No shit.
Our coaches were, in my opinion, a bit arrogant this offseason. I get wanting to give Peters a look at what we have first. But Cappa was shown the door fast. And NE's OL was crap last year. He should know he cannot turn water into wine. And Volson & Ford are crappy.
A 3rd rounder, a fifth rounder, and a bargin bin FA/low end starter/backup was always gonna be underwhelming. And the backups are all totally unproven PS level dudes except for Ford, who is versatile but VERY mediocre everywhere he plays.
Now, fortunately, Fairchild looks pretty good so far. Credit is due there. But RG is shaky. And OT looks beyond Rivers atm. The depth at OL is crap. Though Volson is not horrid as a backup, though he has been LG only so far. And he has been horrid in pass pro as a starter.
OG and C (with Patrick in the mix) are bettercthan last year. OT is worse if you count a healthy Brown as OT3 (or another proven vet).
