USUALLY

Not sure what part is isn’t understood? Every team in the history of mankind has had strengths/weaknesses… but the champions normally have more strengths than weaknesses and the weaknesses usually don’t suck that bad (but some do). And, no, I’m not going to define “suck.”

All I know is that I’d rather have a good OL than a good group of LBs, DBs, WRs, etc. I’m not going to do the reseach to dispute, in the last 10 years, who had good units of this or that of the teams who have won SBs.

Ahh, f-it… lets just get slaughtered tomorrow and draft some DBs and LBs next April. That would be fun.

OT Trent Williams, Kyle Calloway, Bryan Bulaga

OG kMike Lupati, Jon Asamoah, Mitch Petrus

center JD Walton, Ted Larsen

Super Bowl winners are good top-to-bottom or else they wouldn’t have made it that far. They are usually good at all positions.

We all have different philosophies on how we would build a winner. Mine is franchise QB and good OL. From there, I’d mix and match with trying to be good all over but realizing it can’t always happen. I just don’t think you can skimp.

No matter how hard we try, we’ll never have a left side better than Walt/Hutch, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get good players. And we certainly can improve from the right side of what we had in ’05. And the natives are going to come out in full force with their hatchets on this one, but Robbie wasn’t a “real” Pro Bowler all by himself in ’05. He was an above average C who played on a team who had a runner with great stats and road the coattails of Walt/Hutch and Shaun’s numbers to the Pro Bowl. He was a fine player and I’m glad he was on our side (the continuity was huge b/w our linemen) but if he would have played the exact same way that year for a 5-11 team, there’s no way he would have sniffed the Pro Bowl. Kind of like Tez in the 90s. That guy was the best for a period of time but he never got talked about like he would have if: A. He played in New York or: B. The Seahawks would have won. And I’m used to people taking what I say and using it in a way that I didn’t mean, so I’ll wait for the “I can’t believe you think Robbie sucked” comments and know there’s no way in hell I thought he was a bad player.

I’ve been watching the Iowa game to see Bryan Bulaga and he looked fine (so did their RT). I’d love to have him at LT in ’10. I only saw it on commercials of the Nebraska game though so it’s not like I watched his every snap.
