So right now... We have Samuels, Dock, Rabach, Randy, and Jon/Stephen
That is our starting line correct? at least how the roster looks right now..
We still really need help there... I would really like to see that addressed in the 1st round of the draft. Our line is to old. Randy, Jon, and Samuels will probably not last all year without injury. Randy and Jon cant last the year and they both will get tired as the year goes on..

I really think we're making WAY too much about or OL being old. We could start a 32 yr old tackle (Samuels) who is still playing at a high level, a 28 year old guard (Dockery), a 30 year old C, a 32 year old G who has had some injury problems and a 25 year old tackle who won the starting job last year (Heyer). We've also got a 23 year old backup guard in Rinehart who, by what Buges said, could push for time this year. Let's say Heyer starts and Rinehart steps in for Thomas in case of injury. They we've got 3 starters under 30 starting on the line. Are we still 'way too old' on the offensive line?
People act like we're trotting the Hogs out there, at their current ages! Even if we draft one OL, how much younger does that make us?
