Very true, I don't know what that was. At least we have a dude now that knows what the hell he is doing. We can't help but improve right.

Having a healthy P-Rich and development of the Thomas boys should keep the opposing safetys out of the box more often next season. That alone will help the O-line and the running game. Having a coherent offensive scheme should do wonders as well. We don't have much depth so I hope everybody stays healthy.
We don't know for sure because practices were closed and JE went into us against the world paranoid mode and didn't divulge information. I had heard from multiple sources that in JEs practices the starters got virtually all the reps. When you do this you end up with tired, injured linemen and back-ups who aren't ready when called on. JE tried to run a college program like an NFL program and we saw the results or lack of.
Hopefully with a staff that knows how to coach at the college level we will end up with an OL that is better prepared when Saturday comes around and is developing depth for the future.
It is very telling that we have had Miller drafted highly, Bak who will be drafted highly, and Handler who was selected by a couple of sources as a potential all-league center before last season and for the last two years we couldn't block well enough to pick up a 3rd and 1 or protect on a three step drop.

I don't think before I post
That point you make about 3rd and 1's is so true. I can't believe how often we couldn't pick up 1 or 2 yards when we needed it. It was really obvious when we played CSU in the first game of the season and they just handled us upfront. Yet somehow we have a LT who will go 3rd or 4th rd of the NFL. I just can't comprehend how we couldn't pick up short yards in known short yardage situations.
I read a quote from Munyer today that he'll play where needed but is most comfortable at the guard position (cubuffs.com article with MacIntyre)
