We're coming up on a stretch where we play some varsity teams for a change and if we bring no running game we're likely to get exposed. If you're going to spend 33 on an interior lineman and he's healthy then he should be doing a lot more ass kicking on the field than ass scratching on the sidelines, especially if your team is having trouble running the ball.
Or you should find someone else to supervise your drafts.

At least part of that is due to Foster not being healthy, and the total lack of fear for our passing game. It's not like the OL got worse since the first 2 weeks.
But that is more an overall OL excuse from me. Issues with Su'a Filo are totally legit. The guy can't see the field because of Ben Jones? It may be a month into his career, but that has all the early makings of a blown pick.
And Nix has made Clowney look like Ironman so far.
At least uncovering Morris, Bouye, Blue can offset the mid rounds. But Clowney has to get healthy and be good enough to make it worth a wasted year with no QB. Or we accidentally get lucky with Mallet (1 in 50?) or Savage (1 in 100?) as a true franchise guy.
Altogether more than enough issues to keep me depressed even at 3-1 (and more than enough to keep Chuck happy about his half empty cup).
