    How does it feel to have three solid, young o-linemen that will be with us for years - Jackson, Kindley, and Flowers?

    Guys, these are good. Not if you look at them with one eye squinting and ignore a few plays good, like legitimately, look at their body of work good.

    Seriously, focus in on their bad plays.... Oh wait, there are not those random awful plays.

    I have been wanting this since we had Tannehill.

    This is how you build a sustainable team.

    Have to say I have been pretty impressed with the offensive line in pass protection. Run protection not so much.

    For me what they’re showing, for the first time in many years, is a unit that is working as a cohesive whole. It’s still a work in progress.

    They have to take lumps to learn. With that said, I like the aggression and the fact that they're not backing down. Looking at Kindley and Jackson's faces, I can see that they're having fun. And it's no fun having your *** handed to you, so that's a good thing.

    BTW: Jackson at #18 looks better and better.

    I'm going to play devils advocate and pump the brakes some.

    The first two weeks, and even last night to a degree though it improved, defenses have played incredibly vanilla.

    These young players arent seeing very many exotic looks and pressures.

    I'm not entirely sure our improvement isnt at least 25 to 30% the fact that we arent seeing real defensive schemes.

    Well, I personally can see the improvement in the line. They've got pass protection down. Run blocking should improve. Let's just keep these boys healthy. I especially liked what I saw out of Kindley last night. You can't use the excuse that it's just the Jaguars. Both Jackson and Kindley are rookies. They already look like mainstays. Hopefully we have our Keith Sims/Richmond Webb bros again.

    I was very happy when we drafted Jackson and Kindley, not surprised one bit with their level of play, their both gonna be in the pro bowl real soon.

    Line play is a big improvement. Hopefully Robert Hunt can get up to speed and start smacking around some people too.
