I believe our OL is the group that needs the biggest upgrade. A lot of the blame for our losses in big games in recent years lies on them. I thought we have been in good shape the last few years, but now is the time to improve. Light's long term future is in question, along with Mankins' short term. RG has increasingly become our biggest single problem position on the offense and there IS such a thing as an upgrade over Koppen.
Under certain circumstances, I could see a changeover of up to 3 starting OL positions (I pray Mankins is in good graces with the Pats brass). Now, as I understand it, the difficulty from hardest to easiest is generally LT-RT-LG-C-RG. As we know, Dante is easily one of the best in the business. How realistic do you all think it is to have such a changeover... especially if all 3 are rookies? I would never have thought our defense would have been as young as it was this year. Could the same thing happen to our line?
