Kreutz is a FA, Garza is 32.They have a 2008 1st round pick in Chris Williams, who was drafted as a LT, but have played anywhere but center, and have struggled everywhere.The had 7th round rookie J'Marcus Webb starting at RT, but he wasn't very good either.In reality, IF Carimi pans out (which is a big stretch, given that it's highly likely that rookies will miss time in training camp, and won't be ready for the starting of the season), they will have 1 quality player, 2 competent players, and 2 huge holes at the OL.They have 2 things going on for them. Tice's incredible coaching, and Martz' willingness to adapt his scheme to hide the OL's weakness.But, even with that, their OL will still be one of the worst in the league, it'll still be a weakness, and they'll still have huge problems against good defenses (they only scored 37 points in 3 games against us, 12.3 points per game).So, to sum it all up, having adquired one rookie, no matter how well he plays, won't have corrected their OL problems. Far from it.</blockquote>
