2) We need another deep threat Wide-out preferably younger and lets add a Rookie Corner..
Webb played well as Nickle and Smith can go man to man...
Remember there was no Chris McAlister without Samari Rolle.

Actually, C MAC was doing his thing long before Samari Rolle ever came in

No prob! A case can be made to eject Oher. I've got mixed feelings about it.

Basically what I'm trying to say is if we get a Pro Bowl Left Guard not Ben Grubbs will our Offensive line still Jell with only 1 off season and a preseason?

I believe they will be fine. We're talking about a whole offseason with OTAs. It's not the same as last year at all when we brought Andre in off the street during the preseason (I think?). Bottom-line: we brought Gurode in late. What do you expect? You can't get chemistry that quick, no. If that's even your argument, then I think Gurode not having the chemistry isn't as much of a problem. He didn't have long to "jell".

I believe the line will be fine, even if we plugged Reid or Oher in the LG position. I think that line will be OK. The weak link is the center position, not even the guard. I find center a greater priority than guard because we have people on this team who I believe can fill that spot. We have nothing really for the center.

Possibly, but the odds of getting a probowl caliber guard to replace Grubbs are not exactly high.

There are a lot of Guards that were runner ups for the Pro bowl but just have not made the leap.. In all truth I feel because of the magnitude of the player and position it takes time to form and play in Unison. In-fact, I think these particularly for Rookies fresh from school to adjust to the NFL at that Position.
