Porky - For one, MN was lost by our D not pulling their weight. We scored 23 and 26 points, which should have been enough to win one of those games.
The other, weren't most of the problems from the Tackle positions, not the inside?
I really don't think the priority to making this a better team isn't the middle of our OL. I'm much more concerned about T Williams getting signed right now.

I agree. But Porky brings up a good point. We're going up against some of the greatest DTs in the league. Two of them on one team in Minnesota's case.
To push these guys who are build as NTs you could use some good interior linemen. I don't think that Wells has the strength to do that. He's one of the most replacable guys on the line.
Again, I don't like to put Lang at guard. I don't want to screw around with his mechanics too much. Just keep him at RT, work him there. I can't see Tauscher holding on to that starting spot for very much longer. Plus, how good is Bulaga right now? He obviously looked very raw in OTAs, having a guy like Lang who can step in at either T spot and play at a decent level is quite important.
Clifton - Spitz - Wells - Sitton - Tauscher is still the line that I see starting this season.
It gives you good depth at the guard and tackle spots, with Spitz sliding to the center position if Wells goes down.
Like I said, Wells is replacable, but you have Sitton next to him who can handle guys like Tommie Harris by himself, which frees things up for Wells a bit.
