How to fix the O line

Brett Mock has ideas

First, acquiring a legitimate left tackle via trade or the first round of the upcoming draft (trading up if necessary) will allow Charlie Johnson to move to a position more in line with his skills. Second, undrafted free agent Jeff Linkenbach proved two things in 2010. One, he is not suited to play guard. Two, he consistently had success at left and right tackle when he had opportunities to start on the outside — including a solid performance against Jets, in place of an injured Diem.

Adding a new left tackle, inserting Linkenbach at right tackle, moving Johnson in to right guard, and keeping Saturday and DeVan as starters should noticeably improve the offensive line.
