When Tom Cable was asked about how his offensive line performed in Denver last week, he used a hilarious double entendre to describe their performance:
"Will we have some speed bumps? Sure."
My only question is; was Cable referring to the challenges of working with a young line, or was he talking about the lineman themselves. Carpenter, Polumbo and Unger certainly resembled speed bumps as they got rolled over time and time again.
I think we need to replace Unger with some veteran talent in the middle and Polumbo is a joke. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. If Okung comes back, he locks down the left side with G Robert Gallery. I'm not worried about Moffit, He's actually looked pretty solid in pass protection. If we replace Unger with 5 time Pro Bowler Andre Gurode and then have Zach Miller line up on the right side for every snap; we can become a much more effective line in a hurry.
Gurode is only 33 and he could be an immediate stabilizing force in the middle. What do you guys think, should we sign him or is there another player in the mix?
