Just maddening i had to hear the screams for weapons all offseason and when i was trying to tell people this OL ain’t cutting it there was a whole lot of “🤷🏻‍♂️“ lmao just nuts. Fans know how this team operates. They know we can overcome less than stellar weapons with a strong Oline. They know we can’t overcome a poor oline with strong skill positions. Was crazy to see how ignored OL was by both FO and fans

Meh. I’d rather have the skill position players. We haven’t overcome those issues with a strong OL IMO. 

The last time we won the SB we got lucky with our OL by McKinnie finally figuring out not to be lazy at a pivotal time and it allowing Oher to be an above average RT vs a below average LT.

Yet through all that we had easily the best weapons we’ve had in franchise history outside of maybe what we’ve assembled this season. Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones, Dennis Pitta, Ray Rice. We needed to eek out every last bit of that offensive explosiveness to win it all. We haven’t had that explosiveness the last few seasons and it’s ultimately been the difference when our OL has fallen apart the last few playoffs.

I think it’s far easier to improve an OL over the course of a season than to improve the skill positions and playmaker ability of talent.

So I’m down for it. If the OL gels and our skill players can live up to their ability/stay healthy than that gives us our best chance to win it all IMO.
