JBrown/Licht were injured last year, and CChester is one year from 30yrs old. Just saying that it's not completely surprising, without considering "luck" at all. Just hate when we tend to blame some "curse" and "bad luck" instead of admitting this could have been expected.
Anyway, I agree with you - we've drafted some O-line depth, and now's the time to see our depth. Not panicking yet, with a mobile QB and a coach who creates O-lines out of scraps. It could be exciting to finally see developing youth on the O-line, as long as our QB stays upright.
Just don't blame luck, unless it's someone named Luck on the other team.

Word. Those who mainline Kool-aid would try to simplify your argument to just age, but Kory coming off an (major, sometimes career-ending) injury is arguably a bigger concern/red-flag than age taken alone i.e. Kory was unlucky last year, not in 2012. There's also a pretty solid argument to make that not adding a reliable starter at RT was a major oversight. I hear Yoda saying, "
Don't try, dooo right now hehe.
Yeah, there's a lot more than "Luck," which is just Superstition's Irish cousin, at work here.
