Offensive Lineman - Can't Live With 'Em, and They Can't Pee Standing Up...

A little reference to Major League II there for those of you who don't know...anyways...

It's no secret. Our Offensive Line is not exactly what any of us would call "solid." As it stands, we're looking at Marvel Smith, Alan Faneca, Sean Mahan, Kendall Simmons and Willie Colon. But right now, Marvel Smith's still on the sidelines, Faneca still "knicked" up and unhappy, the Mahan/Okobi "battle" is still not settled, I'm not super confident in Kendall Simmons, and Willie Colon has only ever started two games in the NFL (not that I don't think he can handle the job)...

However, the good news in all this, if there is any, is that our AFC North rivals are also having some problems with their respective O-lines. The Ravens have a few young guys who are still adjusting to life in the pros, The Browns are not positive LeCharles Bentley will play (or Steinbach for that matter), and the Bengals Levi Jones AND Willie Anderson are still sidelined.

So misery loves company right? Sure, but let's just hope that we get our situation under control before they do. Otherwise it could be disastrous for our offense.
