I did.

There are very few players throughout the years that I just simply didn't worry about.  Gross, Kalil 1, Peppers, Bradberry, etc...

Guys who showed up, did their jobs, week in and week out.

Looks like we're doing decent in that department now though...

crazy that since Gross we have not had a competent LT replacement until Ikem Okwanu

Not a long term solution but Oher was phenomenal in 2015 until he got the concussion issue that ended his career

Seeming that way to me....sorta.

Moton is like that, Moore to a certain extent, but not the type output of the others named.  CMC was amazing, as is Horn...but both have had issues with health.

Burns has stayed healthy, but doesn't quite affect the game the way that Pep did, Gross and Kalil 1 were incredible to have...same to a certain extent with Smitty as well.

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
