Re: Note on Cannon (might the OL be getting better)

As was the case last year, we have a six solid linemen. Cannon will get lots of reps, as Solder did last year. Unfortunately, we had hoped for 7 or 8. With health, we'll be fine. But obviously, I'd rather have Waters and Koppen than Thomas and McDonald.

Re: Note on Cannon (might the OL be getting better)

The line I would like to see when everyone is fully healthy would have to be Solder-Mankins-Connolly-Canon-Vollmer. Wendell has filled in great when his # was called but I don't think I want to rely on him full time. That 5 is young (except Mankins but he still hopefully has a good 5 seasons left at his current level) and looks very promising. Let's hope Connolly, Vollmer, and Mankins get to full strength soon and the rest stay healthy. I'd love to see this line for the next 4-5 seasons.
