I am sure the o-line will play together as much as possible. They haven't had much practice together. People have come in and out of that line like crazy. However, it went like that last season too. Albert, Fisher, and Asamoah all missed time. We have a QB who can run and a RB who can catch. With the way our offense is designed, we don't need an A+ o-line. We will throw short passes and screens with the occasional play action down field pass.
I am optimistic. Our HC knows what he's doing.

Yes but the quick pressure right up the gut is disturbing not to mention blitz pickups. Jamal should help that though. Smiths mobility does negate the A+ O-line some unless that pressure is between the Center and Guard.
I trust Tim Grunhard's opinion and when he says there is nothing magical in preseason that changes in the regular. He say you just block and if you cant then there is reason for concern. Getting beaten right at the punch just does not happen this consistently.
