old. The last couple of weeks the defenses have been able to
dominate the middle, and Orton is looking snake bit.
Are their careers over? No matter what, replacing them has to be a
top priority after this season.

One reason I was disappointed to see Lichtensteiger let go.
And let's be honest, Hochstein isn't young either...

I predict that McDanny will start to bring in bigger linemen. He wanted 'em
from the get-go, but had to take what he had. He's probably OK with the
tackles, but you'll see the 3 in the middle get heftier in the next couple of
years. Can't really complain about the pass blocking, but the run blocking has
not been up to Bronco standards all year. I suspect that it's because we have
Shanny linemen trying to block for McDanny system.

I'll complain that the guards have failed at pass blocking. The pass
rush went up the middle, and Orton didn't have what it takes to handle
that kind of pressure.
Cleatarrior
I'll agree with you on that.
I suspect he wishes Mike had kept Montrae Holland around maybe.

Or George Foster maybe? I forget, what exactly happened to him?
Cleatarrior
Oh yeah, he went Motown...and out...

"Tater" is in the UFL now with Pittman:
The Tampa Bay Bucs aren't the only local team with a doughnut record.
The UFL's Florida Tuskers, based in Orlando, are off to a 3-0 start ...
and riding high on confidence.
Tuskers RB Tatum Bell, a former NFL running back, said this week he
thinks his UFL squad could defeat the 0-7 Bucs.
When teammate Michael Pittman, another former NFL'er, told the St.
Petersburg Times that some Tuskers would "probably tell you" they could
beat the Bucs, Bell provided the emphasis.
"I'm one of them," he told the paper.
He went on:
"I think that's how confident we are as a team.We feel like we can go
out there and play with some of the best of them. There's a lot of savvy
vets that have a lot to prove to everyone. I think that's what also
makes the talent in the league so high, everyone is trying to prove
something."
Pittman, who played with the Bucs from 2002-2007, was more modest.
"I'm not going to say we can beat the Bucs, I guarantee we'd give them a
great game,"Pittman told the Times. "This team, we have a lot of fire,
we've got talent at every position. I guarantee we'd give them a great
game..."

I've been reminded, it's "They call me Tater Salad." His son is Tater Tot.
This calls for a scotch.

What's a "tusker" anyway?

Dunno, I'm not familiar with the term, unless it refers to a careless zoo
employee in the elephant cage.
