Don't count out Mike Huff this year. Also I guarantee you Craig Roark will
play a lot.
I like Wagner as a coach, but I have talked to coaches who say the line was
not as strong as it appeared to be last year. A lot of Dailey's problems
resulted from poor protection. It appears this year's line will be upgraded,
but right now we are struggling at tackle.
I hope Ola and Barry did not look good simply because they were playing our
line. Both Seppo and Thomas had several "look out" blocks in the Spring
Game.
