It feels like working in Cable's system is a 3 year learning curve. Given contracts and free agency, it just doesn't make sense to draft somebody for Cable to work with almost to the point they contract is up. Pete needs to find an OL coach who can do more with the talent he's given right away. There simply isn't enough time to develop OL the way Cable seems to need to.
This is the problem. PC is still trying to use the college formula with rookies where he has them only for three to five years and then they leave. The only problem is that in this league you don't have the luxury of waiting that long and expect to really compete and win championships. He needs to treat the O-Line in the same way as he does his vaunted defense.
Develop and then keep the core O-line players together to build and maintain consistency. This is the only way that RW will not only thrive, but more importantly survive in the long term. Right now RW will be out of this league in no more than 5 more years because of injury or the David Carr syndrome.
I would personally sacrifice some of our defensive performance for a consistent, above average O-Line play to balance out the team.
Perhaps PC doesn't give a damn about that, but we and mostly Paul Allen should.
