I think our oline has been underrated the last few years.

I agree. Not perfect, but underrated. You always knew when a starter was missing from the lineup, however.

dont get me wrong, they've definitely come a long ways, i was referring to LT saying "like always", and it got me thinking back to Glennon's days and beyond when the QB would get the snap, then 0.000054 seconds later he would have a defender in is grill

+5.

I'm not sure how you win 10 or 11 games for several years in a row with bad offensive lines.

Yes, the offensive line had gone downhill prior to the arrival of Coach Newsome. And yes, he had to spend his first couple of years weeding out several non-performers. But, I think he's finally got the offensive line heading in the right direction.

If the line is decent this year then I'll agree with you. If not then I'll keep my current opinion that he's a weak link. The guys on the roster are all his and it's not like they are true freshmen. No excuses he should have capable replacements ready after the exodus of seniors
