That's fine, I never expect credit for any of my posts.
No one can or did predict our injury riddled season, but several posters have had the foresight to anticipate what may come of an OL which has not been invested in to the degree we've been trying to reason over for several seasons, like establishing a stronger run game from the trench, or better options for protecting our franchise QB. OL investment has been secondary since Whitworth was signed, and what a value that turned out to be.
I believe too much has been made over the departure of Corbett, many fans here weren't happy with his production at the time, I also believed that C John Sullivan was DONE when he left, I'm not shedding any tears over those guys, but losing Roger Saffold was a big blow to our team, that and failing to properly invest during subsequent years, whether it be free agents or the draft. Explaining Jamil Demby & Bobby Evans as depth would be a struggle for anyone, and basically replacing Saffold with Edwards, a real head scratcher. Some don't necessarily see the OL as important as the skill positions, but others of us prefer to build from the trenches out. jmo.
