[QUOTE="BorderRivals.com, post: 485644, member: 6416"] How would you propose to improve the line? We have our last two 1st rounders coming back in Bulaga and Sherrod. Bulaga was near Pro Bowl level a season ago. With Barclay showing he belongs, we have four tackles (assuming Sherrod can live up to his draft slot) that can get the job done. At guard, Lang and Sitton are above-average starters. EDS is a question mark, but seemed to hold up well at center. Remember, this line did just hold the 49ers to 1-sack, gave Rodgers ample time in the pocket throughout the game, and helped DuJuan have a respectable 1st half running it against an elite run defense. It's easy to say we need to improve the line because we had 51 sacks on the season. But, you have to remember that we had several injuries and we played a well-past-his-prime Saturday at center. Once Barclay got in there and solidified the RT position, things started getting better because Lang moved back to his best position and eventually EDS replaced Saturday. Considering we've locked up both guards to long-term contracts and TT has spent two 1st round picks on tackles, I don't expect much changes to the line other than welcoming back the injured players. At best, we add a player via mid- to late-rounds for interior line depth. [/QUOTE]
