I really don't know what is going to happen with the left tackle position. I don't have a problem with Bushrod but he is a 2-time pro-bowler now. He will be commanding a salary I consider, will be higher then his production.
Left tackle is our biggest need AS OF NOW.
But what about the right side? It pains me to say that Strief is not the answer. I like him coming as an extra tackle, but he hasn't been consistent enough in his play.
I do really like Marcel Jones, I think he has what it takes, but his injury didn't allow us to see if he is ready. And Charles Brown? If he is something, he is a left tackle. He may have the feet for that but he is not the mauler we need to play the right side.
There will be a lot of work for the new offensive line/ run coordinator. Hope Sean makes the best hire. My book right now is on Russ Grimm, but I think we may promote from within.
