[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 660921"] That argument can be made. But you'd then have to throw him some credit for having Bakhtiari and Linsley ready by week 1 of their rookie years. I don't think it's entirely fair to say in one case it's the coach on the downside and in another it's the player on the upside. There's been an organizational decision to stick with the zone scheme, which by its nature entails a steep learning curve for college guys who didn't play it; some guys will take to it faster than others. Also in Campen's defense, since he was installed as O-Line coach in 2007, only Bulaga and Sherrod were drafted above the 4th. round. Bulaga has missed a lot of time and seems to be heading down the same road as Clifton...playing through serial knee injuries. We don't know where Sherrod would have been at the conclusion of 2 healthy seasons. The Cowboy's line, the presumptive current gold standard, started 3 first rounders and it looks like Collins will take over at LG, a 1st. round talent until he was involved in a murder investigation. In one respect it is fortunate that 4 of the top 6 O-Linemen are in contract years. It forces Thompson to bring in some higher graded talent now for a year of seasoning, as opposed to the "as needed" approach in spending draft capital that we've seen in the past. I'd expect two O-Linemen from rounds 2-4, maybe even three given the fact the Packers have those three 4th. round picks and the fact 9 O-linemen made the 53 man roster last season, an uncharacteristically large group.
