Key phrase... when he gets time. This is why Gruden will be back and so will Griffin. Shannahan built this offensive line with a zone run scheme in mind... light, nimble linemen that can move and get out in the open field. Just like Denver did with Terrell Davis. Bring in a new coach with a new scheme and you simply cannot replace the entire OL to match the new scheme... and its really tough to ask a mobile, 285lbs left guard to now become a stationary blocker responsible for a 325lbs nose tackle. Last year, that same guard was running stretch run plays waiting for Morris to make 1 cut and go. So... it will take time, maybe another year or so. Look at all the criticism Dallas took for waisting all that money and crazy high draft picks on offensive linemen... whos laughing now!?
