The way I see it, Chad Clifton will be manning Left Tackle once again next season, which brings us to a problem. Right now we are a pass blocking offensive line with what I like to call TNS (tiny nut syndrome). I would really like to see new lineman from Wells over to Clifton to be able to run the ball effectively. But with Clifton back next year, you might as well keep Wells at center too.
What needs to be done in the offseason is to let Colledge walk and let TJ Lang have the LG position. Keep Bulaga at RT and of course Sitton at RG. You keep grooming McDonald and Newhouse as backup tackles and try and get them some mop up duty in real games. But in '11 draft, I believe Well's replacement needs to be drafted. We will never be able to run the b all with light n the pants Wells anchoring that line. Colledge's ineptness in run blocking intensifies the problem and Clifton, well come on, is a total liability in run blocking. We have racked up a lot of passing yards with Clifton at LT in the last 12 years, but I like to be able to run the ball too, and I have seen too many games like last week's Atlanta game.
