A&O, it hasn't always been the worst unit. in fact in 09 it was probably our best unit. It suffered last year and it is not looking great this year but there are 3 new starters and Jake Long has yet to play so it will look better in weeks to come.

montequi, i agree i would rather have a good pass blocking line than run blocking but colombo is not crippling. i think RT is a priority but would you rather have one of the OT taken in the second half of the 1st round or would you rather have Pouncey? those are the choices Ireland had last year and i agree with him and take pouncey to solidify the middle of the line. good OT arent usually available in FA so I think it is just difficult to fill all the holes on an understaffed offense. Again, KC had and still has a horrendous pass blocking RT but Cassel stayed healthy last year and made the playoffs so it is obviously not crippling.

For KC, Barry Richardson graded out as the 62nd tackle in the league for pass blocking. Colombo was 76th. Richardson's overall grade was a -11.6. Colombo's was -34.1. Richardson's pass blocking grade was -12.2. Colombo's was -25.0. Richardson committed 10 penalties. Colombo committed 9. Richardson allowed 4 sacks, 7 QB hits, and 30 QB pressures. Colombo allowed 7 sacks, 11 QB hits, and 40 QB pressures.

So, yes, KC had a bad RT. But, Colombo is worse, and not by that small a margin.

Looks like I had a crystal ball. dolphin1423 disagreed with me. I wonder what he thinks NOW?
