[QUOTE="slackerbacker, post: 124616, member: 27"] Bruce, I think you were a little more than fair on the rookie OLmen. I too hope they will continue to improve and get better. However, I have my doubts. While Spitz looks capable of becoming a decent NFL OLmen, I'm not so sure about Colledge and Moll? Many of their faults have been pointed out already, but not much has been said about their play in the 4 close games (Saints, Rams, Bills, Seahawks) we lost. Essentially, their/our inability to run the ball late in the game prevented us from closing out these contests and put tremendous pressure on our QB and Def then and all season long. More importantly, I think its necessary to mention TT mortgaged this season on the backs of these guys and it more than likely will cost us a chance at the playoffs. That's not the OLmen's fault, but it should be noted as TT's choice to go w/ too much youth on the OL. IMO, TT should consider a trade or FA pickup for the OL that could offer real competition for these guys next season. Basically, Spitz and Colledge were gifted starting roles and w/out some comp, I fear both might be too complacent in the off season and not give the TEAM the improvement they need next season. IMO, I would try to find an NFL experienced RG which would force Spitz and Colledge to battle it out for the LG spot. [/QUOTE]
