to be in order. C, LG, and one of the tackle spots.
