IMO we are a little worse on the oline. I believe we’re one or two injuries on the line from being in real trouble. Our TE group are poor – average blockers (where’s kyle brady when you need him???) Maybe we’ll pick up a veteran FA for a little depth…if there’s anyone out there. Increased competition is always good for performance and maybe we’ll see a young guy step up tot he plate.

Naeole was “arguably” the best offensive linemen if you were “arguing” with people who don’t understand a thing about line play. He was good, certainly, but I think we’ll do just fine without him.

KickandSnare: I can tell you from a good amount of film breakdown that Marcades Lewis developed into a fantastic blocker last season. He’s no Kyle Brady, but he was never supposed to be a 6th tackle. That Lewis could come close to replacing Brady says a lot about his character as a player. He’s not a “pass catching TE”, he’s a football player who’s doing what his coaches ask.

Frankly, I’m excited to see Uche or Mo Williams team up with Tony Pashos on the right side of the line and decimate in the running attack. Both those guys can make some giant holes, and I’d expect to see Fred and Maurice having good days on the right side.

A real question exists at left tackle. Is Collier, a small school prospect, really better than Khalif Barnes? Will the Jaguars plan for a future without Barnes at the most important position on the line?

On offense, I think the weakest part are the TE’s, simply because of the injuries and lack of depth. Next weakest would be the O-line, but it’s a weakness out of unproven guys, not poor quality. The core of the unit is there, and so far pretty healthy.

It’s got a great artlicle on our Oline coach Andy Heck. That cat can coach!

I’m excited to see what lewis will bring to the table this year, hopefully he stays healthy!!!
