There are a lot of folks saying Jamaal Charles cant/doesn't run well between the tackles, I am just the opposite -- I have seen him run north/south many times with great success. for example, the game in Denver where he set the single game record as a Chief, one of those TD's was right through that a gap. Countless others too, but not so noted because he did not score from 55 yards out, etc.
To me, an OL preforms well when they play as a unit. The 2010 season, they did and though they were still not a good OL, they at least played well together.
I did not see this OL play well together last season. I have a couple players I like there, but until I see the OL work well as a unit, it doesn't mean anything to me.
Too many penalties at key moments. Albert's game is good, he could have a trip to Hawaii if he'd simply stop committing penalties at those times when it just kills a drive.
To be a good player in this league, or in any football league, you need to make those plays that win games. At 2 - 14, this team obviously did not make plays that win.

What's the solution to this offensive line problem we have?
We've invested too goddamn ****ing much as it is. In the past three drafts we've invested 2 2nd round picks and 2 3rd round picks.
And if we let our LT walk (who you supposedly think isn't good enough) and we draft a guy at #1 overall, that solves our LT "hole" theoretically. Meanwhile, the stuff you're talking about with getting insane push in the running game requires excellent INTERIOR linemen more than anything.
Any solution I can come up with to this "problem" you've put forth seems like a giant ****ing waste of ****ing time.
