Special teams was the #1 blame for that loss IMO. We had that game won, til the kick return with about 5 minutes left.  When he hired Sanders right away, I don't think they had many better options though. At that time. I don't like our OL coaches too much either, but I think our OL overall has done better than average, I would say in the good range. They've allowed Ryan Grant to be a top-5 rusher over the past 2.5 seasons. This was a nobody before we got him.Except for Barbre and Colledge at OT, they've pass-protected pretty well under McCarthy here. When benedict was here, our sack totals were very low. With Arod the past 2 years, they've been higher of course, but aside from the early nightmare with Barbre and DC anchoring the bookends, they've been at least average in pass protection IMO. If all 5 starters stay healthy this season, I would say this OL is about #10 in the NFL. Good bookends (if healthy), despite being old. Wells is a good center, Sitton a Pro Bowl quality RG, and I have seen Colledge do well at LG when allowed to stay there for a full season, and if he can't, we have Spitz to put there and not lose anything. I currently feel good about our White Wall.</blockquote>
