Very few times have they held protection for any significant time from what I've seen. A 100 million $ QB shouldn't be surrounded by, for the most part, Olinemen, who couldn't start for any other NFL team. Grow a pair?, these are the folks who need to

Wilh the Oline he is stuck with, this is one luxury he doesn't have.

Boudreau was a TD hire, and did an admirable job with the talent afforded him. Why he was dismissed/not retained baffles me to this day, Exit P. Boudreau, enter P. Hill and you have the embarrassing offensive line we are currently saddled with.

But he has, Baker. TD might have be forced to reach for LT to protect his franchise QB, and I think the majority know how that gamble paid off. Sam had a pretty decent rookie year, was in and out of the lineup with various injuries until last year. Has a superb 2012 season, gets paid and guess what? Baker is battling the injury bug once again. You seeing a pattern here? As far as a coaching problem, on our 2nd OLINE coach in as many seasons, nope IMO, coaches aren't the problem. Is it possible, just possible, that we don't have any quality Olinemen?

The 2007 team that TD inheirited, not their career accomplishments.

Oh I'll answer you, what he has allowed the state of affairs without adequately addressing our needs on both OL/DL is dam criminal and has consistently been my opinion. Plain enough? But to make an misleading statement that he inhierited a playoff caliber team is a ridiculous assumption on ur part

Only thing I'm stuck on is your logical reasoning as to how u conclude that TD inherited a "Playoff caliber team"

Far cry from the winning pct over the last 5 yrs, and again I'm 1 of TD's bigger cititcs, but man u done lost leave of ur common senses.

Man you can't say with a straight face that you believe for a second that this cesspool of a franchise that Dimitroff inherited was playoff caliber, and I don't particularily like the job he has done. Dam.

You lost me. He inheirited a "Playoff caliber team". LACKING A COACH, QB AND RB.

Thank you, I needed that comic diversion

link?

1.Baker got paid.2. Key injuries to skilled players, I.E., Roddy, Julio, Sjax. 3. FO, not seeing what Ray Charles could have foreseen with regards to the state of our OL/DL. 4. Did I mention Baker got paid?

See my friend, regardless of our most recent success(s), past 5 yrs, I need more and won't just "Settle", just refuse to. Bar has already been raised by this regime. and besides, They have had, 5 yrs to fix this mess, but have failed miserably

NFL's biggest disappointment, really Thanks for stating the obvious ESPN, who would have thunk it

Someone explain to me how many OL coaches/strength cond. coords. we have to go thru to finally get to the root of the problem? TD/and whomever advises him wouldn't know a quality OLineman if one bit em in the arse.

What's ur ******* problem? No bigger critic of Dimi on this fckng board than myself at the way he has mishandled drafting quality linemen, but I guess what separates us, I care more about this team to bump up chit just to say "I TOLD YA SO". You sir in are dire need of help.

It's called urself being thought of "know it all, and rubbing it type of azz", after the fact, and it's truly disgusting.

Sure way to season ending IR if this is the way we continue to protect our most valued asset.

Maybe a little levity might coax some of the posters away from the edge

Man stop, just stop. Julio in first 2 full seasons played in a total of 29 of 32 games, and at a high level. Would I have pulled the trigger on the trade up in acquiring such an elite talent, while neglecting our basic needs in the trenches, no, but to he is injury prone is just wrong.

No, I'd settle for a half way competent one.

My only concern as well, and in the end, it's gonna be all on TD, in allowing the protection of ur most valuable asset to be hung out dry and it's a crying ******* shame.
