And so it's just a matter of how much time can this group that's already in the building, led by Braxton Jones, Theo Bennett obviously up for consideration, how much time will it take for them to get to their peak?

And we know Dan Rochard is a good offensive line coach.

We know Ben Johnson is a great offensive coordinator and play caller.

Definitely a great play designer.

Not just living with it, but that they're comfortable with it going forward into the season.

I think his concerns start with quarterback and getting the most out of quarterback play.

And clearly you want to have a good running game, and left tackle is a big part of that.

Just remember, 2022 Braxton Jones started 17 games.

So he's been a starter.

But like you said, when everything is now had the standard raised, what he did in 2022 is definitely not good enough.

The raised standard doesn't apply to just one position or this position.

It applies to every single position.

Ben Johnson's trying to let you know, to be elite, to be top tier, to have the number one offense in the league, I need great play out of everybody, not just nine or eight out of 11 guys on offense.

Is that not what you're saying?

You've hyperbolized it.

Is that not what you're saying?

Here's why you've hyperbolized it.

Listen.
